Jaana sees singing and dance as gateways into remembering what it is to be human. For her, they are the places where the body can lead, guiding into compassion, love and connection with the Earth.

She first fell in love with singing through choirs and the traditional Finnish and Celtic folk songs she discovered in high school. Her longtime inspirations are women and mothers of storytelling, particularly Laura Marling, Missy Higgins, Joni Mitchell and Eva Cassidy. After a long pause, sharing her voice has become a tender and ongoing journey with friends and family, unpacking layers of shame and suppression that so many of us carry and learning to meet the vulnerability of being heard.

The ancient call of song was sparked to life again for Jaana through sister circles, choirs, fireside singing, time by the creek and the freedom of ecstatic dance and contact improvisation. These spaces remind her that song touches a primal part of us that words alone cannot reach.

Each time she sings, Jaana aims to show up honestly and vulnerably, sharing parts of herself that root her in her own humanity, whilst inviting others to feel more of theirs. Through melody and rhythm, she weaves story, wisdom and connection.

We can’t wait for you to be bathe in .joy enchanting voice. There’s something so soft and gentle, yet deeply powerful, in the way Janna transcends and uplifts others through her sound.

If you haven’t booked your spot, now’s the time! Come be part of a community and experience the true essence of connection.

Ericka has spent more than half her life dancing—teaching, performing and moving for pure joy.

After a 15 year break, she realised what dance had truly given her all those years: not just the obvious physical benefits, but a way to move emotions through the body, to find presence instead of getting lost in a scattered mind and to feel connection instead of isolation.

Dance was her bottom-up therapy before she even had the language for it. It helped her feel safe in her body, gave her an opportunity to be in synchrony with others, and offered the experience of being attuned to and delighted in, qualities we all need for secure connection.

Ecstatic dance is her way of sharing that gift: a space free of choreography or judgment, where music and movement come together as a moving meditation, an opportunity to return to the body in a safe environment, to experience yourself and your sense of belonging.

We can’t wait to move with you Ericka! To join in 👇🏽

Community is not shaped by ego, it’s shaped by the understanding that we all share an inherent thread of belonging.

When we began this journey, bringing people together wasn’t always easy. There were awkward moments at first, but over time, connections formed. Slowly and surely, that invisible thread grew stronger.

For those who are new, stepping into something unfamiliar can feel daunting. But the beauty lies in meeting others who come without judgement, breathing side by side to create an inner relationship.

To truly connect within, we must PAUSE the search outside ourselves and turn INWARD, to meet all our parts, to befriend them, witness them and gently shed the layers we’ve built around our hearts.

💙 Join us this Saturday, 16th August, for Community Breathwork — where breath meets belonging.

Next Friday, August 15th — Men’s Breath + Sound.

https://www.creativerootsbreaththerapy.com/event-details/mens-breath-sound-kobble-creek-14

As we approach 3 years of service, we’ve been reflecting deeply.

We want to acknowledge all the brothers who have shown up and who continue to show up.

Getting to know each of you more intimately and witnessing your courage to lead from the heart has been powerful.

Now more than ever, we need men who are willing to show up for themselves, because that ripples out into how you show up for your families, your work and your community.

This space is for men ready to stand alongside other men to feel inspired, to grow and to remember who they are.

We become the people we surround ourselves with.

Choose wisely. Show up bravely.

A shoutout to a living extension of this work, keeping the community rooted in connection, brotherhood and consistent support each week.

Loving this time in my life, no matter the waves 🌊 of life one thing is apparent, I’m liking who I’m becoming.

When you begin to know your own value, you stop worrying about what others think…, this has been a lesson I’ve sometimes have learnt the hard way.

But when I turned 40 I decided no more..

Why are you at ease lately?

Id love to know how you’ve change since making a commitment on yourself 👇🏽

🌀 Why am I talking about tiny C. elegans worms? Because even with just 302 neurons, they can learn, adapt and respond to stress, just like us.

Their simplicity helps us understand something profound:

👉 Your nervous system is always listening.
👉 It’s not about being “stronger” it’s about returning to safety.
👉 Healing starts when you learn to regulate, not just react.

From breathwork to presence, we’re rewiring pathways every day.

Your wellbeing isn’t just in your mind, it’s in your nervous system.

✨ It’s not about never feeling stress.
Stress is a natural, even necessary part of being alive.

The aim isn’t to avoid it completely,
but to learn how to come back.
To return to centre. To remember safety.
To know how to move through, not stay stuck in it.

Your nervous system is built to rise to the moment
and to recover.

That recovery > that return > is the healing.

So take a breath. Stress isn’t the enemy.

Staying there without a path home is.
