A supportive group for navigating life transitions, embracing change, and reconnecting with what matters most.
Life doesn’t always unfold the way we imagined. Sometimes a chapter ends through loss, a move, a relationship change, a shift in identity, a career transition, or simply because we’ve outgrown the life we once knew.
And, even when change is something we choose, stepping into what comes next can feel uncertain.
Becoming is an invitation to pause, reflect, and gently explore who you are becoming as you move into your next chapter.
Co-facilitated by Leigh and Nina, this experiential workshop offers a supportive space to acknowledge what has been lost or left behind, and make room for a new sense of purpose.
Together we will explore:
What it means to navigate a major life transition
The grief that can accompany change
Who we have been, who we are now, and who we are becoming
Through mindfulness, somatic practices, reflection, guided exercises, and meaningful conversation, you’ll be invited to slow down and listen inwardly to your body, your heart, and the parts of you that may be ready for something new.
Becoming is about discovering what is emerging within you and creating space for the next version of your life to unfold.
You don’t have to know exactly where you’re going to begin.
Friday October 16th from 6:30pm to 8:30pm.
Located in Beautiful Britannia Beach at the Healing Space #29 - 351 Copper Drive, Britannia Village

A heart-centered restorative yoga experience.
The heart space in our bodies holds so much including love, longing, tenderness, disappointment, change, and pain. Sometimes we can’t fix what hurts, but we can tend to it and learn to be with it gently.
Join me for a gentle, heart-centered restorative yoga experience in beautiful Britannia Beach. Through supported restorative postures, mindful movement, breath, and guided reflection, we’ll explore what it means to gently turn toward the places within us that may be tender or asking for attention.
This is an invitation to slow down, soften, and listen inwardly. You are welcome to bring whatever is present in your heart, whether that is pain, love, transition, longing, or simply a desire to reconnect with yourself.
Together, we’ll create a warm and compassionate space to honour the heart exactly as it is, while allowing room for ease, connection, and perhaps a little more openness.
Saturday October 24th from 11am to 1pm
Located in beautiful Britannia Beach at the Healing Space #29 - 351 Copper Drive, Britannia Village.
$55 - Receipts provided for your extended health benefits.

A 2-hour Therapeutic Yoga Group
Anxiety can affect more than our thoughts. It can reshape how we breathe, move, sleep, relate to others, and experience our bodies. Sometimes we become so accustomed to anxiety that we lose touch with what safety and ease actually feel like.
Unmasking Anxiety is a therapeutic yoga group designed to explore anxiety through a compassionate, body-based lens. Through gentle restorative yoga, somatic practices, mindfulness, and guided discussion, we will explore how anxiety shows up in the body and nervous system.
This is an opportunity to slow down, become curious about your experience, and develop practical tools for meeting anxiety with greater compassion rather than judgement.
This group is facilitated alongside my friend and fellow counsellor Naomi Aris Horii- Naomi Aris Horii
No previous yoga experience is required. All practices are gentle and adaptable, with an emphasis on choice, curiosity, and creating a sense of safety within the body.
Set in the cozy mountain surroundings of downtown Squamish.
Sunday November 1st - 1pm to 3pm
Location: The Yoga Studio Squamish, BC - 37776 2nd Avenue (upstairs)

A Restorative Yoga Journey for the Heart
Join me for a two-hour nourishing yoga journey created as a mini-retreat for the heart. The intention is for you to have a quiet space to pause, breathe, and receive some much needed comfort and care.
This will be a slow and gentle practice designed to help you turn inward and settle into a sense of support. Through guided meditation, mindful breathing, and deeply supported postures using plenty of props, you’ll be invited to soften the body, quiet the mind, and connect with your heart.
Simply come as you are, in loose comfortable clothing, and allow yourself to be held, nourished, and taken care of.
This is a heart-based practice for anyone moving through heartache, disappointment, change, or just feeling a need for a little tenderness.
This is a chance to rest deeply, reconnect with yourself, and remember that healing doesn’t always require doing more. Sometimes, all that we need is a safe place to let go.
2 hour restorative yoga journey - Saturday November 24th 2pm to 4pm
$50 - Receipts can be provided if you have extended health benefits and wish to claim this expense.
Nestled in the cozy mountains in Squamish at the Yoga Studio downtown: 37776 2nd Ave.

Join me to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with yourself beside the ocean.
In this gentle, restorative workshop, we’ll explore grief through the healing language of nature. Through slow, supported movement, mindful awareness, natural materials, and ocean-inspired imagery, we’ll create space to notice and tend to what we’re carrying. This class is designed to support you in finding moments of calm while moving through grief and life transitions.
You’ll be guided through “Where the Ocean Meets the Heart,” a mindfulness journey inviting you to connect with the rhythms of the sea and the wisdom of the natural world. Using the ocean as both metaphor and anchor, we’ll explore the changing nature of grief.
This workshop will include:
Gentle restorative yoga and embodied practices
A guided mindfulness journey: Where the ocean meets the heart
Nature based grief exploration and metaphor
We’ll work with stones, shells, and treasures from the shore as invitations for reflection and grounding.
Ocean visualization and reflective practices
Time for quiet integration and personal reflection
Because The Healing Space is situated beside the beautiful ocean, you’ll also be offered guided suggestions for spending meaningful time at the beach following the session, weather permitting. You might choose to walk, sit beside the water, gather a natural object, listen to the waves, or simply be still and allow the experience to settle.
This is a space to pause from the busyness of life and simply be held by the rhythm of the sea.
All forms of grief are welcome. Come as you are. Let the ocean soothe your heart.
Sunday November 29th from 2pm to 4pm.
Located in beautiful Britannia Beach at the Healing Space #29 - 351 Copper Drive, Britannia Village
