Embracing Seasonal Wellness with Maliya
As the seasons transition, so do our bodies and minds. Each season brings its own unique set of challenges and opportunities for self-care. At Maliya Wellness Centre, we understand the importance of adapting our wellness routines to the ever-changing environment around us. Discover practical tips to navigate the cold weather, holiday stress, and diminished sunlight, and learn how our curated treatments at Maliya can be your sanctuary for holistic well-being.
Navigating the Winter Blues
Winter, with its crisp air and blanket of snow, can also bring about the winter blues. The decrease in sunlight during these months can lead to Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), a type of depression that occurs at a specific time of year, usually in the winter. Combat the winter blues by incorporating more light into your routine, whether it's through spending time outdoors during daylight hours, using light therapy lamps, or enjoying relaxing treatments at Maliya that promote feelings of warmth and rejuvenation.
At Maliya, our wellness specialist understands the impact of seasonal changes on mental health. From soothing massages to yoga therapy sessions, our treatments are designed to uplift your spirits and ease the tension that often accompanies the colder months.

Self-Care Tools for KIDS around the holidays
The holiday season, while filled with joy, can also be a time of change and potential stress for children. At Maliya Wellness Centre, we recognize the importance of supporting kids during this period of transition. Here are some practical self-care tools for children to navigate the holiday season:
Acknowledge emotions surrounding change:
For many families, the holidays can bring about changes in family dynamics, such as divorce, loss of a loved one, new marriages, or siblings. It's essential to acknowledge that these changes may make the season challenging for your child. Encourage open communication by letting your child know that it's okay to feel a range of emotions. Provide comfort by validating their feelings and inviting them to share memories, fostering connections even when circumstances have shifted. Discussing and creating new traditions together can help in easing the impact of change.
Prepare kids for changes in routine:
Changes in routine during the holidays can be unsettling for children. To help them navigate this, set age-appropriate expectations for any alterations in their usual schedule. If holiday events involve situations that might challenge them, such as long dinners or meeting new people, plan and discuss the day's schedule with your child in advance. Having them repeat the plan back to you ensures their understanding and provides a sense of control in unfamiliar situations. Maintain some constants, like physical activity and downtime, to support emotional regulation.
Let your child help out:
While the break from school is exciting, increased downtime can pose challenges. Engage in an open conversation with your child about how to best support them during the holidays. Involve them in the holiday planning process to foster interest and excitement. This could include activities like decorating, volunteering, cooking, planning downtime and other activities, and creating shopping lists. Model for your child the importance of balancing rest and responsibilities, such as schoolwork or studying, during the holiday period. This collaborative approach empowers children to actively participate in their well-being while enjoying the festive season.
Embracing the Cold Weather
The changing climate can impact both physical and mental well-being, presenting an opportunity for tailored self-care. At Maliya Wellness Centre, we invite you to embark on a winter wellness journey that goes beyond traditional approaches.
Winter often brings with it a sense of introspection and a desire for rejuvenation. The shift in temperature can affect not only your skin but also your overall sense of balance. Instead of focusing solely on skincare, explore holistic wellness practices to nourish both body and mind. Maliya's wellness experts are here to guide you through personalized regimens, encompassing mindfulness, nutrition, and stress management techniques that will keep you resilient throughout the winter months.
As the seasons change, so should our approach to wellness. The winter season, with its unique challenges, provides an opportunity to prioritize self-care and embrace the warmth that Maliya Wellness Centre can offer.
Let us be your partner in holistic well-being, guiding you towards a healthier and happier you.
