If you guide others on a path of healing, whether it’s 1-1 work, group work, teaching or guiding in any form, you carry immense influence. Whether you like it or not, how you show up, the energy you carry, and the courage you inspire in others is going to be affected by your leadership energy… or lack-there-of.

Why All Healers Need to Embody Their Leadership Energy I was asked recently: What does it mean to be a leader? (Thanks for this prompt, Dana!) As I reflected on this, one truth became clear: not all healers are leaders …. but we should be. If you are guiding others on a path to healing, in

Are you ready to reclaim the energy currently tied up in self-doubt, decision fatigue, or imposter Step fully into your power and authentic voice—without letting self-doubt, decision fatigue, or imposter energy hold you back.

In this 5-hour immersion, you’ll move beyond intellectual leadership and step into grounded, authentic and embodied authority. Through guided practices you’ll:

• Differentiate your calm, confident, wise Self from parts carrying doubt, fear, or imposter energy

• Reclaim and redirect the energy of these parts to fuel authentic leadership

• Strengthen your nervous system to feel spacious, resilient, and empowered

• Expand your presence so your leadership is felt, not forced

• Integrate insights into your work, relationships, and life with clarity and confidence

By the end of the day, you’ll leave more anchored in your authentic power, attuned to your inner guidance, and ready to lead with clarity, courage, and presence.

This personalized immersion is led by Jen Reddish of The Essence of You, a Registered Master Therapeutic Counsellor with over 17 years of experience, and a certified Forest Therapy Practitioner and Reiki Master.

Jen is joined by:

Trina Metz, Intuitive Guide & Meditation Teacher from Into My Body

Brea Livingstone, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, Yoga Teacher, and Embodiment Coach from Brea Living Coaching .co

Together, Jen, Trina and Brea offer a seamless integration of psychotherapy, somatic resilience, energy attunement, and coaching, creating a multidisciplinary approach designed to support women who lead others in cultivating self-awareness, embodied presence, and a deep connection to their inner wisdom.

In this spacious, transformative container, you will be supported to explore and release internal blocks, and begin to amplify the leadership energy that is your natural state, setting the foundation for more aligned and confident leadership.

Limited to ten participants to ensure a personalized experience. Early pricing ends April 15th. Register online at or send a dm for more details.

Another potent night at The Ritual Portal, our monthly full moon gathering.

Tonight we explored the theme of maintaining sovereignty while staying open in relationships with others. Every single moment was powerful and every woman walked away with much more clarity and deepens awareness, myself included.

These monthly gatherings are soul filling in ways I cannot articulate - but I am so grateful for them and love co-facilitating with 🩷🌕🌲

We hold them outside in the forest on private land in Bragg Creek. We gather around a warm fire and our connection with nature depends the whole experience, undeniably!

Registration opens just one month in advance - send a fm if you’d like to join us next time….

Tonight! It’s time to stop suppressing your anger and rage and time to start listening to its wisdom. 🔥

Most of us were taught to hide our anger, but what if your rage is actually a sacred messenger pointing toward your truest needs and boundaries? Join us for Sacred Rage, a live, guided session where we move beyond the overwhelm and into a space of deep curiosity and compassion.

or
Monday, April 20th | 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM MST

One spot just opened up for Tuesday night’s full moon gathering in Bragg Creek.

Dm to join!

The Ritual Portal is a powerful container for presence, community connection, and transformation. It is a ceremonial space held with reverence, inviting embodied ritual and connection to the rhythms of the earth, the moon, your body and the deep feminine.

Together, Jen and Trina create a soul-rooted, energetically attuned space for women to reconnect to their truth. This space welcomes you into a living ritual, held under the full moon, in the forest, around the fire.

You are invited into this portal: a deeply transformative space between what has been and what is becoming. Here, we return not just to ourselves, but to a sacred way of intentional, ritualized living.

My own art therapy piece from the Alignment Retreat! I asked to lead a sesh on expressing alignment of self energy and it was such a nourishing way to creatively integrate what was unfolding through the weekend.

I offer art therapy in my work, as well - but I just love the vibe Amelia brings when she holds these art collaging sessions and love having her contribute to my retreats!
