Anima Soma Wellness

Anima Soma Wellness Massage therapist with holistic self-care in mind

This is a visual representation of what your body wants to feel like.

The structured water in your fascia, electric charge in your cells, lymph in lymphatic vessels and nodes, blood flowing through veins and arteries, your thoughts and emotions, your whole body movement. Life force, energy, chi, ki, kundalini or whichever name you prefer to use.

All of it thrives on flow. And there can be so many road blocks along the way.

Dehydration, lack of varied movement, negative thoughts, energetic blockages, lack of contact with your purpose.

All of these can be resolved with simple (but not always easy) solutions.

Simple, but not easy, as it involves devotion.

Not perfection, but devotion. To yourself. It’s about understanding what makes your body run and tending to the inner flow.

Myofascial release, lymphatic body work, somatic lens when looking at physical symptoms, energy clearing and balancing. This is the crossroads where my work lives.

Both/and. Both the physical and the energetic. They are not seperate, ever. Some might even argue that any physical symptom has an energetic root cause.

This is the essence of Anima Soma. Soul and Body.

Treating one but never neglecting the other. Looking at your whole human experience to find more space within, relief and a sense empowerment.

If this sounds like something you’ve been waiting for, let’s work together.

Hear ye, hear ye!

Finally, I can let you all know that Distance Energy Healing sessions are GO!

This is a great option for anyone who doesn’t live in the Comox Valley area, or for whatever reason prefers to receive energy work from the comfort of their own home.

All the same elements of my energy work sessions are included, the grounding meditation, followed by targeted energy healing and re-alignment, finishing off with gentle sound healing and channeled, intuitive messages specifically for you.

This is so exciting for me, as it allows me to provide my services to anyone with internet access, no matter where in the world you live.

After the session you will receive a PDF file with the touch points from the session - this is going to be useful as sometimes a lot of things come through and the relaxed brain doesn’t always retain everything.

Fun fact, I am fluent in Polish, so this is also a service I can provide to Polish native speakers that maybe prefer communication in their primary language, or anyone who doesn’t speak English.

If you have any questions regarding distance healing, shoot me a DM or comment down below, I will happily answer them.

Today, I’m offcially 39. The last birthday with a 3 in front.

People ask how I feel about it, and honestly?

I LOVE IT

I have never felt more like me, with access to all the parts and grace towards all of the shades of grey within me (or most, still working on some spots)

This past year has seen a lot of good times, times alone, times with friends, times with my loving partner and sweet dog.

This past year has also seen a lot of tears, doubts and fears as I worked through limiting beliefs, let myself finally feel grief that I was scared of my whole life.

This past year has seen many hours working with clients, learning, thinking, meditating and receiving - more of growing into myself, the service I can provide and receiving-evaluating priorities. Anima Soma Wellness has moved into my own space that allowed me to move and work within it as I was intended to - my way.

This past year has seen more joy and play, something that hasn’t always come to me easily, especially when I stopped depending on substances to get me there.

This past year has been the best year. And the heaviest. As they tend to be, when you’re growing out of a current skin and not quite fitting into the new one.

And that’s life, so that’s ok.

I feel incredibly grateful for the people in my life, for the place I live in, for the priviliges and opportunities I get to experience. I’m grateful fro every person I got to work with, assisting them on the way to finding themselves.

Here’s to 39!

*Reminder, you get a whopping 39% off Anima Soma treatments this whole month as a treat from me to you! Booking link is in bio*

There is so much that we ingest on a daily basis.

Between the world news, endless email and text notifications, IG reels or TikToks grabbing our attention.

There is so much more information readily available at the tip of your fingers. And that’s amazing in so mamy ways!

And also - not everything is meant to be taken in. Maybe not right now, maybe not ever. Not all advice, even if genuinely good, is good for you.

You’re meant to have an opinion on everything, instantly, naming things good or bad. But rarely are things are sinple as that, everything carries nuance.

Our cups are full to the brim nowadays, so it’s time to get more mindful with what you let fill it.

Take a beat before applying anything to yourself, develop a relationship with your body that will allow you to discern whether or not something is for you or if it’s meant to pass you.

Heck, the same applies with this very post!

And if it feels like a relationship with your body like that is a foreign concept and you don’t know where to start, grab a seat and let’s fogure it out together.

Shifts in my work are happening and I’m seeing how much need for building inner discernment and capacity is needed, so I’m making it a priority when working with people.

Sessions with me revolve around creating the groundedness, space within and connecting to your inner knowing.

How to cut through the noise?

(Yes, I’m aware of the irony of me talking about this while creating more online “noise” lol)

With so many teachers, experts and “experts” sharing daily and flooding our feed, how do you truly know what information will serve and what only feeds into a place in your heart that’s disconnected from your inner knowing of what you need?

Remember, not everything is for everyone. And sometimes something isn’t for you because it’s simply not the right time or space for it.

As someone who has a hunger for knowledge and continuous improvement (learning to let that need go), I have gotten myself into frenzied places of simply not knowing what information or advice to follow and what to let go?

