The world is… a lot right now.

And sometimes talking helps.
Sometimes it doesn’t.

Starting in May, I’ll be offering in-person sessions in a new space above the Cameron House - a big, open room where therapy can be more than just sitting across from each other.

We can talk.
We can move.
We can get mad about it.
We can slow things down and listen to what your body’s been holding.

Reach out if this feels like something you need.
🖤

Finding mental balance can be a tireless pursuit; and it can feel exhausting. When you take a moment to recharge, ensure that you are honouring yourself through your journey, in whatever way feels good for you - there are no rules!

For anyone looking for support, know that I'd be honoured to walk alongside of you 🌸

✨ Exciting news to share! ✨ I am still in awe and trying to process all that has happened, but I really wanted to share this moment... our Chorus of Courage album is done!!

🎶 Chorus of Courage 🎶 has been a passion project close to my heart for the past few years, and this week, we wrapped up our second recording session with our allies!! 🎙️🎵 I am beyond honoured to have worked alongside our incredible allies at the @thebathousekingston - @cheecheelia , @juliantaylormusic , @grgritt , @moonfruitsmusic , and @thebarrbrothers - you are all amazing ✨🙌✨!

This project is truly something special, with a few moving parts like a retreat, embodied practices, conversations/a call and response through song, and each part has incredible depth of courage, love, and meaning. 🌟 The album we have created is a testament to the powerful journey and process we have all committed to, and I cannot wait to share it with all of you! 🎶

A huge thank you for @sarahmacdougallmusic for her beautiful guidance and amazing production - you created an amazing musical landscape that captures the depth of the stories these songs hold!

The album also includes @alyshabrilla @joninehrita @marcia_chum_gibbons @mirror_mirroir and myself.

Walking alongside our storytellers and all the talented individuals involved in this project has been a privilege beyond words. The bravery, vulnerability, and strength that each person has brought to Chorus of Courage is truly mind-blowing. I am forever grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this incredible venture. 🙏🌈

Stay tuned for more information coming soon! Keep your eyes peeled for updates for a transformative musical experience that I hope will touch your soul. ❤️🎶✨

A huge thank you to the @canada.council for allowing us to bring this vision to fruition 🙏

This capture, and so many others that I saw today, made my heart swell, and my eyes tear up ❤️

I have had the privilege of working on a very powerful project, with very special people, including this amazing talented soul, @jensquiresphotographer

Chorus of Courage is a collaborative project that entails quite a few moving parts, including a beautiful retreat that happened this summer at @thelimberlostforest ! We came together as a family, and we created a space to explore some of the most difficult experiences one can imagine - and we did it with love, music, silence, acceptance, guidance, connection, and movement - hand in hand.

I had no doubt Jen's talent as a photographer, and depth and sensitivity as a person would be a gift to this project, and after receiving our yet to be released photos, I'm in awe of her, again.

Thank you @jeni_glass for being part of the heart and soul of #chorusofcourage

Stay tuned for more information on Chorus of Courage! An album, and emotional conversation through music is in development ✨✨✨

🌿✨ Exciting News to Share! ✨🌿

I am thrilled to share that I have launched my business and private practice as a psychotherapist, Embodied Explorations! It's a heartfelt endeavor that allows me to do what I am truly passionate about: walk alongside individuals as they explore and cultivate a deep connection and language with their bodies and emotions.

As some of you might know, my journey has led me to explore and discover the profound impact of moving through experiences by leaning in and allowing the embodied experience to unfold. I use a trauma-focussed, bottom up and top-down approach that integrates various modalities, based on the unique needs of each person. Breaking habitual patterns and responses can help us delve into the depths of our being and uncover many parts of ourselves wanting (and maybe needing) to be expressed.

It would mean the world to me if you could take a moment to visit my website at www.embodiedexplorations.ca (link in bio). You'll find more about my approach, the services I offer, and some of the upcoming projects in development that I will be announcing shortly.

I am happy to announce that I am now accepting new clients. If you or someone you know is ready to explore the depths of their emotions, connect with their bodies, and embark on a transformative adventure, please don't hesitate to reach out and schedule a session.

Wishing you all love, joy, and a deep connection with your own beautiful selves.

Warmest regards,
Cindy

Sometimes, we hide the parts that need most to be seen. But leaning in also means allowing ourselves to be, as we are, without the desire to shift or change; a moment of just simple acceptance of the self and moment. What parts of yourself do you tend to hide? #reflection #unveil #embodiment #being #be #self #selfacceptance #somatic #allofyou #beseen #beheard #embodiedexplorations by @embodiedexplorations

This years’ campaign UNITE! Activism to End Violence against Women & Girls will aim to mobilize all society to become activists for the prevention of violence against women, to stand in solidarity with women’s rights activists and to support feminist movements around the world to resist the rollback on women’s rights and calling for a world free from VAWG. #vaw #womensrightsarehumanrights #endviolence #womenandchildren #metoo #metoomovement #embodiedexplorations by @embodiedexplorations

Taking space to feel the parts of yourself that you had to bury long ago takes tremendous strength and courage.
