TESTIMONIALS

Our wounds are often the openings into the best and most beautiful part of us.
— David Richo
 

“Sitting with Kanna feels like bare feet in warm sand. She embodies the complexities and balance she urges her clients to embrace within themselves - at once inexplicably warm and nurturing, as well as boundaried and direct. As a practitioner myself, it means so very much to have someone hold space for me - someone to trust with my blind spots and guide me while I explore the darker parts of my insides I long to integrate. I have done more than my fair share of therapeutic work, and I can't say I've found someone by whom I've felt more seen and lovingly challenged. I feel more hopeful and more grounded in my body; I notice feeling less afraid to show up in my relationships, at work, and for myself. It has felt easier to keep promises to myself, and generally betray myself less. I look forward to working with her in the future and am ending this chapter of our work with wholehearted gratitude.”

— Rhiannon, Mental Health Counselor

“I can’t say enough good things about the work I did with Kanna. She taught me how to speak to my body, to have a conversation and to really listen to what it is telling me. We worked through abandonment from my Mother Wound, and I was shocked at how quickly I was able to connect in and the breakthroughs that followed. She helped me shift my perspective and realize new aspects of my relationship to both my parents that helped me to release old binding thought patterns. And while I know this work will continue through my lifetime, the transformation I experienced in such a short timespan with Kanna motivates me to continue diving in and doing the inner work. Her integrative approach helped me to connect to my body’s wisdom in a way that talk therapy had not. So grateful that our paths crossed when it did. She has helped me leverage the intensity of 2020 to grow and expand so much more than I could ever have done on my own.”

Ellen, Co-Founder of Daughters & Breathwork Facilitator

“Kanna is a rare find. Kanna’s energy healing sessions combine skill and sensitivity to create genuine results. During my session with Kanna, she was able to tap into and address a number of issues that I thought I had worked through, but in reality just ignored. Directly after our session together, I felt very grounded and comforted. The next day, I experienced extreme exhaustion and nausea, which is a tell tale sign for me that she helped dig up and loosen up those things I had buried. By the end of the week, I felt amazing! My body felt lighter and more mobile, my mind felt clearer, and in general I felt like I once again had the room to take on life.”

— Angela, Holistic Health Consultant

“Working with Kanna for the last year and a half has been a life changing experience. She uses different modalities through movement, art, guided meditations and visualizations to tap into your inner child to help heal past traumas. She holds space to allow you to be vulnerable and share. All of this has allowed me to grow and heal in ways that I couldn’t have imagined. I’m more present as a mother, wife, and friend. Most importantly I’m learning how to love myself and listen to my heart and intuition to always guide me in the right direction. Investing in Kanna is investing in self care which has been invaluable.”

— Judy, medical practitioner

“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 counseling sessions in conjunction with her Thai Bodywork, 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.”

— Amanda, Fine Artist

“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”

“Working with Kanna transformed the condition of my life physically and spiritually. She 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 work together 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 regular sessions 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 having worked with Kanna, 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 her 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 are 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.”

— Ashley, Artist & Mom

“Kanna is an authentic, kind, and wise healer with exceptional bodywork and counseling skills! Her work is deeply transformative and provides a powerful method to getting “unstuck” both physically and emotionally. Upon entering into my sessions with Kanna, 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, highly intuitive, a great listener, open & non-judgmental. As a result of working with her, there’s been a dramatic improvement in my daily self care, enhanced self compassion, and reduction in perceived stress. The practice was a fantastic catalyst for helping me move past several key destructive patterns. I highly recommend her 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!”

— Emily, Registered Dietician & Yogi

“I feel so blessed to have worked with Kanna. 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!”

— Julee, Project Manager & Yoga Teacher

“Working with Kanna was such a pleasant and insightful experience. She was able to find words and visuals for things that I had been feeling, but couldn’t bring clarity around myself. She helped me find that clarity, with her gentle and supportive guidance. I’m so glad that I got the chance to work with her, and look forward to more sessions.”

— Kara, Moon Circle Practitioner

“I have the warmest regards of the care Kanna gave to me while I was in the hospital. It was an experience of being cared for in the midst of navigating the impersonal health care system that at times felt dehumanizing. Kanna focused her healing energy into my pain and uncertainty. I'm super grateful for her healing energy!”

— West, Program Coordinator

“Kanna is a patient, grounded, intuitive and compassionate practitioner who helped me so that I’m now less judgmental towards myself and able to use intuitive drawing to process challenging experiences in life. I felt the intuitive art, shadow work, inner child journeying and energy healing to be very effective! Thank you so much Kanna!”

“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 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.”

— Sarah, Shamanic Healer

“My experience with Kanna surpassed my expectations in all beautiful ways. I went to her following a traumatic adrenal crash, that left me rattled and shaken, exhausted and discouraged. Her compassion and understanding allowed me to be in a space of vulnerability and safety. The hours that she worked on me was transformative. I left feeling grounded and optimistic. The days following the work that she did I was able to decrease my hydrocortisone and I felt my adrenals begin to wake up. This surprised me a bit, as the treatment feels so comforting and gentle. Yet, it is powerful and deep.
I felt genuinely cared for and supported; I strongly think that is a key aspect when working with any healer. It certainly magnified the results. I cannot recommend or encourage anyone to see Kanna enough! She’s phenomenal!”

— Gina, Mom & Lyme disease Survivor

“I’ve never heard of Thai Bodywork before but once I started with Kanna, I can’t stop. I came to Kanna hoping just to relax and deal with some body aches. But the work Kanna has done for me is so much more - she knows exactly what my mind and body need to deal with the physical manifestations of my intense anxiety that western medication just hasn’t been able to fix. I look forward to every appointment with her because she provides more than just Thai Bodywork - she is an amazing therapist and spiritual guide through my journey into mindfulness to deal with my stress and anxiety. I highly recommend her and I tell everyone I know about Kanna.”

— Vicky, Attorney

“Kanna is a wonderful healer and offers her kind and compassionate nature to her clients. The session left me feeling rejuvenated, relaxed, and refreshed. This was my first traditional Thai Bodywork experience and Kanna made me feel very comfortable and at ease. Her space is warm and inviting and feels like a real retreat from daily life. I highly recommend seeing Kanna if you're looking for a way to find balance in your body and mind.”

— Camille, Yoga Teacher

“I have been receiving massages for many years from a variety of practitioners who utilize many different styles of massage. Kanna helped open my eyes to Thai Bodywork and it’s unique benefits. She is a skillful and outstanding therapist who really cares about the well-being of her clients. I find myself feeling energized and refreshed after my sessions with her. She understands anatomy well and has worked with injuries and/or limitations. If you haven’t ever tried Thai Bodywork (or even if you have, but with somebody else), I highly recommend that you try it with Kanna.”