I have been working on communicating with my body and really leaning into trusting what I know is true for me.

And you can to!

This is where the idea for my upcoming workshop came from. To help you remember that you get to choose what you take in. That you have an inner compass that always knows what you need or don’t.

It’s just a question of connecting to it intentionally, as often as you can, until that voice cuts through any other noise around.

Join me on November 5th in my studio
6:00-7:00
$25
We will work with some practices that will ground you deeply in your body and intuition, that will help you tap into your energetic boundaries and working with their permeability.

Short, sweet and practical tips while playing with the subtle body.

DM me for more details

An evening to hold a candle to your inner knowing, connecting to your own compass and tuning into edges of your physical and energetic being.

October 22nd
6:30pm - 7:30pm

We will meet at Anima Soma studio at 83 Salsbury Road

With a nourshing herbal tea in hand, I will lead you through practices that will help you truly feel when your body is saying YES and NO, how to tune into and keep solid energetic boundaries and how not to fear other people’s emotions overwhelming you and your body/spirit

Space is very limited as my studio is small. Possibility of multiple dates is interest is high enough.

$25

All you need to bring is something to keep you comfy during some meditative practices, either sitting up or laying down.
Bring a journal/notebook to take notes if you wish, a crystal or anything else that you feel will help you be grounded and present during the evening.

DM to claim your space!

Here’s a little story on being humbled by your body.

As I’m trying to get back to a regular exercise routine, I’ve been doing more work outs. Intentionally going slow, getting my body used to using particular muscles and being mindful of movement.

That still wasn’t enough to get schooled. Last Wednesday after a workout I felt my piriformis seize and compress my sciatic nerve - In simple terms I got a deep pain in my buttcheek that went down my leg.

As a physio/massage therapist/former kinesiologist and general fascia nerd, I through EVERYTHNG at it. Stretching, lacrosse ball release, taught my husband how to Rapid places I couldn’t reach, used a vibrating massage ball, did energy work on it. I mean, EVERYTHING. It would feel better and then go back.
As I am familar with pain science, I did everything to work with my nervous system too, trying to establish safety, keep moving and continue blood and lymph flow.

Today, I folded. I laid there and flat out asked that tight muscle “What do you need from me?”

I heard “Rest”

But how? I know laying down and not moving is not the answer. I’m also working and don’t want to cancel my clients. How can I approach this without stopping my life?

So I took to movement in a different way.
I put on slower music than usual for workouts (dopamine hits help me get pumped to move, today I chose this song) and flowed.
Started with lymph node openers, some qi gong and then went horizontal.
Pieced together a few moves from and moved intuitively.

While in the pictured position I asked that area again “What’s going on?”

“I don’t know where I am”

This wouldn’t make sense normally, except I recently realized I’m on the hypermobility spectrum and that’s part of the issue - the body lacks proper proprioreception and in turn engages muscles “just in case” for stability

But treated metaphorically, my whole self feels a little lost.
Sure, I know exactly how I want to work with people, I just opened my own space. But it’s also new territory in a way and my body was showing me what I wasn’t registering consciously.

Today was a special day.

We communed, meditated with our wombs and made art together.

I haven’t felt so in touch with myself and excited to be perceived in a long time.

Especially that I’m not in the best “shape” of my life - whatever that means anymore.

There’s something to be said about being fully accepted and cheered on by some awesome chicks in your life. Especially if they get so excited when creating that they sound like h***y male photographers 🤣

Thank you for leading us deeper into ourselves and for inspiring us to experiment with your delightful enthusiasm for photography

More days like this please!

Back to regular content tomorrow 🤣

It’s official, Anima Soma Wellness is open for business!

This is the culmination of a decade of studying, trial and error, constantly re-evaluating what’s for me and what isn’t.
I can safely say I have found MY WAY.

My way of tending to you, your body and your essence.

Gone are the days of seperating physical pain from your emotional and energetic worlds.
Care that only focuses on the painful spot and nothing beyond.

You are a whole amalgam of stories, circumstances and experiences. It’s time that someone tended to the whole picture.

I like to say my treatments fall on a spectrum.

Physical and energetic treatment aspects are always present, just in different ratios.

Soma sessions lean more towards the physical (but will always include grounding, relaxation and energy work techniques to allow the body to receive)

Anima sessions lean heavier on energy work, chakras, emotions of your organs, channeled messages and ancestral clearing (but might include body work modalities, sometimes performed on an energetic level)

Anima Soma sessions lands exactly in the middle with body work techniques and a full energy work session

Every session can be expanded by a sound bath

Private sound bath and custom meditations will give you just the right dose of relaxation needed

Distance Reiki sessions coming soon!

Your healing is yours, but it doesn’t mean you have to do it completely alone.
Allow yourself to fully receive and see how everything changes!

Anima Soma books are open!

To claim your spot follow the link in my b!o.

If you have any questions, drop me a message in the DMs and I’m happy to answer!

See you soon!
