Hi, I’m Natasha…”The impatient therapist”
Since birth we’ve been trying to survive and with that comes the safety strategies, we need to make that happen. Because we’re human, and women, it must be mental to withstand the mighty elements we’re up against, nature and man. Yet when we live too deeply in that ‘mental’ space, we slip into our masculine energy, fighting against our own nature. And when we’re out of alignment with nature, we find ourselves in dis-ease.
So how do we balance survival’s demands with the call to return to our true essence? How do we straddle both worlds?
The answer lies in operating at every level of our being simultaneously—while surrendering to something greater than our human selves. A higher mind. A divine source. A force of pure benevolence.
But for so many of us, trust doesn’t come easily. If you’ve never felt truly protected, the idea of letting go can feel foreign. To believe you are inherently loved, simply for existing—to feel safe enough to surrender—requires faith. And that’s why we’re here: to walk this path together.
Whether you’re facing divorce, heartbreak, illness, career loss, the shadows of unfulfilled motherhood, the ache of infertility, or the weight of loneliness—we’ve been there too. And we’re here to remind you: Before you can let go, you must first feel held.
This is the purpose of our community. We offer a sacred container—one woven with love and discipline, anchored in neuroscience, the healing power of psychedelics, and grounded spirituality.
You are invited to explore our programs. See what calls to you. You don’t have to do this alone."**
Hi, I’m Lisa… “the Realist”
The Story That Chose Me
Like so many of us, my first chapters were marked by extremes - the destructive chaos of rage existing alongside deep, sustaining love. I learned endurance before I knew the word, surviving storms that shaped me far too young while still reaching for growth and ways to move forward. And, deep in my bones I knew, there was a better way to live.
That duality remains part of me today: the instinct to prepare for disaster coexisting with an unshakable belief in healing. It explains why I value stability yet admire boldness, why transformation both attracts and frightens me.
But here's what I've learned in the rewriting:
- Chaos only gets the last word if I let it
- My resilience is more than survival - it's the foundation for thriving
- Boundaries create necessary space for both love and wisdom to flourish
That knowing became my compass. It led me through my own healing, out of the corporate world (focused on a career in Food Science and Nutrition), and into the sacred work of raising my daughters and tending to my family. But the call to go deeper kept whispering—until I couldn’t ignore it.
I returned to school, earning my Master’s in Counselling Psychology and becoming a Registered Psychotherapist (RP), but my real education came from weaving together two truths:
Healing isn’t just mental—it lives in the body, in the way we move through the world.
Our past doesn’t define us—it shows us the alchemy of turning pain into power.
My toolbox grew—neuroscience, psychedelic-assisted therapy, spirituality, yoga—but the heart of my work stayed the same: You don’t have to stay where life first put you.
Today, I guide women through the territories I’ve mapped myself:
Rewiring trauma with Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) and Integrated Attachment Theory
Harnessing the transformative power of psychedelic medicine to dissolve old narratives and access profound self-compassion
Reclaiming wholeness through Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Clinical Hypnosis
Anchoring transformation in body wisdom and metaphysical sciences
This isn’t theory. It’s the path that carried me—and our incredible clients—from survival to a life we don’t need to escape from.
Hi, I’m SOnia…“The Optimist”
The Unexpected Path to Healing
For over 25 years, Sonia stood comfortably in her white lab coat, peering through microscopes at a world most never see. With a degree in Microbiology from the University of Guelph and a thriving career, she had every reason to feel content. Yet life had a different blueprint waiting.
That subtle internal shift—the kind you can't name but can't ignore—started quietly rearranging her world. Where others might have dismissed it, Sonia did something radical: she followed the curiosity.
What began as a whisper led her to trade petri dishes for psychotherapy textbooks, earning her Master's in Counselling Psychology and becoming a Registered Psychotherapist (RPQ). But her scientific mind didn't disappear—it evolved.
The Alchemy of Science and Spirit
Her unique path gifted her with:
A microbiologist's precision for the body's intricate systems
A neuroscience toolkit (EMDR, IFS, Deep Brain Reorienting, Relational-Somatic Therapy) to rewire trauma
Psychedelic medicine training at Colorado's Centre for Medicinal Mindfulness, where she learned to guide these powerful journeys safely
Today in Toronto, this mother of three bridges worlds:
🔬 The measurable science of how our nervous system stores trauma
💫 The sacred art of helping bodies remember their way back to harmony
Because sometimes healing isn't about fixing what's broken—but awakening what was always whole.
