They asked her, “What is the key to saving the world?
She answered, “You. You are the key. Heal yourself, know yourself, make yourself whole and free. Release all limits so that your love can flow unconditionally for yourself and the world, this will open the heaven of your heart completely and it will guide you without fail.

Healing can often feel incredibly isolating and lonely. A space where anxiety, fears, confusion can abound.

In the container I co-create with you, we will work together so you feel less alone, seen, heard and understood. I am here to serve as a witness and walk next to you on your path of healing. My intention is for you to walk away from our time together with bolstered self-awareness, grounded-ness, and calm.

After receiving therapy for many years, I knew I needed something different. A space where I can fully be myself and utilize what I was born with; my senses. The practice is crafted from over 16 years of training / experience in the healing arts. These are techniques I have used myself for healing as well as students and clients of various capacities.

1:1 sessions offer an embodied approach to addressing trauma of all kinds. They are a melding of Jungian techniques, expressive arts so you can explore and excavate what has been store in the body.

Through a heart centered approach, I’ll guide you through processing difficult wounds / triggers, allowing for gentle yet deep integrative healing.

    I worked with Kanna in one-on-one sessions after losing two people very close to me in a short amount of time. These traumas had greatly increased anxiety, insomnia, and tension in my body. Working with Kanna brought a calm to my week that I looked forward to and I left feeling quieter, more in tune with my body, and hopeful. Kanna incorporated yoga practices and philosophy, breathing exercises, movement, and conversation in our sessions. Kanna is unassuming, gentle, and loving, and she put time and energy into connecting with me and making me feel comfortable. I remember talking with Kanna about my love for writing and how it offered a release for me; the next session, she brought one of her favorite poems, “The Guest House,” for me. I learned how to listen to, get to know, and use my body to heal in my sessions with Kanna, and she taught me to slow down my mind and simply pay attention to myself. I adore Kanna, I am so grateful for her work, and I continue to use practices she taught me in my daily life. I could not recommend her with more enthusiasm! Thank you, Kanna! <3 <3

    The Radiance Program transformed the condition of my life physically and spiritually, Kanna worked to bring these two components of myself into alignment. When I decided to approach this healing practice it was my goal to cleanse my body of residual emotional toxins, to elevate the vibrations of my chakras, and to find greater peace and self-acceptance. The program drew me closer and closer to inner truth and a state of self-love; it deepened my compassion. And it undoubtedly cleansed my body. Kanna created a clear and receptive environment to draw out the stagnation inside of me, as well as, replenish me with nourishing energy. Having the program laid out before me allowed the opportunity to have a single minded focus of healing. Knowing I had sessions to look forward to fed me with motivation to confront my weaknesses. The progression toward cleansing was palpable. I could feel the flood of renewal as the energy clearing worked to remove that which was no longer serving, or was sucking up my emotional energy. This combined with the life-coaching was a powerful remedy to self-doubt and habits of victim mentality. Since undergoing the Transformation Program I have a renewed sense of self-love and much deeper compassion for the world around me, my skin has become clear, and my once nearly constant negative mind-chatter has ceased. Kanna was a conduit of healing, I would recommend this program to anyone. We all deserve to make our own healing a priority, and although the changes must ultimately be made by the individual having guidance and treatment from a skilled and blessed practitioner is one very important and empowering elements we can bring to our healing process. Thank you, Kanna, you touched me deeply, and I am stronger and better from it.

    Integrated Movement Therapy®️ (a form of holistic therapy that melds yoga's philosophical, movement and spiritual framework with cognitive behavioral therapy) will serve as the backbone of the program.

    The approach is based on 3 overarching philosphies:

    1. The client is already perfect and whole.

    2. The student and teacher are both unlimited in their abilities to heal.

    3. No part of the body/mind/spirit complex, and no part of the brain works alone.

    All sessions apply the 6 core principles of Integrated Movement Therapy®️:

    1. Structure and Continuity

    2. Physical Stimulation

    3. Language Stimulation

    4. Social Interaction

    5. Self-Calming

    6. Direct Self-Esteem Building


    Kanna is a highly intuitive life coach, who lead me rapidly to the core of my emotions and feelings, helping me to clearly define the life I am to embody. Utilizing her Coaching sessions in conjunction with her Somatic Healing, I was able to experience a cocoon of gentle, heart opening support with each visit. Her compassionate emotional sensitivity is equaled in the soft tenderness of her physical touch, which gave me the heart warming space I needed to more fully open to my Self.

    Upon entering into Kanna’s 6 week program, my top goals were to reduce anxiety, improve boundaries & decrease body pain. Kanna provided a safe space to discuss concerns and strategies to improve self-care and cultivate compassion. She is compassionate, intuitive, a great listener, open & non-judgmental. As a result of participating in her program, there’s been a dramatic improvement in my daily self care, enhanced self compassion, and reduction in perceived stress. The program was a fantastic catalyst for helping me move past several key destructive patterns. I highly recommend her program to anyone stuck in patterns that are holding them back and who are ready to make space for change! It was such a positive healing experience! Thank you Kanna for your time and energy!

    Kanna is one of the most dedicated, passionate and compassionate individuals I have ever met. She is determined and resourceful. She is highly capable and has amazing attention to detail. I have spoken with many of Kanna’s yoga students/therapy clients and they give nothing but praise. Ever since I first met Kanna many years ago, she has spoken about her passion for the intersection of health, wellness and nature. Kanna has a keen eye and knows how to take two completely disparate paths and fuse them into one. She makes everything seem possible. In her presence, you feel seen, heard, understood and accepted for who you are. She has the biggest heart and goes beyond in order to help support others on their journey. Kanna has an amazing capacity to mentor and be an advocate for and hold a person accountable to their own goals, dreams and aspirations. She is an amazing role model. Kanna sees the beauty that is inherent in everyone. She adds to and never takes from.

    I feel so blessed to have worked with Kanna through both her Radiance and Vibrancy Programs. It was tough work, but well worth it. I experienced a lot of ups and downs during those six months and all along Kanna was of great support. She has many tools in her kit that she is able to draw from in bringing about deep reflection and energy clearing. I left each of our sessions feeling full of inspiration and ease, no matter how stressed I was when I arrived. Kanna has a gift for deep listening and feeling the truth the behind words. I always look forward to our Thai Bodywork sessions as her healing touch always puts me in a deeply relaxing state. For years, I have struggled with chronic stress, self-limiting beliefs, and an unhealthy caretaker/fixer approach to relationships. I have walked away from our time together with tools to heal and open my heart, gratitude and love for myself, and perspective on healthy boundaries in my relationships. Thank you Kanna. I love you soul sister!
