Sacred Reconnection Wellness Services

Sacred Reconnection Wellness Services Wellness professional with 15 yrs of experience, blending Indigenous teachings and Western practices.

Offering holistic wellness services including psychotherapy, consultation, and classes like, Natural Rhythms to help you reconnect to all your relations. I’ve spent the last 15 years in the wellness industry, and I created this business to align more closely with my personal values and the services I offer. As a woman with mixed ancestry, I’m deeply passionate about weaving a “two-eyed seeing” app

roach into all of my work—this means blending Indigenous teachings with the best of Western practices to create a holistic experience for everyone I work with. One of the ways I do this is through my Natural Rhythms class, a unique offering that combines mindful, rhythmic movement to help participants release limiting beliefs, reconnect with their true selves, their roots, and the world around them. As a Registered Psychotherapist and Registered Marriage and Family Therapist (Supervisor Qualifying), I offer therapy services for individuals, couples, and families, as well as supervision/consultation for other helping professionals, particularly those interested in trauma-informed care with Indigenous communities. I’m passionate about teaching decolonization through exploring worldview differences and the challenges that arise from them. Coming soon, I’ll be offering holistic, trauma-informed retreats that provide a safe, healing, space for people to disconnect in natural settings and reconnect with themselves and "all their relations" in a deeper, more meaningful way. When I’m not working, I’m a proud mom to two amazing children, who continue to inspire me. I share a home in a beautiful mountain town with my partner. We love spending time outdoors, exploring new places, and going on adventures together, which often means living out of our camper for long periods at a time! We love disconnecting from the busyness of life and losing ourselves in nature!

**FROM WHERE I STAND**

Every once in a while, I want to step out from behind the professional and share a little more of what lives underneath.

*From Where I Stand* is a space for reflection, stories, teachings, people who have shaped me, and the things I’m still learning along the way.

It’s a chance for you to get to know the person behind Sacred Reconnections a little more— just another human being who is continually listening, questioning, making mistakes, growing, and finding her way.

Because where we stand shapes what we see. And sometimes, sharing where we stand gives someone else permission to pause and wonder about where they are standing, too.

For this month, I am reflecting on a special connection. Some people enter our lives and leave an imprint so meaningful that it becomes difficult to put into words what they have meant to us.

Louise is one of those people for me.

As I begin this series of "From Where I Stand" reflections, it feels right that Louise is where I begin.

In this post, I want to share about the sacred connections that show up in our lives and just a little bit of the ways this remarkable woman has shown up in mine, some of the things she taught me without always realizing she was teaching, and some of the ways her presence continues to shape my world.

This isn’t really a story about one person.

It’s a story about what happens when we allow ourselves to be changed by the people who cross our paths.

And this is where I stand because of Louise.

Foraging Friday: Golden Rod!

Such a pretty flower! I have read that it blooms about 6 weeks before the first frost...(not that we want to think about that right now...😅). Since it is a late bloomer, it is a vital source of sustenance for the pollinators.

From what I understand, the benefits of this beauty include:

Eases allergies/clear sinuses
Flushes the kidneys and bladder (careful not to have too much as it is a diuretic)
Soothes skin/aches (in a salve form)

Note: Always be sure to understand your own health conditions and ensure any medicine you choose works for your body!

This is another one I will make into a tea. I just hang it to dry and then put into a jar for storage.

What I Wish We Talked About More: The power of using our voices

How often do we hold back?
How many of us were taught, in ways both subtle and not so subtle, that our voices aren't
important, aren't worthy, or aren't enough?
Have you ever wondered why?
Who benefits from our silence?
The simple act of using our voice can be an act of healing and resistance.

And it isn't only the words we have to share. There is something powerful that happens in our bodies when we allow ourselves to make sound—to sing, hum, speak, laugh, cry, or even yell in
a way that doesn't cause harm to another.

One of the beautiful elders I have had the honour of learning from, Tina Armstrong, taught me about the Seven Natural Ways to Heal. One of these is using our voice to help "move our
waters."

Whether through singing, talking, humming, or expressing something that has been held inside, our voices create vibration and movement within our bodies (our bodies made up of high
percentage of water). Making sounds can help us release what we have been holding.

There is also growing research exploring the relationship between practices such as humming and singing, the vagus nerve, and our nervous system. These practices may support the body's
parasympathetic response—the part of our nervous system associated with settling, rest and restoration.

But there is another piece of using our voices that feels just as important to me: Your voice carries knowledge that no one else carries in exactly the same way. Each of us experiences the world through our own unique relationships, histories, teachings and
ways of seeing.

We can get so caught up in trying to fit in that we forget:
Who you are is meant to be different.
The way you see the world matters.
The stories you carry matter.
The things you have learned matter.

Not everyone will resonate with what you have to say—and that's okay. Someone else's lack of resonance doesn't make your experience, your knowledge or your voice any less valuable.
And I don't mean that everything that comes into our minds needs to be said.

Using our voices also asks us to develop discernment:
When is the right time?
Where is the right place?
Who needs to hear this?
And when might silence be the wiser choice?
Perhaps finding our voice isn't about speaking more.
Perhaps it's about becoming more intentional about when we choose to speak—and having the courage to let ourselves be heard when it matters.

What is something your voice has been waiting to say?

P.S. Thanks to Nichole Davey for all her behind the scenes work bringing these teachings to life!

Foraging Friday!!

I am sure you have seen these around. They often go by the name of Burdock or Curly Docks...I learned about them on a medicine walk with Neepsee in Saskatchewan a couple years ago. Now I see them everywhere! They are all over my property and in the area.

There is a little black seed surrounded by a hull or husk...and we grind it up and use this part to make flour! How cool is that? So I will give that a try this weekend and let you know how it goes!!

Has anyone ever tried it? What should I bake? Thinking about muffins...😋
