Stress, trauma and grief can leave us feeling uncertain, disempowered and disconnected. It’s hard to figure out what’s happening to us and how we can change it.
Healing starts with the body.
The nervous system and brain hold the key.
We all have the capacity for joy and ease.
No matter what has happened to us,
we can reacquaint ourselves with the body
as a safe space and resource.

Our life journey has always returned us to healing.

We may have many titles, qualifications and life experiences but at present we are answering the call to support people on their healing journey.

When I was younger I would have looked back on my life as a series of traumatic events that continually created hardships for me. Now I see it very differently.
With the current change of perspective, trauma has now become accepted and almost a natural part of living and even considered important for personal growth. Now I see my personal healing journey as not only for integrating myself but for helping others with this difficult path. What was once kept to the counseling room, I am now able to offer more people online.
My life’s journey has been all about becoming whole again. After experiencing many traumatic events in my life I came to learn the importance of healing in its many forms. My natural calling to help others drove me to become skilled holistically. I became a therapist, naturopath and a spiritual guide. Even with all these modalities that I could offer my clients I found that these did not address the underlying issue we face as human beings. We can heal the mind, the body, the spirit but fundamentally if we don't feel safe within our own skins it’s all band aid. I believe this is the missing link that is critical to healing and integration. We have a right to feel safe. It is what we need and deserve.
Joy and an openness to explore our own being is the goal of my work in helping others on their healing journey.

I had a deep intuitive knowing from a young age that I needed to dance. I loved movement in all its forms and experienced surprising transformations through moving my body. I decided to study dance full-time at university and it was there I began my training in gentle somatic methods. I was amazed to experience profound levels of healing through the work. It sparked a curiosity in me about how movement could have such a big impact.
At the same time I was engaging in service in my community, volunteering with battered women, working with young children, helping neglected and abused dogs. I saw how disconnection from the body was often one outcome of experiencing trauma. It was also clear to me that the body holds a wisdom beyond what most people realize. It seemed to me the body held the answers to most deep change and healing.
It became a passion and I embarked upon over twenty years of research and practice into somatic and other methods of healing and transforming body and mind. I studied and practiced yoga, meditation, Qi Gong, sacred and contemporary dance forms, learning the hows and whys the body is the key. I found life, vitality, joy. We all have a body. Anyone can do this. I felt a deep wish to share those methods that had worked for me and make these more accessible to others.
When Giselle and I reconnected, it seemed our lives had been following parallel paths that always brought us back to healing. I felt called to support others on their healing journeys. The Embodiment Institute was born out of our friendship and this collaboration, this deep wish to share.
Wellbeing is a journey that calls us
to be attentive to all aspects of ourselves.
It is a process of transformation that involves forgiveness, acceptance and presence to our selves,
ultimately leading us to a state of harmony and ease.
