StoosNews Spotlight: Check Out The Business Beat This Week Featuring The First Five Club, JHS Bookkeeping Plus, Heather Bradley and Belmont Spiritual Health

PTBOCanada is delighted to be running StoosNews columns each week here, spotlighting new businesses and startups in Peterborough and the Kawarthas. Here is this week’s edition…

The First Five Club is the brainchild of Whitney Stoner, who is using her entertainment, recreation and fitness industry experience to create a vibrant community of fellow parents and families.

Stoner says the first five years of life are a crucial period that not only shapes a child's development but also shapes the bonds between caregivers and children. With a focus on fun and wellness, the First Five Club offers everything from lively meetups to workouts and zen time with diverse programming, affordability, considerate scheduling and expert instructors.

Peter and Michelle Davis recently launched JHS Bookkeeping Plus.

They offer Full-Service Bookkeeping, CRA Representation, Church, Not for Profit and Fund Bookkeeping, QuickBooks Online Set Up and assistance and QuickBooks Online Payroll and more. With over 30 years of experience, Peter, a CPA-CGA, possesses in-depth knowledge of all aspects of small businesses, and Michelle brings many years of experience handling operations. Both are Certified ProAdvisors for QuickBooks Online.

Award-winning children’s author Heather Bradley recently launched her new book ‘We Both Speak English But…’

It is the story of two cousins, two countries and one language. The cousins live over 3,000 miles apart. One wears a slicker, wellies and carries a brolly while the other wears a raincoat, rubber boots and carries an umbrella. One cousin wears a jumper, the other a pullover but Granny knit them both!

It’s a different kind of bilingualism that demonstrates that it’s not our differences that set us apart but our refusal to embrace them. You’ll find We Both Speak English But… at Kent Books, the Wee Tartan Shop, The Book Lady or online at Amazon, Barnes and Noble or Friesen Press.

Karen Kearney recently joined the team at Belmont Spiritual Health and Wellness Centre, which opened in June in Havelock.

Kearney is a graduate of the Esthetician program at Fleming College, holds a diploma in OTA, and is certified in reflexology. She offers facial massages, Royal pedicures and manicures, relaxation back massage, full relaxation massage, hot stone body massage, waxing, lash and eyebrow tints and ionized foot detox.
