Transform with Somatic Tools: Heal Yourself and Help Others!!!

Join my course, Transform with Somatic Tools, and deepen your understanding of how our bodies release stored emotions and trauma. As an Integrative Somatic Therapy Practice student, I've seen firsthand the power of these tools to bring healing and relief.

In light of the ongoing crisis in Palestine, I feel compelled to take action. The world can often feel broken and hopeless, but together, we can make a difference. To support a family escaping the horrors in Rafah, I am donating a portion of the proceeds from this course. So far, I've contributed $100 to this cause, and with your help, we can do even more.

Course Details:

Start Date: May 26
What You'll Learn: Techniques to regulate your nervous system and release stored emotion and pain using simple, at-home somatic tools.
What's Included:
Comprehensive somatic tools and movements.
Weekly Zoom calls (recorded and sent to you for convenience).
Take this opportunity to transform your own life while contributing to a greater cause.
See all the details here and join us in making a positive impact.

Enroll today and be a part of the change! https://46e18ce0-fec8-457c-a1ce-12bab5b467a1.paylinks.godaddy.com/somatictools

www.calmcabana.com is where you can book your Complimentary Integrative Somatic Therapy session with me while I am in my student practicum.
This therapy guides you to drop back into your own body and facilitates the release of held emotions that results in pain.
It is a beautiful and simple therapy and I encourage you to come and experience it for yourself. For me, it has helped quiet the busy voices in my head that create anxiety and has almost completely erased awful chronic pain that I've been fighting to get diagnosed for 25 years.

Calm Cabana Classes & sessions that include talk therapy, massage, breathwork, yoga and somatic tools to create deep long lasting healing

We repress so much of our experiences which get stored in our bodies. Illness, exhaustion and chronic pain are all repressed emotion in our bodies.
Underneath all pain is trapped emotions.
Integrative Somatic Therapy Practice facilitates the release of these emotions and allows our body to balance and heal itself from the inside out.
I am a student practitioner of this Somatic therapy and I have a complimentary appointment available April 23 at 1 PM.
It can be online or in person in North Vancouver.
Please comment below if you'd like to take it. It is between an hour and an hour and a half.

Do you keep hearing the buzz word "Somatics?"
Somatic Workout
Somatic Therapy.....

Well the good news is it's not new, and it's based in the science of how our mind and body are connected.
Doctors, counsellors, therapists, chiropractors are now integrating the study and practice of Somatics.

It's been called the missing link.
Example; you keep going to therapy, but have hit a plateau. It can be because talk therapy only allows what you're conscious of to come forward.
Pairing it with Somatic therapy, you can regulate, get yourself out of anxiety, flight, fight, freeze, fawn state, to access deeper parts of your subconscious that want to heal and release past emotions.

I'm thrilled to announce that I'm now a Student Practitioner of Integrative Somatic Therapy, and I can't wait to extend this opportunity to each and every one of you!

I'm offering FREE SESSIONS to help us all embark on a journey of healing.

Book a free session in person or online here: www.calmcabana.com

Integrative Somatic Therapy focuses on resetting our bodies to their natural, optimal state, enhancing our ability to navigate life's challenges with grace. This approach complements other modalities such as massage and chiropractic care, amplifying their effects and promoting deeper healing.

My current chiropractor is delving into the impact of somatic therapy, observing that those who incorporate it into their treatment plans not only recover faster but also experience sustained healing benefits.

My availability for sessions is currently on Mondays and Tuesdays starting April 8th. Slots for April are already booking up, so act fast to secure your spot! You can easily schedule your free session on my website:
www.calmcabana.com

Remember, if Integrative Somatic Therapy isn't quite your cup of tea, no worries at all!

Feel free to pass along this offer to anyone who might benefit. Integrative Somatic Therapy has shown remarkable efficacy in relieving chronic pain, supporting postpartum recovery, and addressing general feelings of unwellness when traditional medical approaches fall short.
Let's embark on this journey to holistic well-being together! ❤️❤️

Exciting news!

I'm currently training to become an Integrative Somatic Therapy Practitioner, and I'm looking for individuals interested in experiencing the transformative power of somatics firsthand.

To kick things off, I'm offering free initial sessions.

Sessions will be available both in-person in Lynn Valley and online, starting April 8th, on Mondays and Tuesdays. You can easily book your session through my website: www.calmcabana.com

While the term "therapy" might sound elaborate, integrative somatic therapy is actually a straightforward yet profoundly impactful practice. Having personally experienced its benefits, I can attest to its life-changing potential.

Picture this: resetting your entire body and nervous system—emotionally, physically, and mentally—back to its optimal state. Experience relief from pain, anxiety, inflammation, weight gain, and more.

Somatic therapy enhances the effectiveness of your massage, chiropractic care, and counseling sessions. By arriving in a state of regulation, your mind and body become more receptive to the healing modalities provided, maximizing their benefits.

If you're ready to embark on this journey of transformation, book your session today.

I am so excited to begin working with you to create a deeper understanding of your own wellness and healing.

Anxiety takes your sparkle and convinces you that you're under attack.
I am now in control of her through somatic practices, but she's always lurking nearby.
I wrote this poem to bring words to my Anxiety.
Shining a light on her, she is less powerful:

A crown of heaviness,
Crushing my third eye,
Closed off from my knowing,
My body is weary.
A lost hiker,
Collapsing under the noise,
Pain shooting through my skull,
I ache for me.

