See what's included

Going Beyond Survival

Fatigue that rest desn’t fix. Body tension and/or pain that doesn’t respond to bodywork. Mood swings and numbness that talk therapy no longer touches. A fog that keeps you from feeling like yourself, and a Spirit that longs to come home.

Underlying Exhaustion

You often wake up tired and carry excess activation, or heaviness throughout the day, from being stuck on “on” or ”off.” You are seeking greater clarity, the ability to rest deeply, and the vitality that was yours years ago.

Tension & Pain

Your body holds stress patterns: tight jaw, neck shoulders, gut in knots, struggling to digest unintegrated traumatic memory, or residual emotion, and wanting more ease with boundaries to support your overall well-being.

Disconnection

Emotions feel muted, unpredictable or overwhelming. You miss your spark, purpose and connection with the Divine, as well as connecting with others with greater intimacy.

I'm ready to shift

Rediscover Regulation, Self Connection and Sacred Remembrance

Reclaim nervous system regulation, reconnect the forgotten parts of yourself, and return to your own Divine inner guidance that lasts beyond Bali.

Reconnect with Your Authentic Self

Remember the parts and inner rhythms that you abandoned to “keep going”. Sit with your shadow and welcome uncomfortable sensations for integration using breath, attention and movement .

Integration You Keep

Leave with a workbook and somatic practices to maintain wellness and resilience after you return home.

Nervous System Regulation

Learn proven somatic tools to reset your stress physiology, strengthen interoception, and move out of chronic fight/flight/fawn/freeze into feelings of greater safety and vitality.

Embodied Freedom

Reunite with your body’s emotional signals, inner wisdom, and something greater than yourself to guide life, while inviting nourishing, and honoring connections with others.

I want to RESET and rest

Begin your journey here

  • "It is hard describe how transformative this retreat was for me. I have been to dozens of yoga and somatic retreats. But none have altered me so deeply. The combination of somatic healing sessions, tools and practices are a healing experience everyone can benefit from. I’ll be returning. And they have deeply influenced my own medical practice too. I now believe that their approach is crucial to transforming our treatments of trauma and its deep psychological scars."

    ~ Dr. Molly Shorthouse, BScBMBS (Hons) FACRRM (AST Mental Health), Australia

  • "This somatic retreat was a beautiful experience, particularly because I am embodying the afterglow of this work. The very next day following the retreat, the integration started: I noticed my voice, my new internal ally, the part of me that now felt seen, held, and healed. This retreat didn’t just “relax” me for a few days, it changed my internal landscape. My behavior also shifted, evidence that my nervous system became more regulated. I started putting up healthy boundaries, and I am beginning to feel like I belong on this earth. I have realized that this place is my home too, and I must and should freely take up space as I desire."

    ~ Deborah W., Teacher, QC, Canada

  • "She is one of the few healing practitioners that I trust implicitly. I am so grateful to have come across her work and participate in her somatic retreats. I have added more tools to my somatic practice toolbox and am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to devote an entire weekend to this work. Thank you for your grace."

    ~Tara, Government worker, QC, Canada

  • "I came to this retreat not understanding much about the somatic piece within me, and so I arrived as an observer to this 4-day somatic retreat. Now sitting here on Sunday about to go back into real life, I am soothed, I have tools, and I have witnessed a leader lead, with compassion, with her mind and her heart, and her red lioness beauty. Simply through her teachings, her embodiment, her life and her leaps of courage, I have been inspired to go back out into this Wild West of a world, taking baby steps with all that I have learned and all of the faith, hope and light that she has inspired within this community."

    ~Andrea DiRocco, Fitness Instructor, ON Canada

  • "She is an amazing teacher, space holder and healer. I deeply enjoyed her teachings, wisdom shared, including challenging information, as well as helpful practices. Her somatic training and retreat really enriched me and made me stronger to be able to be of better service towards myself, my kids and clients. I feel so much gratitude that I was able to learn from you!"

    ~ Tiziana Rompelberg, Massage Therapist, QC, Canada

  • "I attended her somatic retreat, which was full of helpful practices. It was wonderful to come together in such a group of kindred spirits to learn from a real human who has walked her own path."

    ~Julie Desmarais, Psychotherapist, ON Canada

  • "Thank you so much for this beautiful experience. As I look back, I am struck with so much healing and knowledge, I sit on the plane now with my back feeling strong and this existential pain I carried dissipating. Thank you for believing that I can heal. That belief alone really brings me to tears. The connection I felt last week re-installed a sense of magic in the world that was lost on me – this child like wonder of not knowing what one can expect behind every corner."

    ~Graham Fortgang, Photographer & Entrepreneur, NY USA

  • "What a powerful energy you hold. I am so grateful for what you did for me, I felt such a release. My back pain that has been with me for decades is gone. Thank you for showing me the link between mind and body. The somatic training on the retreat taught me so much about mind body awareness. The examples and practical training was perfect. The way you treated and released the trauma I experienced at birth has shifted me to another level. Your ability to hold space and intuit what needs to be addressed is very strong. You are confident, well informed, yet also calm and humble. Thank you so much!”

    ~Jan, Engineer, Capetown, South Africa

Monthly Somatic Sundays Workshop & One-on-One Somatic Sessions in Ubud

Please join us to explore different trauma integration themes each month using somatic tools and exercises that support nervous system regulation, reconnection with gut knowing, release of tension and underlying exhaustion, as well as symptoms arising from dysregulation of our sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.

This work also invites the body to become a greater place of safety, so that our spirit’s can communicate with and inform them more easily.

The workshop will include a Somatic Experiencing demonstration session with a workshop volunteer (they are potent! ) , to assist with the integration of "stuckness" or "activation" from previous thwarted fight/flight/freeze/fawn responses. 😡🏃‍♀️🥶 They are not cathartic, and offer an applied understanding of how our stress physiology functions and can discharge.

We will end with a resourcing guided somatic integration to support our nervous systems to regulate, and our spirits to remember their home in our bodies.

Please contact Jaya via WhatsApp for more info and/or to register: +1 (613) 866-7091

You may contact her at the same number for one-on-one somatic sessions, and receive more info about them here.

  • We will have staff with decades of experience in this area that will be available to sit with you to provide co-regulation and emotional support. If these potential triggers arise from long-standing issues, please read the above acknowledgement and ensure that you have access to your ongoing therapist. Each participant will need to be mentally and emotionally stable enough in daily life in order to attend.

  • We do not encourage or invite cathartic release, and are also boundaried in our sharing within the group. Participants do not have to participate in activities if they are feeling overwhelmed, and are welcome to stay within their own “window or tolerance.” Everything that is shared in the group will be confidential. Staff has decades of experience holding this work and related containers.

  • Yes, we will be providing brunch, a midday snack, and dinner each day from healthy, locally sourced, vegetarian (vegan option) ingredients, all cooked by our local, private chef. We aim to stay light, healthy and nimble in our bodies, with the food provided.
