The Oxymel Workshop as part of The Return to Connection series felt like a warm, loving and safe hug for the senses, for the heart and for the body🌻🌷🌿

I was so overjoyed to host and co-facilitate with Genn @lunalove.toronto who infused us with knowledge and the timeless wisdom of simplicity and reverence for the medicine of the plants that grow all around us….🌿💛🌻

In a big city like Toronto and in a fast world…we remembered that the only thing we can control is our Return to Nature in the simplest ways and make medicine with our own hands to support us and soothe us in times of great need🌿🌿🌿

My heart is filled with joy and gratitude for everyone who attended. It was so effortless, organic, cozy, intimate and fun….and it just makes me want to do more of it❤️

I love you all for Returning with me🙏🏻

We hold a tremendous amount of tension in our hips.

I love when people start dancing aka moving their hips with joy after they get off the table✨🌊🌿

Poor range of motion, impingement in the hip joint or hip rotator muscle tension are all linked to low back discomfort.

I love “dancing” with the hips to decompress, create space and invite the flow of life back into the body.

Ready to Return to dancing or just to feeling more open , fluid and weightless in your body? 💃🏻

Booking link in bio as always💜

With love,

Ioana who loves dancing☀️💃🏻🥳

Quite often LESS IS MORE.

I find that at the core of our being we crave simplicity.

Just a simple yet effective way to decompress the hips/low back connecting with upper spine and neck like a long wave 🌊

The body has an extraordinary capacity to lay its burdens down when it feels cradled.

I am so delighted to continue The Return to Connection Event Series-2nd Edition at The Return Space with a special guest and friend @lunalove.toronto 🌷🌿🪻🌹

Genn is a passionate, loving and inspiring herbalist who pours her whole being into her magical creations.

In the spirit of The Return Space and my deep love for Nature, connection, and plant medicine, I’ve invited Genn to share the beautiful practice of crafting our own Nature elixir—the oxymel. Together, we’ll explore the timeless wisdom of plants, awaken our senses, and rediscover the soulful satisfaction of creating something nourishing with our own hands. 🌼✨

An intimate evening filled with multi sensory surprises to awaken the senses, meaningful inspiration, herbal wisdom and your own Oxymel creation and recipes to take home💜🌿🌻

✨ Limited to just 10 participants to keep the experience intimate and personal.

DM to reserve your spot.

Ready to Return to Nature and Connection🌿?

✨Upper back tightness and neck discomfort need Global Love in my experience-which means assessing and working with all the structures connected with the area where the client experiences discomfort.

✨Emphasis exclusively only on the area the pain manifests and on muscle release is just one part of the big picture.

🔥Muscles attach to vertebrae, shoulder blades, spine and rib cage to name a few. Is everything moving properly? Pain is usually the result of something happening globally.

🌌Everything is interconnected. An ecosystem. A constellation.

🌊Returning all structures involved to fluidity through what I call Dynamic Relaxation in combination with muscle kneading has had a deeper impact on the levels of relief my clients experience

The keys to melting away stiffness, soreness and discomfort in the upper back/neck/shoulders are not force and continuous deep tissue techniques in my experience.

They are:

🌿Building trust with the Nervous System & The Whole Person
🌿Invite passive dynamic movement back into all the surrounding structures involved-what I call Dynamic Relaxation
🌿 Variety of pressures-gradually warming up the tissues.
🌿 Consistently adapting to what is needed throughout the entire session- the session is fluid

I Return to the Moon to regenerate in stillness and silence. I heal my muscles when I rest under the cloak of night.

The Return to The Moon blend brings the deep pain support your muscles and joints crave after strain.

The potent analgesic, anti-inflammatory properties of rosemary, bay laurel, lavender with a dash of bergamot for nervous system support soothe your tired muscles and speed up the regeneration process.

This is a custom blend which means that the essential oils used might differ depending on the time of your order. However it will always stay true to the essence of the Moon 🌙✨🌙

Ready to Return to the Moon?

Made by me with clean therapeutic essential oils sourced from Florihana (France) and sold as a therapy enhancement and post treatment balm at The Return Space.

My heart felt light and ready for those who were called to join me at The Return to Connection last night🌷🌹🌷

Right before they arrived I felt deep appreciation for the privilege to create beauty and heart spaces for people to feel nourished and refreshed.

The evening felt like spanding time with kindred spirts-like old friends. Like a sweet rose and flower essences dancing in the air🌷

Deeply touched and grateful for this First Edition of The Return to Connection in my own space and for those who attended with such presence, grace and love✨🌷🌹 @thereturnspace

I felt inspired to create a soirée, an evening of intimate togetherness. An invitation to being to quench the silent echoing thirst for real connection in times we are more distracted and “connected” than ever.

A longing we may not even consciously recognize, one that perhaps disguises itself as creative stagnation, restlessness, frustration or lack of direction.

My vision for the night is an invitation to reconnect with our humanness, to slow all the way down, to just be- together in presence, awaken the senses of the body through simple joys like tea, chocolate and other simple practices, and return to the inner intelligence held within the body.

The Evening will close with a Live Sound Therapy journey where participants will be invited to lie down, rest deeply and integrate the experience together.

Tentative Flow of the Evening:
* Arrival + Settling In
* Soul inquiry + reflection
* Sensory tasting practices
* Presence + grounding
* Live sound therapy
* Deep rest + integration

I envisioned this event as a gift to the community so money is not the main focus however if you feel called to offer something in return a “pay what you can” type of donation is welcome🎁

If you wish to attend and can’t afford to pay anything then please bring a prayer as a gift🙏🏻

Please DM me if you’re interested🌷🪻🌷

In the Garden I remember the cycles of life, the surrendering to what is and the peace of God.

I remember the wonder and the joy of my Soul, whole as it’s always been rising with the aromas of sweet flowers, sun kissed grass, rain washed soil and……I am home🌿

Return to The Garden evokes the relief your soul and nervous system feel when stepping into a Wild Garden.

The aromas of lavender, chamomile, neroli, flowers, jasmine or sweet marjoram soothe your frazzled nerves, encourage the production of feel good chemicals in the brain and offer emotional support.

This is a custom blend which means that the essential oils used might differ depending on the time of your order. However it will always stay true to the essence of the Garden🪻🌷🪻
