OUR APPROACH

It takes a village.

The Cherry Tree Way

We offer a place of care where women are supported to reconnect with themselves, explore their stories, and grow into the lives they want to lead.

At Cherry Tree, we believe no woman should have to hold everything alone. We offer a space of care, safety, and healing where you can share your story, reconnect with your voice, and face life’s challenges with strength and self-trust.

Our approach nurtures an inclusive community where women—in all their diversity—feel seen, valued, and empowered. Together, we’ll honour your lived experience, clarify your goals, and create a path forward rooted in connection, compassion, and resilience.

Wherever you are in your journey, we’re here to walk alongside you toward balance, purpose, and clarity.

THE MEANING BEHIND OUR NAME

As the national flower of Japan, the cherry blossom is one of the most prominent images throughout Japanese culture and reflects a longstanding Buddhist concept in Japanese culture known as “mono no aware,” or roughly, “the pathos of things,” which recognizes both the beauty and mortality inherent in life.

So stunning, yet so brief in their glory, the natural beauty of the blossoms serves as a visual reminder that our lives are also precious, transient and impermanent. 

As we go forward, we can learn to engage with the space we are in, to find joy, passion and renewal in the small gifts tucked inside each day.

 

Known as 'Sakura', the cherry blossom symbolizes revival, and rebirth.