In my Somatic Training this weekend, we got to do one-on-one Somatic Therapy sessions and when returning back to our group ZOOM class we could INSTANTLY tell who was the receiver of the therapy just by looking at each other
We were rosy cheeked, pink glow, smiling, clear eyed.
It was so so beautiful.
April 7 I will be able to begin practicing as a student of Integrative Somatic Therapy.
Sparkles and Goosebumps over here.

Heads up
The only part if the super bowl i watch is on in minutes
You’re welcome !!!

My white tree story.

I was always the girl who had a real tree.
The hunt, the smell of fresh pine needles..
Then my baby Jack was born in December.
We had our real tree that year and we were now a family of four.

Our little boy struggled for his first five years of life. September would hit and he would catch everyone’s head cold.

The problem was for him it meant intense asthma attacks resulting in hospital stays for the Fall and Winter.
They were scary times with a few 911 calls.

The hospital stays including worrying if my little boy was okay for days on end, hooked up to machines that monitored how much oxygen was in that little body and beeping furiously when it lowered.

I was in survival mode for most of those years.

One Christmas season my bestie came from Australia to visit.
Jack and I were living in the hospital and I missed her first few days here.

So on discharge, running on no sleep, I decided to go straight to Superstore.

There was Jack and I in our PJ’s, sleep and food deprived.
We bought all the fun Christmas junk food, from egg nog to themed cereals, and there, standing in the middle of an aisle was a sparkly white Christmas tree

The last one in the store. Yup, the floor model.
No box. No price tag.

And something in both of us decided immediately that the tree was ours.

We threw it across our full shopping cart, making it so we could barely fit down an aisle and brought it home.

I realized this tree allowed for one less thing to worry about at Christmas time.
If we were in hospital and constantly monitoring Jack, then we didn’t have to water this tree or even worry about when to go pick up a real tree.

Now, my kids say this is the only tree they want.
And the best part is it can go up early and stay up far past Christmas.

It lights up our room and reminds me of the very hard early days of motherhood.
They were rough, and so very scary.

And those days taught me who my people were.
The ones who showed up
The ones who understood when I disappeared
And through my little Jack I’ve met moms who have become my best friends.

He’s taught me a lot of hard lessons and all of the important ones.

Merry Christmas season everyone.
And to any parents spending their holidays in hosptial, I see you and am hugging you.
Make sure you eat, sleep when you can and don’t worry about the tree. I bought a lot of presents from a hospital bed on Amazon in the middle of the night.

I will not alter my face for anti-aging.
The term anti-aging alone is offensive.
Aren’t we wanting to age?
Isn’t it a fu***ng blessing to live this life?
Too many are taken early, why the f**k are we worrying about wrinkles and bags under our eyes. Instead why aren’t we taking life by the reins and living it to its fullest, my laugh lines are beautiful, they document incredible moments in my life.
When you choose to alter yourself, aren’t you just buying into the bu****it?
If we all chose not to get Botox or whatever’s out there (again I don’t even know cause I don’t use it)
then we would know what a normal 43, 45, 50, 55-year-old looks like and we’d be celebrating it instead of comparing ourselves. Don’t waste your beautiful time and money on s**t that doesn’t matter

We had 9 people in Halloween 80’s Aerobics PIYO class today and of course I forgot to take a photo !!!
There was neon, side ponytails, and a lot of sweat and laughter.
6 in person and 3 online!⭐️⭐️⭐️
10 AM Monday’s
7 PM Wednesday’s

She is strong. She looks inward for joy. Inward for clarity. She continues to learn how she sees the world, what she needs, and what she desires. She is a lifelong learner and lover. She is love. 💫💫💫

Today I’m sending love to myself. 🌸🌸🌸
reminded me today to make my happy list- what fuels me?
So I’ve been blasting beyonce and just finished Robin Arzon’s badass Beyonce spin class
I’m reminded of my power
I’m reminded that my energy is mine alone
And that I love myself first before all others.
Happy V Day to me.

I was terrified to get my booster after being so ill after Moderna last time!
So I booked to go at the same time as my kid’s 2 nd vaccine so I couldn’t chicken out!
Other than not sleeping all that well, I’ve woken up feeling ok!
As we sat in the chairs waiting we began to dream a bit more again
Dreaming of where we will go now that the kid’s won’t have to quarantine after a trip.
So far the dream is driving a camper van though the hills of Sedona.
Gawd I love my kiddos and hubs
Adventuring will commence again shortly

Can’t wait to begin Jan 31
Link in my bio!💫💫💫
A chance to find more calm and stability during this crazy time. Learn simple grounding techniques you can do anywhere as well as enjoy grounding movement classes and more.

Happy New Years Day
We hit the snowy beach to begin 2022!
Our focus remains:
Being present
Being creative
Being outdoors
Being intentional with how we spend this beautiful life

Instead of resolutions on what you want to change, or what’s wrong with me? ......
What if you ask yourself:
What’s right with me?
What do I love about myself?
What do I love about my life?
Who adds to my glow?
Who lifts me up?
What works for me?
What inspires me?
What excites me?
And do those small steps each day to continue to fill yourself up, fill your mind and body with a glow that shines bright.
Happy New Year, you got this🌟🌟🌟
