The Practical Healer

The Practical Healer A integrated approach to healing.

My style of somatic based work generally doesn’t appeal to those seeking to “release” things in a get-rid-of way.

Nor does it appeal to those seeking a dose of catharsis in their first session.

Somatic work, in my practice, involves coming back into relationship (or discovering) with ourselves, our bodies, in a new way.

Like any relationship, that’s not always easy, simple or without nuance.

In order to resolve and integrate our lived experiences, sensations and emotions inclusive, we also need to be in relationship with them. That’s where possibility lives 🐝

Perspective.

One, more focused view can be good. Beautiful in its own way.

Another, wider and less focused view holds a different appeal.

We need both, in healing and transformative work. The zoomed in, focused awareness and the wider, big picture view.

Framing things in a way that supports zoomed in, focused navigation of life’s experiences, big and small, while also keeping the big picture centred in awareness is a key aspect of what I do.

Getting to do that surrounded by nature right out the window is a huge blessing ✨

We’ve been led to believe that the best things in life can only happen for us if we work hard, fix all our faults and check the boxes off.

One of the most challenging things to live into is that this isn’t, generally, true.

Yes, often we do need to engage in challenge, adversity and put effort in.

And- our ability to do that isn’t inherently the difference maker in many cases.

When we internalize the standards the external culture perpetuates, we forget to acknowledge all the ways in which our health/worth or contentment actually have very little to do with checking boxes.

Root into seasonal herbalism and nervous system care with an evening offering space to soften, ground and gently expand into a new season.

We’ll begin with a warm herbal tea and a quiet arrival into the space before moving into simple and accessbile practices to settle into our bodies and open our awareness from the inside out.

From there you’ll be guided through a hands-on tea blending experience, exploring a curated selection of seasonal herbs. You will be invited to come into relationship with the plants, learning their flavours, qualities and traditional uses as you create your own custom blend to take home.

We’ll close with a guided body-based integration practice, with space for reflection, journal prompts and time to simply rest.

What’s included:
• A cup of herbal tea to sip as you arrive
• Guided herbal tea blending with 5–8 herbs to work with.
• Your own custom tea blend to take home (approx. 20 servings)
• A facilitated introspective breathwork and somatics practice
• A gentle unwind and grounding integration practice

This experience is for anyone feeling the pull to slow down, reconnect with their body, and enjoy a meaningful, restorative evening.

No prior experience is needed.

Pricing:
$65 + GST/ Individual Ticket
$115 + GST/ Two Ticket Special (bring a friend, a loved one or a date!)

Spots are limited to keep the experience intimate. Email evoke.bodymind@gmail.com to register or message me here!

Yeah, life is busy and full of inconveniences, unexpecteds, pains and endless stuff to get done… but as you’re doing all that, take a chance to notice the birds, the sun, the wind, the breath.

The antidote to being a victim to urgency in noticing the space between and within the things we are already doing.

Wellness exists within the life you’re already living. Awareness is the difference maker.

Plant medicines, by literal nature, invite us back into relationship with our natural worlds.

The remembering of our place within, as part of, the land we live on is, I think, I key medicine of our lives.

Somatic work, body led healing, opens the door to relational work within ourselves. Intentional use of plants resonate with the parts of ourselves and our connection to land along that spiral.

Internal landscapes have always been a reflection of the external landscapes. There’s no separation. We have to work from both directions to flow with change.

More thoughts on this coming through in this month’s edition of Seasonal Supports on the substance, to be posted in the next few days 🙏

Couple small group sessions beginning in June!

Both will be hosted outdoors so we can enjoy nature while moving and breathing. Read below for the offerings:

Mondays @ 12:15-1pm, beginning June 1 I am guiding a “Resilient Body” themed class. This is movement focused with the intention on supporting sensitive/hyper mobile/fluctuating in capacity systems. We will be emphasizing body awareness and gentle resilient building movement sequences designed in ways that are specifically supportive to those with *complexities* that don’t always respond well to traditional exercise classes. All welcome!

On Wednesdays 5:30-6:30pm I’m offering another round of Body + Breath. This is a gloriously restorative session that focuses on easing into ourselves mid-week and intentionally resetting. Movement is restorative in nature, and breath practices are too.

There is somatic based work infused into both sessions!

These sessions pair wonderfully together or as individuals, or mix and match as desired.

I am offering sliding scale rates for the summer season. Pay what you can, $10-30/class, or contact me for a series rate for one or both sessions.

Resilient Body is half full, with space for 3-5 more. Breath + Body is not far behind. Pre-reg is recommended and preferred!

Message me to save your spot!

This morning I got to workshop on one of my fav topics at the national conference.

The idea of presenting at my national organizations conference has been a bucket list item on my career path, and so much came full circle for me in the prep and facilitation of this session.

Thanks to all who attended, with open minds and a willingness to work with the information presented. It was a phenomenal morning!

💫 💛🙏
