Ritual Studio
Renée Dijk R.Kin & studio staff
We offer movement sessions for all body types and physical abilities. Whether our clients are looking for care with a Registered Kinesiologist to address chronic pain or injury, or if a client is looking for a fun way to exercise in a group setting, the studio is welcoming and open to all. We offer one on one and small group training sessions with Kinesiologists as well as yoga, spin, strength and hybrid boutique sized classes. Our clients include: people expecting joint replacement surgery, stroke and Parkinson’s patients, people with Osteoarthritis or Rheumatoid arthritis, first time exercisers, the aging population, pre and post natal people and anyone with specific health and wellness goals.
At Ritual Studio our group classes are all boutique in size, meaning ten or less students in class at any given time. This allows the instructor to give full and careful attention to all students. We are proud to offer yoga classes, spin classes, strength classes as well as hybrid classes which combine spin, strength, and yoga into one energizing hour of movement!

Tests include walking gait analysis (with and without shoes), muscle strength, foot/ankle alignment and joint flexibility, assess joints and muscles while seated, standing and walking to determine if and where abnormal function and mechanics exists.
Yoga Strength Release

The Nurture Duo: Responsive Sleep Support
Hayley Chenard & Erin Ryan
​We are Hayley & Erin from Nurture Duo. We offer one-on-one responsive sleep support for families.
As infant and toddler sleep consultants, our work is grounded in attachment, nervous system regulation, infant development, and underlying factors that can impact sleep (such as feeding, sensory needs, and airway considerations). We do not use sleep training methods; instead, we focus on supporting families in a way that feels respectful, biologically normal, and aligned with their values.
​
Sleep challenges can leave caregivers exhausted and confused. Our sleep consults blend neuroscience, nervous system understanding, and responsive care to create realistic, emotionally supportive strategies — without pressure or rigid training methods.
Together we explore your child’s patterns, strengths, and needs, then co-create a plan that honours your family’s rhythms and values.
​
What’s Included:
-Intake review & sleep pattern discussion
-Tailored strategies grounded in responsive care
-Education + practical tools
-Follow-up support (three weeks)
