The lovely Melody talks with us about her journey with anxiety and depression and how Yoga Therapy helped her to feel safe in her body.

Melody is a Yoga teacher, yoga therapist, massage practitioner, foodie, nature enthusiast, wild dancer, wave rider, integrative medicine student, vocal explorer, Ariel silk acrobat, and bold lover of life.

Melody and I met in Tofino, BC playing in the water on our surfboards. We shared common interests and soon realized we were healing similar challenges. We have watched each other grow from our first yoga classes and trainings.

Now Melody is in school to become a TCM and she is also a Yoga Therapist and Massage Practitioner. She infuses everything that she learns into her self-practice and the way she walks through life. Her classes and workshops are full of wisdom and playfulness.

Sophia Treyger: Go from Pleaser to Pleasure

Sophia Treyger invites us women to go from a pleaser to pleasure. She has dedicated her life to helping women go from being a pleaser and giving your power away to experiencing pleasure in life.

This is such a big topic I hear women talk about, how we take care and give to everyone else before ourselves.

We talk about how we start to honor ourselves first, create powerful boundaries to take care of our body, heart, mind and soul and find pleasure by feeling our bodies, emotions and desires.

We touched on so many hard to talk about places that women face day to day around our sexuality, our emotions and how to move through the world feeling a deep sense of pleasure.

Sophia has lovingly gifted us a few things to support our movement into more of a pleasure orientated life.

Arkady Brown: Body Image and The Vulva Art Project

Arkady talks with us about the body image and the beauty of our vulvas by sharing her project, The Vulva Art Project, with us.

We met through a mutual friend and one day she called me and said she had this project. When she told me about it, I had a full YES! this needs to be done.

Arkady realized through her work, as a Fine Art Boudoir Photographer, she kept witnessing the shame that women have around their bodies. She dug deeper and found that a lot of shame is held in your most sacred part of our body, the part of our body that makes us women, our vulvas.

Arkady has had her own issues with body image shaming, struggled with eating disorders and feels like this is a part of her own healing process.

I have been working with the project and the healing that is happening for the women involved in this project is profound and amazing!

We please check out and donate to this amazing project!!!
