Martine Lauzon Coaching

One of the questions I often explore with clients is:
“What did you have for breakfast?”

Not because breakfast needs to be complicated, but because the way we begin the day often sets the tone for our energy, focus, and blood sugar balance.

Today’s breakfast looked like this:
🥣 Greek yogurt with berries, pistachios, chia seeds and cinnamon
🥚 Eggs for additional protein
🌱 My morning greens for micronutrients from Vegegreens Pineapple Coconut

Why this combination works:
• Protein supports satiety and stable energy
• Healthy fats help slow glucose spikes
• Whole-food carbohydrates (like fruit) provide energy and fiber
• Cinnamon may help support blood sugar balance
• Greens add a wide range of micronutrients

One important concept I always come back to with clients is bio-individuality — what works well for one person may not be ideal for another. Some people thrive including animal proteins, while others prefer a fully plant-based approach.

Personally, I sometimes really enjoy vegan breakfasts too. This same idea could easily become a plant-based meal using options like coconut yogurt, tofu, nuts, seeds, and fruit.

The key principle is not a rigid rule — it’s building meals that include protein, healthy fats, fiber, and micronutrients so the body feels nourished and supported.

Small choices like this, repeated consistently, create a strong foundation of health. Plus, I am in love with making beautiful food 💛

What’s your go-to breakfast lately?

Valentine’s Day isn’t just about who you love.
It’s about how you care for your nervous system.

How you nourish your body.
How you speak to yourself.
How you choose calm over chaos.

Self-love isn’t loud.
It’s daily.
It’s steady.
It’s disciplined in the most gentle way.

This is what real love looks like. 🤍 This is the heart of my coaching.

A Moment to Begin 2026 is a free, thoughtful reflection and easy to print guide, shared alongside a new blog post. It’s a meaningful place to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what matters as you step into the year ahead.

It’s a gentle awareness portal, not a hustle-y goal setter, created to help you slow down, listen inward, and strengthen self-trust.

Learning to listen is where self-trust begins 🌌

Practices like yoga, meditation, and intentional movement, often explored in local wellness spaces such as , can support this process of slowing down and listening inward.

Grateful to have completed my Meditation Training with PranaShanti 🤍

This was about deepening what I already live and share — and what a gift it is to guide others in experiencing this too:
✨ presence
✨ nervous system regulation
✨ compassionate awareness

Meditation invites us to take a gentle journey inward — to slow down, listen, and reconnect with ourselves in a meaningful way.

You’re welcome to gift a meditation session or series to yourself or a loved one this Christmas 🎁
Meditation sessions are offered in-person and online.
For current clients, this can be beautifully woven into our coaching work.

Feel free to message me if you’d like to learn more about meditation or to gift a session 😌

🥒 Meet my Emotional Support Pickle.
My son surprised me with this little guy, and honestly… it might be the most thoughtful thing I’ve ever seen. A soft reminder that even on the tough days, I’m a BIG DILL 😭💚 — and that support can show up in the sweetest, funniest ways.

Who knew healing could look like… this pickle? 😂
But here we are — finding comfort in tiny things that make us smile.

This season, may you also find small, unexpected moments of support:
💚 A laugh
💚 A soft place to land
💚 A reminder that you matter
💚 A tiny pickle energy boost

If you need emotional support — or help finding your grounding again — I’m here. ✨
Share with someone who needs the reminder that they're a big DILL too 🫶🏼🥒

The sunshine caught me today… and I let myself stop and truly feel it and I hope that you did too. Warmth. Gratitude. Presence. ✨

This time of year can feel rushed and full, but there's much beauty in slowing down and choosing intentional moments of wellness — for your mind, body, and for your heart.

As the festive season unfolds, I’m reminding myself (and you) to weave in gratitude, rest, connection, and small acts of kindness.

And more than anything… to savour the moments of togetherness. The laughter. The shared meals. The quiet presence of someone you love sitting nearby. These moments are everything — the real gifts of this season.
They ground us. They nourish us. They become memories we carry.

If you need support slowing down, reconnecting with yourself, or honouring your own rhythm this season… remember that I’m here. 🤍

✨ UPDATED BLOG ✨ Seasonal Affective Disorder: Practical Tools That Actually Work This Winter

Winter is beautiful…
and winter can be a lot.

If you’ve been feeling heavier, slower, less motivated, or not quite like yourself, you’re not alone — especially here in Ottawa, one of the coldest capital cities in the world. ❄️

Your body is responding to the season.
You are nature — and nature is slowing down too.

I just updated one of my most popular blogs with the newest, most effective strategies to support your mental, emotional, and physical well-being through the darker months.

This isn’t wishful thinking.
It’s not “just get outside more.”
It’s a grounded, compassionate approach to winter that actually helps.

If you’re craving more light, more steadiness, and more energy — this is for you.

You don’t need to push through winter alone. 💛 This winter thing is REAL and it's here. It's coming back next year too 🙃 Let’s prepare, strengthen but soften, and walk this season together.
