My Favorite Fall Spots for Rest, Recovery, and Recharging
Fall always reminds me to slow down, to reset, breathe, and take care of myself inside and out. Between training sessions, client programs, and everyday life, it’s easy to forget that recovery and balance are just as important as the workouts themselves.
This season, I’ve been leaning into routines that help me feel grounded, cozy mornings, mindful movement, and nourishing meals. Here are a few of my favorite local places that make this season even better:
1. Massy Books
📍 Vancouver
If you love curling up with a good book and a warm drink, this spot is a must. Massy Books has an incredible selection of wellness, health, and personal development reads, and the best part? They’re 100% Indigenous-owned and always supporting local authors. It’s the perfect place to find inspiration and recharge your mind.

4. Arctic Heat Retreat
📍 Fort Langley
Contrast therapy, sauna and cold plunge has been a game changer for my recovery. Arctic Heat Retreat offers such a calm and welcoming space to reset your body and mind. It’s one of my favorite ways to recover after intense training days or when I just need a mental refresh.
