A Morden business that offers a variety of health and wellness related services celebrated its expansion into a larger space last week.
The Prairie Dragonfly held an official opening and ribbon cutting Thursday at its new location at 131 7th Street.
Owner Kaylee Meakin, who is a registered massage therapist and spinal flow practitioner, said it was exciting to see the growth in terms of what they can provide for the community.
“My dream was always to create a community of wellness and specifically for new beginnings for moms and families,” said Meakin, who specializes in prenatal and postpartum care. “I wanted to create a space where it was welcoming for new families where they can get the support that they need for whatever part of their life journey that they’re in.”
She is working with registered nurse Kendra Guevin from Two Peaks Consulting, who is a certified lactation consultant, as well as Sidney Sinclair, who is a certified counsellor.
“I also carry some baby gifts in the front, so that was kind of just a side project that I came up when I had young kids of my own … there wasn’t very many options for quality baby gifts in the area, and I didn’t always want to have to go to Winnipeg or order online, so it was a service that I thought I could provide,” Meakin said.
The response and support they have received thus far tells her that these services are very much needed here.
“It’s been very well supported. Our community is amazing,” Meakin said. “I see moms driving an hour to see me … so I’m very grateful. There’s always a need for more, to do better, to be feel better. You shouldn’t have to live in discomfort in pregnancy and beyond.”
She holds on to the thought of considering further expansion in the future.
“Maybe in terms of services for sure. I have some extra space here,” said Meakin. “I am looking for other services to provide, possibly reflexology, but incorporate it into that wellness part of this business. We’ll see.
“This was my dream, so we’ll see where it goes from here.”
