This one’s for caring professionals who know they’re missing something…

You can be compassionate, well-trained, and brilliant—
and still find yourself guessing when survival shows up.

Because trauma isn’t only a story. It’s a state.
And when survival is running the show, insight can’t always land.

But the body is still there. Movement is still happening.
And if you learn what to track, you can support a shift—without pushing, forcing calm, or overriding protection.

So yes, you’ve heard fight/flight… freeze… fawn.
But what does it look like in someone’s breath? Their eyes? Their tone? Their posture?
What’s the lived experience of those states?

And… what do you do about it?

Embodied Trauma Skills Training (Intro/Phase 1) is where you learn the map + the method:
real-time tracking, trauma-informed cueing, micro-movement, pacing, boundaries, and ethical co-regulation—inside a small, intentional, application-based container.

This isn’t a “if you have the money, I’ll fit you in” training.
It’s curated. It’s paced. It’s trauma-informed top to bottom, inside out, beginning to end.

EXHALE.
Salt Spring Island · Aug 20–23, 2026

You have been holding so much.
Deadlines. Caretaking. Decisions. The invisible work of being the steady one.

This retreat is your permission to soften.

Join me at the Salt Spring Centre of Yoga for three nights of intentional rest, nervous system reorganization, and spacious time to simply be.

Each day we’ll practice:
• Mindful Somatic Meditation™
• Gentle embodied movement
• Mindful Somatic Breathing Flow™
• Journal explorations that help you listen inward
• And long, unstructured afternoons to wander forest trails or rest in the meadow

You’ll be nourished with farm-fresh vegetarian meals, tea, and quiet beauty everywhere you turn.

This is for you if:
– You know when you’re out of survival, everything in your life shifts
– You’re ready to exhale instead of brace
– You want to support Canadian land, teachers, and community with your time and resources
– You long to feel more like yourself again

You don’t need to fix anything.
You don’t need to perform healing.
You simply need space to remember your own rhythm.

Early Bird pricing is open.
Come alone. Come with a friend.

Let’s exhale together. 💛.

So many of us are reeling today after the mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge.

My heart is with those who were killed, those injured, and every loved one now living in the shockwave of this violence. There are no words big enough.

And already, there’s speculation and blame being aimed at trans people—before anything is even officially confirmed. Please: don’t turn grief into a hunt for a scapegoat.

Let the focus be care, solidarity, and support for the community—and the deeper work of addressing what fuels mass violence in the first place.

No one deserves to die in violence. No one deserves to live in fear.
We can choose division, or we can choose healing.
