Expecting a baby in the midst of a pandemic is certainly not something any of us ever wished for! It is, however, a current reality for many local English-speaking parents-to-be. The Wellness Centre is here to support you in this highly unusual time.
We’re in the process of setting up a FREE online session with Camille Nadeau, a bilingual doula, to take place on April 8, 2020. Learn all about Camille in a recent article about her in the Quebec Chronicle-Telegraph newspaper. Our goal is to answer your questions and help better prepare you for labour and delivery as you welcome your little one. We also hope to help you connect with other expectant parents who are living the same reality.
Topics to be covered
Camille Nadeau will cover these topics in this online doula session:
- The current situation in the local obstetric system at CHUL, SFA and the MDN de la Capitale-Nationale.
- How to prepare for the ideal birth you had in mind given this new reality.
- Tips and advice on how to handle stress before, during and after delivery.
- Suggestions for your life partners: tips to help them during labour.
Questions to get to you know you better
To make the session as useful to you as possible, please answer these questions when you register by email:
- Where are you giving birth?
- What is your due date?
- Is this your first birth? If not, what are the ages of your other children?
- Are you planning to breastfeed?
- Are you planning on a natural birth, or are you open to analgesics or anaesthesia?
- Write down three words to describe your ideal birth.
- Tell us your biggest concern.
- Other questions? And remember, parents-to-be, there is no such thing as a silly question!
Special notes and how to register
No personal, medical questions: please keep those to ask your doctor or midwife.
Each session is limited to 10 families, so register today by emailing Jan Anderson, Community Organizer: janderson@jhpartners.net and don’t forget to include your answers to the above questions!

Giving birth in the midst of a pandemic is certainly not something any of us ever wished for! It is, however, a current reality for many local English-speaking parents-to-be. The Wellness Centre is here to support you in this highly unusual time.
Get ready for birth in these unusual times by taking part in a three-session virtual prenatal course guided by Doula, Camille Nadeau. Learn all about Camille in a recent article about her in the Quebec Chronicle-Telegraph newspaper.
The aim of these sessions is to give you tips for an active and calm childbirth, and help prepare you for the unexpected. We hope empower you on how to make an informed choice in terms of medical decisions and how to stay calm and resilient, no matter what.
- Where: Online videoconference sessions. All you need is a cellphone, tablet or laptop with a camera and an internet connection.
- When: Mondays, May 4, 11, & 18, 2020 at 7:00pm

Join us for an informative videoconference session dealing with the subject of Elder Abuse. Mistreatment is a single or repeated act, or lack of appropriate action, occurring within any relationship where there is an expectation of trust, which causes harm or distress to an older person. It can take many forms and be intentional or unintentional. Sometimes mistreatment can be hard
to recognize or assess. It’s important for us to become more aware and protect ourselves and others from elder abuse, ageism and mistreatment. Learn more about this important subject with François Desmeules, CIUSSSCN Social Worker and Facilitator with the It’s Not Right! outreach program.
Registration is necessary so we can send you the log-in details prior to this event. Please email our community organizer to reserve your place.

EPIQ Volunteer, Dana invites you to celebrate the summer solstice with a cleansing spa night. Now more than ever is a great time to cleanse ourselves inside and out while welcoming this wonderful time of year. So put on your comfy summer jammies, grab a glass of whatever quenches your thirst, and join in on an interactive vitual spa night.
Dana will be giving a hair mask tutorial with the ingredients listed below. We may also do facials and a tutorial on “dry brushing”. Many of the ingredients for the mask and facial you probably already have in the house, and if not can pick up cheaply and easily at your local pharmacy or grocery store.
Registration by noon on the Friday prior is necessary since our get together will be done via teleconferencing and we need to send you the login details.
Hair Mask Ingredients:
- Coconut oil
- Pink Himalayen salt (or any salt that is not fine. Himalayen sea salt works too!)
- Tea tree, lavender, peppermint or rosemary essential oil
- You will need a bowl and a towel
Face Mask Ingredients:
If you already have a mask – use that! If not then you’ll need:
- Honey
- Oats (preferably big oats)
If you have micellar water, toner, and moisturizer, please have close at hand as well. If you do not have a dry bush ,that’s ok! Dana will explain the proper way to use one. Any questions – feel free to contact her.
