"This is our meditation practice as women, calling back the dead and dismembered aspects of ourselves, calling back the dead and dismembered aspects of life itself.
The one who re-creates from that which has died is always a double-sided archetype. The Creation Mother is always also the Death Mother and visa versa. Because of this dual nature, or double-tasking, the great work before us is to learn to understand what around and about us and what within us must live, and what must die.
Our work is to apprehend the timing of both; to allow what must die to die, and what must live to live."
~ Clarissa Pinkola Estes
Honoring the wild journey of deep surrender and trust to the mystery of all that is unfolding within and without. β¨

Embodied Return
6 Week Fall Online Yoga Series π
This fall transition has been one of the most disorienting seasons, yet the sensuality of fall always brings me back to my body through its vibrant colors, smells and natural inward pull.
It's often through the most up-rooting and un-grounded times that our bodies tend to speak up to remind us to return. πͺ·
Return to its subtle communication of sensation and signals
Return to its natural rhythms and cycles
Return to its interconnectedness with the earth, animals, and all beings and creation
Return to its wisdom in supporting you through dis-ease, disharmony and illness
Return to its resiliency in being a container of safety for you to experience the full range of emotions as you navigate your journey
I've created this series to support you in returning and re-establishing communication between your body and mind through activating breathwork, somatic mobility & movement, restorative postures, & deep relaxation.
Each class is centered around the energetic of the current moon cycle, inspiring you to re-align with the cyclical nature of the earth, the fall season, and the cycles of your body and being. π
If you are feeling disconnected from your body,
If you feel sore, achy, fatigued, heavy or frozen,
If you're overwhelmed by the external & needing to calm the monkey mind,
Or yearning for slowness, presence, and embodied ease,
This series will help support you.
As we descend into the dark season, let this series be an anchor for you to gather in community, re-center in your truth, and connect you to your inner light to guide you through to the Winter Solstice. βοΈ
Class details:
Wednesday nights 7pm-815pm PST
Live stream on zoom with recording
November 15 - December 20
Sliding scale $70-$100
All levels of experience welcome. Come exactly as you are. π

A dance between being challenged to break through barriers & limiting beliefs or being asked to redirect, soften & let go.
Yoga, Breathwork, embodied practices are catalysts in waking you up to the fire that is within, igniting your intuitive wisdom in navigating this dance.
Your mind might tell you one thing, but your body may be saying something else leaving you with an opportunity to reflect deeper on why this teacher is showing up & how to move through.
So how do you know what you're being called to do?
Your body knows. Your ancient wisdom & intuition knows. Your heart knows.
When you notice resistance showing up, tune into the sensations in your body. Ask your heart what it needs & give yourself the permission to do that.
Join me this Sunday at .ca from 10-12pm for A Journey Through Breath & Sound - an inner traversing of the internal to re-establish the communication between mind, heart, body, soul.

You already hold all the power to manifest what you desire in life π.
Remember your role in owning what's serving you and releasing what isn't.
Remember your role in expanding your capacity to forgive, love, set boundaries, to RISE.
Remember your role in stepping outside of the perceived boxes you unconsciously place yourself in, to break free from your own limitations!
"You don't just do a surrender, you surrender over and over and over again" ~ Caroline Myss from Anatomy of the Spirit.
Join me Sunday August 21 @ 10-12pm Wild Coast Yoga for another powerful Journey Through Breath & Sound workshop.
Remember who the f*ck you are by trudging your inner landscape and feeling into the incredible DUALITY that is life!

It's always dark before the dawn
It's always messy before it's not
Contract, expand, evolve & shed
If you're feeling the intensity of life, good! It means you're awake to what's working & what's not and can choose to move forward in your truth.
It's not meant to be easy, the challenge is what imprints you and creates the lasting shifts.
What is your intuition calling to you at the moment? What needs to shift?

Thank you for taking the time to visit my page and learn more about me and my services. I am grateful to have picked a career which I am excited and passionate about sharing. I have been practicing massage therapy since 2014 and have been an avid yogi since 2010. I love incorporating both practices into my treatments and truly believe in the healing potentials of both.
In 2016 I took the leap and created my small business Ananda Wellness. βAnandaβ, a sanskrit term for βblissβ, is what I strive to achieve in my work. I find a lot of fulfillment in working one on one with clients to learn what they are hoping to achieve in their self-care plan and hold a space to assist them on that journey. Through active listening and mindful technique I approach every appointment with my full presence. I feel a great honor in having the opportunity to work in this capacity with clients and offer tools and resources that I find helpful and effective. In my massage therapy appointments you can expect to have a relaxing and personalized treatment geared towards your specific goals. Whether you require deep tissue pressure to release wound up βknotsβ or tigger points, or more of a relaxing touch, I can accommodate your preference.
I am excited to be offering my services to the valley here on mid Vancouver Island, and am constantly amazed at the beauty this part of our island provides. Out of the studio I spend most of my time outdoors in the mountains and gorgeous trails around the area with my fur baby border collie pups. The rest of my free time has recently been dedicated to upgrading my studies at NIC with intention on pursuing Traditional Chinese Medicine. I am extremely excited to be back in school and on this new journey to add more knowledge and tools to incorporate into my practice. Although the journey will be a long one, I feel very aligned with this goal.
I look very forward to meeting and working with you. If you have questions please donβt hesitate to contact me.
