Pauline Elizabeth Blades

Pauline Elizabeth Blades is recognized by Continental Who’s Who as a Pinnacle Professional in the field of Hospitality as a result of her role as Owner and Operator of Halifax Executive Suites and the Morning Mist Cottage. Pauline Elizabeth continued her entrepreneurial spirit out of necessity when she moved from Canada to the Bahamas to teach Music Education in Nassau. Needing a home to come back to she bought a beautiful condo in the heart of the Halifax and turned it into a vacation rental. This was an easy undertaking as she had been operating Morning Mist Cottage Retreat for 12 years. Pauline has a passion for decorating and renovating and spent many years studying in the hospitality industry and mentoring with a top designer. She loves taking something that is quite ordinary and turning it a beautiful work of art. The guests that visit both properties are cared for and nurtured. Creating happiness for her guests is Pauline’s pride and joy.

Morning Mist Cottage is located in Shelburne County on 62 acres of lake front private woodland. Morning Mist is in a growth spurt and by 2017 will be a complete retreat center for recreation, spiritual renewal and healing. The garage will be a stunning abode for learning, yoga and dance and will transform to house 12 additional guests bringing the total number of possible guests to 24. Pauline is a member of Tourism Association of Nova Scotia and a four star accommodation with Canada Select. Pauline Elizabeth is a multi-talented person and continues to have many irons in the fire. She holds undergraduate degrees and a Masters in Psychology and Human Relations, dozens of certifications, graduate studies in Music Education and is a certified Kodaly and Orff specialist. While teaching in Canada she won a national award for Music Education Excellence.

 

She is director of an International Children’s Orff Ensemble in the Bahamas, which promotes peace education. Pauline’s spiritual commitment has been first and foremost in her life and spans almost 40 years that began when she completed her first teacher’s training in yoga at the Sivananda Ashram in the Bahamas. She is a writer and will publish her first book in 2016. Relationships with family, friends and colleagues are vital to Pauline. She is the mother of four adult children and six grandchildren all of whom grew up during the summer at the cottage and will continue the legacy with their own children.
