Holistic Weight Loss & Wellness: Rebalancing Your Body in Midlife
If you’re a woman navigating midlife changes and feeling frustrated with weight gain, low energy, poor sleep, or shifts in your body that don’t feel like you, you’re not alone and it’s not your fault.
In this intimate and supportive workshop, holistic nutritionist and Metabolic Balance coach Sarah Cormack will guide you through a smarter, more sustainable approach to weight loss and wellness. This is not about dieting or restriction. It is about understanding your body, supporting your hormones, and creating lasting change that feels good.
You’ll learn how to experience healthy, sustainable weight loss, improve deep and restorative sleep, boost your energy and mood, and reduce cravings naturally so you can feel balanced, energized, and like yourself again.
This workshop is ideal for women 40+ who are ready to move beyond frustration and finally understand what their body needs in this season of life.

SSAC: Introduction to Greensleeve Advance Care Planning
We’ll walk you through the steps of advance care planning:
Think – What is important to you and what you would want if you are not able to speak for yourself.
Learn – What your health care choices may be if you become ill.
Decide – Who you want speaking for you if you were unable to speak for yourself.
Talk – With the people you care about, and who care about you, to let them know what your future wishes are.
Document – What documents do I need?
And we’ll introduce you to the Sunshine Coast Green Sleeve – a “container” for your advance care planning documents. It contains the information emergency responders, your healthcare providers and your family need to ensure your wishes are honoured.
Everyone is welcome, but space is limited. Please register in advance by calling 604-885-3513 or emailing acp@coasthospice.com.
Assertive Communication Workshop
Do you often replay conversations afterwards, wishing you’d spoken up — or worry that being more direct might upset someone or create tension? This small-group workshop is for people who tend to people-please, avoid conflict, or second-guess themselves, even when they know their needs matter.

We’ll explore common communication patterns, the role of the nervous system in moments of discomfort or conflict, and why many people freeze, over-explain, or stay quiet rather than risk being misunderstood or creating conflict.
After a 30-min break, the second half provides space to apply what you’ve learned. Participants are encouraged (but never required) to bring real-lif
