Many years ago one of my mentors, and world’s leading minds, labelled me a Midwife of Embodied Liberation and a Mother of Creating + Sustaining Deeper Connection to Self and Other — so I have owned these titles ever since.

Hello, I’m Zoey

For almost two decades I have been holding space for humans of all forms to liberate their wellbeing and reclaim their deepest Self as a Wellness Mentor, Trauma-Informed Transformational Facilitator, Somatic Healer, Embodiment Guide, Holistic Doula, Yoga & Meditation Teacher and Certified Coach. 

I’ve travelled the world studying in auditoriums, studios, forests, and on the couches of some of the worlds leading minds. I’ve co-taught international trainings and transformational immersions ranging from Mind-Body Liberation, Embodied Leadership, Yoga Anatomy, Subtle Anatomy, Yoga Nidra, Prenatal Yoga, Holistic Wellness, Empowered Birth + Fourth Trimester, Menstrual Wisdom, Healing the Feminine Wound, Attuned Parenting, Trauma Healing, Nervous System Health, Conscious Relationship & Non-Violent/Compassionate Communication.

Many years ago, I made a huge pivot in my personal and professional life after I woke up to the insidious, and life-long impacts of trauma, grief, and disease when it’s not honoured, and fully processed at the level of the body. Since this time I erupted into a spontaneous rebellion, and innately forged ways to connect the gaps that I was experiencing deep inside myself, my relationships, my wellness and how I was experiencing my life.

It was the loss of love, faith, health and my sense of Self that initiated my remembrance as a whole, powerful and sovereign woman that deserves to stay curious, open, resourceful, self-loving and compassionate.

If it wasn’t for this profound journey into the underworld, and the mind-body parallels, and resources that I found within and outside of myself at this time, I wouldn’t be standing where I am today.

If it weren’t for this extremely challenging time in my life, I wouldn’t be showing up the way that I do now with this radical recognition that the majority of what we seek is born through the bravery, and mastery of unlearning, deprogramming and unfolding beyond the mind.

So, I’m here now — here to help you remember. Here to bridge the gap between your body and mind, and create spaces for you to forge an embodied and dynamic relationship with the intersection of science, Spirit, ancient technologies, philosophy and your own unique human experience, so that you can be your own medicine and walk this life with more agility, presence, confidence and readiness to be with, and feel into the wide range of experiences of this human life without loosing your centre point.

In essence, I’m committed to sharing all of what I’ve learned through the beauty and mess of my own life with trauma-informed somatic integrity, so that you can initiate yourself into your own homecoming whenever you are ready.

 

My dream for you — and for us all — is that we feel anchored in our bodies, untethered in our powers, and more centred during the storms.

I’m here to….

Celebrate the beauty and mess of this life with you in ritual and ceremony…

Have the big, raw and necessary conversations with you that are void of BS

Help you feel more alive in your body, empowered by your story, and anchored in your inner authority...

Help you resource yourself, so that you can establish healthy boundaries and body-mind coherence…

Support your nervous system to regulate, so that you can feel more safe and confident when sharing your truth and standing up for what you believe...

Create immersive experiences for you to remember your child-like awe and playfulness

Encourage what I believe to be the essential unfolding of our times through de-conditioning, and reigniting the feminine principal as key threads in our lives. 

Remind you that you’re not broken, and that your current state of being is not a life sentence — although I know how easy it is to feel that way sometimes. 

Help you rewire survival patterns that once lead to self-abandonment, so that you can reclaim yourSelf in all facets of your life

Help you disarm your body and heart, so that you can experience richer levels of intimacy and deeper connections to Self and others

Support, empower and resource you at any stage of motherhood — from pregnancy, through the initiation of birth and the neverending journey after that

Help you heal your trauma, and rewire your survival mechanisms, so that you can forge A New Way — A New Way that allows you to feel more sovereign, whole and free to be all of who you are.

AS A MIDWIFE OF EXPANSION (THAT ALSO LEANS INTO THE GIFTS OF CONTRACTION)

"I value the fine balance of mastery and the sanctity of non-sense and play

ESPECIALLY IN THE HUSTLING CULTURES THAT BREED ON DISCONNECT, CONFORMITY, AND THE TENSE STATES OF OVERWHELM.  

Aside from sharing space with humans of all forms, these days you can find me in the rain-soaked mountains of Squamish BC — cooking up a storm, savouring these precious years nursing my young, or out chasing the sun with a bunch of unapologetic bare bums.

I’m an eternally curious rebel that loves to anchor my experiences through movement, breath work and the bliss of a poetic heart. I treasure real talk, and the powerful resources I have come across over the years that sustainably activate a state of living in greater connection, ease and flow.

Let’s cheers to the soft mercy of the forest floor, passionately cussing on our couches with books stained in tea, and collectively having the willingness to be cozied up breastfeeding the cuteness of our young, as we get tumbled and humbled time and time again — and know that that is completely okay (no matter what the world tells us).

Like you, I’m here to make the most out of this wildly precious life, embrace all of who I am, love courageously and stand up for what I believe…

I’m so excited and honoured to have you here.
