Witnessing and supporting the healing power of horses with others brings me a level of joy I didn't know was possible.

Equine Facilitated Learning- where the horses hold safe, gentle space and help guide you back to your inner Light.

In Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, your body is supported to feel safe enough to unwind the life experiences, stories, traumas, and hurts you've carried. With each session, you find more peace within, and a re-membering of who You are starts to emerge. A reclamation of Self. And through this, you take the pen and start to write a new story for yourself.

It's a deeply humbling experience to support someone in their re-membering process. I've witnessed incredible transformations of Health and Wholeness with those I've worked with. I am in awe of what we are capable of healing from.

Whether you are carrying physical, emotional, or mental hurts, Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy can support you on your healing journey.

It's never too late to heal. It's never too late to find You again. You are worth it.

I think one of the best lessons I learned about healing was from a horse I worked with a few years ago.

She was four years old, and she had been dealing with stomach pain for most of her life. We were chatting in a session one day and I asked her if she was open to trying peppermint to help ease her discomfort. She looked at me, quite surprised, and asked "that's an option?!"

That really hit me. She had lived with the pain for so long, she didn't know there was an option to not be in pain. This was just "how it is."

It's an exchange I think about a lot, not just in my practice, but in life. How often do we get accustomed to being a certain way, living a certain way, feeling a certain way, that we don't pause to consider there could be another option?

In cycles of chronic pain, unhealed trauma, and long drawn mental or emotional distress, we can find ourselves in a place of "this is just how it is now."

But
What if there is another option?

This is where having support on the healing journey can be so monumental. Because sometimes, outside support and perspective can offer new options. It can even give rise to Hope.

In my Craniosacral Therapy practice I get to witness these shifts all the time. When the body is allowed to feel safe and supported, new options start to arise for healing. Fascia unwinds, muscles soften, organs regain their full function, the hurts start to fade, and the mind finds peace. Suddenly "this is just how it is now" is no longer the only option. Suddenly, Health, Thriving, and Joy are open for discovery.

I am grateful for that incredible horse who taught me so much from a seemingly simple exchange.

If you are curious how Craniosacral Therapy can be a support for you or you animals, DM me or email bree.anaka@gmail.com You can come see me at my healing space in Silver Creek or I can come to you, anywhere in the Shuswap and North Okanagan Regions

Do I Treat my Own Animals?
I get asked this every now and then, and my answer is always "it depends."

There are many times when my animals ask for a session with me and they have beautiful shifts and processes unfold.

Other times, they are quite clear with me that I'm too much in my "mom over-worrying brain" and I can't be neutral enough to support them. In those moments, I happily pass on the torch to one of the amazing practitioners I am connected to.

I appreciate that working with my own animals always reminds me to stay humble. That just because I have my own skillsets doesn't mean they'll always want me working with them. They remind me that it's ok to ask for help. And sometimes, an outside perspective is necessary to help bring about shifts and changes.

I am grateful for the community of talented, compassionate, and incredible practitioners I trust to support my family when they need.

To celebrate how well recieved the shift in my Craniosacral Therapy practice has been to offering sessions out of my home and mobile to the Shuswap and North Okanagan regions, I would like to share the abundance with my community.

I have chosen to donate 10% of all earnings in July towards an incredible local, Nonprofit Organization: UGrowGirl. This means that your healing sessions help support a woman to heal.

UGrowGirl raises funds year round to be able to offer FREE healing retreats for women who experienced Childhood S*xual Abuse (CSA). This is a topic that is very important to me; I believe children are gifts who should be protected, honored, and celebrated. The unfortunate reality is that CSA is incredibly common; with 1 in 3 girls and 1 in 6 boys experiencing it before the age of 18. Due to underreporting, it is known these stats are low and there is no reason to think there is a difference between rates for boys and girls.

I know this is a topic many of us would prefer to avoid. But the thing is, ignoring the darkness doesn't make it go away. It's only when we have the courage to face it and shine a light that it dissipates.

So, whether you book a session at my home or I come to you, you will be helping spread the light and healing our world needs. Thank you trusting me on your healing journey, and for allowing me to contribute to a cause I deeply believe in.

Sending love, Bree

Something I think that doesn't get talked about enough in our society is:
Following your dreams is hard. It isn't a Disney movie where you sing a few songs and everything works out happily ever after.
Following your dreams will challenge you.
At times, it will break you.
You will question your choices.
You will wonder if it's all worth it.
It will take longer than you hoped, and often times, the path to get there will look nothing like you thought.
But here's the thing:
Not following your dreams is just as hard.
Living a life that doesn't fulfill you. That feels empty. That has you looking for escapes and dreading your days. Living a life that feels like a constant chore and slowly degrades your spark. Living a life that isn't actually living.
Both options are hard.
And the beautiful thing is, if both are hard, it makes the decision of which path to take easier.
Why?
Because, if both are just as hard, but only one guarantees you will realize your dreams, then the choice is obvious. If you have the courage to take it.
I say this as I reflect on the life I've chosen with my partner. 6 years ago, we left what we were "supposed" to want- careers, house, cars, holidays, weekends of escape- for a life we wanted- living out in the woods in BC with our animals pursuing what our hearts were calling for. We could have never imagined along the way that the world would shut down, we would go through job loss, family loss, multiple moves, facing our shadows, and nearly ending our relationship more than once. It has been a brutal journey following our dreams. And, it has been the most rewarding, enlightening, heart-opening thing we could have ever done for ourselves. I've lived more in the last 6 years than I did in the prior 28. We weren't living in Saskatchewan, we were maintaining. And slowly, we were losing ourselves. So we took a chance; a rather large leap, and decided to risk it all on our dreams.
Every painful step has been worth it.
So, if you are someone debating what path to take, please know whichever you choose will be hard. So maybe the question to ask is, which hard is worth it for you?
Good luck on your path, I'll be cheering you on from the side lines.
And to everyone that's cheered us on and helped us along the way, truly, thank you. We wouldn't be walking our heart path without your support.

One of the things I love witnessing as clients start to feel better in their bodies is the return of joy in their life. As they heal their various physical, emotional, and mental health needs, space returns within them to pursue the things that light them up. I love celebrating the moments of "I went back to yoga for the first time in a year!" , "I started running again, wow it felt good!" , "I'm writing again. The words are just flowing. I haven't been able to do this in years!" Whatever it may be, the joy they feel at pursuing their delights always brings about a smile and a small cheer from me. It's a real privilege to be a witness to people finding their happiness again.

This morning I'm reflecting on this in my life. And remembering to take my own advice and celebrate my moments of returning to joy. I can't honestly remember the last time I sketched anything. I've always loved drawing and painting; as a child I was constantly creating something new. Somewhere along the way, I lost this light. I started finding reasons to leave art behind - too busy, not good enough, a waste of time, more important things to do, and so on and so on. I had forgotten that art doesn't need justification, it's something I enjoy for the sake of enjoying.

And with that, with some tentativeness, I've decided to share my moment of joy here. All pencil, no digital manipulation. Perhaps in sharing, I not only remind myself to keep finding the pockets of joy, I may even spark someone else to keep finding theirs.
