Sound Bath with Jordan Scott and Jilda Farias

6/14/2023
In today's episode, we talk about sound, vibration, healing, and sound baths Jordan Scott and Jilda Farias. Bio: Jordan Scott, Director of the Estate of Health, Jordan Scott is a Holistic Health Practitioner, specializing in the spiritual and energetic healing arts of Reiki, Shamanism and Vibrational Healing. She has been exploring sound as a modality of healing since her first yoga teacher training in 2012 using mantra, breath and toning to create specific effects in the body, mind and energy system. Her connection to shamanism furthered her discovery of sound and song as a powerful healing tool, and has been cultivating the power of her own voice for over a decade. She studied Holistic Resonance Healing in 2019 which expanded her understanding of the healing potential of conscious vibration. She offers public and private sound bathing sessions and integrates sound therapy into all of her treatments. She is also a Reflexologist and Holistic Health Counsellor. Jordan created Estate of Health, a holistic wellness center and yoga studio in 2019 with her mother, Heather Scott, where she has drawn together several gifted practitioners and teachers to facilitate healing and growth for the community. Connection to nature and the healing potential within all of us continues to guide her on her path of learning, sharing and loving! https://estateofhealth.ca/ https://www.facebook.com/EstateofHealth Jilda Farias Classically trained vocalist, Jilda Farias, has been a performer since birth, always putting on a show whenever and wherever encouraged. This innate interest led to many opportunities studying the performing arts throughout adolescence and early adulthood; from joining community theater groups performing musical theater classics and entertaining folks with her favourite songs in retirement communities to later on competing in music festivals and performing roles in operas in a range of different languages, her love of storytelling has only deepened with experience. Since graduating in 2012 from The Cleveland Institute of Music with a Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance, her community involvement, specifically her time conducting community choirs and musical theater groups, has peaked interest in the health benefits of the vocal arts, from improving breath control, increasing vagal tone, and processing difficult emotions. It's her mission to share the amazing abilities of the human voice and help others claim their birthright to express themselves through song.

Transition to Transformation with

4/5/2023
Today I will be talking with LouAnne Hunt who will be talking about her journey and different times of transformation and what happened in her life. LouAnne is a small business and personal development coach along with an award-winning entrepreneur. She is a College professor (second career) and helps students make the transition from online learning to successful entrepreneurship. She achieves this by teaching them how to get from where they are to where they want to be. LouAnne started my coaching business in 2018 to help as many students as possible dealing with the sometimes overwhelming prospect of starting a new business while still completing their education. In her coaching practice, she provides the tools, strategy, and support to help people create meaningful changes in their lives. LouAnne loves her work because helping people be successful is deeply meaningful to her. One of the things that separates her work from the work of most other coaches, and it is one of the reasons this work is so successful, is that the first step of any coaching is to create a safe space. A space in which people feel safe enough to open up and be vulnerable enough to tell the truth about their goals and dreams, their fears and limiting beliefs, and to own their core genius and unique abilities. LouAnne struggled with the same challenges her clients face. She is very familiar with the pressure of job deadlines, going back to school, family obligations, and feelings of inadequacy. She gets it and knows there is a better way. Coaching transformed her life. It is her life’s purpose to help as many people as she can to create a life they are proud of. https://louannehunt.ca/ https://www.facebook.com/lahunt62

Restorative Yoga with Andrea Peloso

2/22/2023
In this episode, I am honoured to have Andrea Peloso as a Guest host. She is a featured teacher and writer with Yoga International, she has been offering teacher training in Restorative Yoga as well as other important yoga themes across Canada and Internationally for 15 years and has been teaching yoga for 26 years. Andrea has an energetic, gentle and caring teaching style and seeks to make her classes educational, clear, fun and inclusive. “Restorative Yoga is the use of props to support the body in such a way that elicits a healing response. The response should be a deep relaxation- the deeper the better so we are actually stimulating our deep parasympathetic nervous system when we do this practice. The parasympathetic nervous system is in charge of everything that makes life wonderful and long: fertility, digestion, immunity, relaxed diaphragmatic breathing, the body healing itself internally, lower blood pressure, etc. etc.” ~ Andrea Peloso Get in touch with Andrea Peloso here: https://andreapeloso.com/ https://www.theconnectedyogateacher.com/019-restorative-yoga-andrea-peloso/ https://www.instagram.com/andreamariepeloso/?hl=en

Special Guest John Sullivan The Relationship Coach

2/8/2023
February brings us to Valentine’s Day, a time to celebrate our primary relationship. Of course, once a year is hardly enough but it is a significant reminder of the importance of our intimate relationship. It is a time to be grateful and celebrate together. In this episode, I have the pleasure of having John Sullivan, The Relationship Coach as a guest speaker. Today we will give you a quick review of 5 books that will give you information and tools to move your relationship forward no matter what stage you are in your relationship. The good, the bad or the ugly. Here is a little information about John Sullivan: John was a teacher and coach at both the high school and college level. He earned a Masters in Counselling Psychology at the Adler School of Professional Psychology and then was personally trained by Dr. Harville Hendrix as both an Imago Relationship Therapist and as a Getting the Love You Want workshop presenter. He has been giving workshops and seeing clients around the States and Canada for the past 33 years. "I prefer the term coach, to therapist or counsellor, as the connotation around those words is that there is something wrong with the person; whereas, as a coach, there is nothing wrong with my players, but sometimes what they are doing is not working. I believe the same is true of relationships."
