Awaken
Join us for a somatic movement and sound bath event -- no prior experience needed, just an open mind to explore body-oriented healing. As this is a morning event, our practice has been intentionally curated to awaken and rejuvenate the mind and body.
We’ll begin with some gentle movement, vocalization, breathwork and listening practices that will guide us into a sound bath for deep listening, connecting with the vibrational sounds of singing bowls, chimes, and gongs.
Please dress comfortably, the space is well-air-conditioned. You’re encouraged to bring anything else you may need for the sound bath for maximum comfort (pillows, blankets, sheepskin, etc). We have a few soft surfaces to offer, and you can expect to be lying down for at least half an hour, in which time our body temp may lower which is why a layer or blanket would be recommended.

Land Acknowledgement:
We acknowledge that the land on which we gather today is the traditional and unceded territory of the Kanien'kehá:ka Nation. Tiohtiàke/Montreal has long been a gathering place for many First Nations, including the Haudenosaunee and the Anishinaabeg. We recognize the Kanien'kehá:ka as the custodians of these lands and waters and want to honour their connection to this territory.
We are deeply committed to my ongoing education in social justice and to honour and respect the diverse histories and cultures of Indigenous peoples who have lived and continue to live on this land. We strive to move forward with gratitude, respect, and dedication to the path of reconciliation.

My Approach:
I love personalized rituals and practices, acknowledging that what benefits one person may differ from another. With that in mind, I offer a range of options to help individuals discover what resonates and feels beneficial in their bodies. Rooted in a body-first perspective, my approach prioritizes choice, and collaboration, and values mutual learning, where everyone's wisdom contributes to our shared experience.
Accessibility:
Please note that the current studio location is not wheelchair accessible, requiring access via stairs. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. I am actively exploring more accessible studio options for future sessions. Your suggestions for accessible spaces are welcome and appreciated.
