Step into the Portal
1:1 Somatic Therapy, Bodywork & Soul-Based Sessions
An invitation to listen beneath the surface, meet what is arising, and explore the deeper threads of your experience. Through somatic attunement, embodiment practices, and soul-inquiry, we make space for what is ready to be witnessed, felt, and integrated, reconnecting with the wisdom and medicine within.
Conscious Connected Breathwork invites us into a deeper relationship with the breath as a gateway to the body, nervous system, and expanded states of consciousness. Through intentional, rhythmic breathing, we create space to feel, release, explore, and gather insights into our subconscious.
Breathwork
Yoga Nidra is a practice of deep rest, self-inquiry, and presence. Moving through the thresholds between wakefulness, dreaming, and sleep, we enter expanded states of consciousness where the body rests and the mind turns inward. Through this process, we have the opportunity to explore the deeper dimensions of our being, create space within the bodymind, and reconnect with our True Nature.
Yoga Nidra
Psychedelic medicines can be powerful and supportive tools for healing. Whether you are preparing for a journey or are integrating one, these sessions are designed to support and empower your relationship with your inner-healer.
Psychedelic Preparation & Integration
Reiki is a gentle form of energy work that can be deeply restorative, transformative, and healing. Working with subtle energy, Reiki offers a space to relax, rebalance, and reconnect.

Hi! I’m Zana, and it is my deepest honour to be here.
While I couldn't have known it at the time, my path to this work began in my teens when I began to suffer from narcissistic abuse, neglect, and family loss. Following years of struggling with an eating disorder, self-harm, depression, and C-PTSD, I began a journey of healing, transformation, and self-discovery that has continued to shape the person and practitioner I am today.
Along the way, art, yoga, and writing became important tools for understanding myself, making sense of my experiences, and finding my way back into relationship with my body. It was in my early twenties, however, that I came into a deeper relationship with the Earth. At a time of profound grief, dissociation, and numbness, the natural world became my sanctuary—a place to listen and slowly walk myself back to life.
What began as a relationship rooted in survival has since become one of profound reverence, reciprocity, and love. The Earth continues to be one of my greatest teachers, reminding me of the beauty of being alive, the interconnectedness of all things, and what it means to Be Here. It is an honor to walk upon this path and to walk alongside you.
Embodied Philosophy
To come into deeper relationship with ourselves is to come into deeper relationship with Life.
My work is guided by reverence for the profound experience of what it means to Be Here. Through my own journey of C-PTSD recovery, healing, and transformation, as well as through the work I do with others, I have come to believe that the body is not something to transcend, but a portal through which we come into deeper relationship with ourselves, one another, Mother Earth, and the greater mystery of existence.
At the heart of this is my belief that there is an inner healer within each of us. Through the process of embodiment, we can learn to listen for and follow this wisdom, moving toward greater wholeness and ultimately, deeper presence, curiosity, and connection with Life itself.
Integrative Somatic & Soul-based
Through an integrative somatic and soul-based approach, I draw upon a range of practices and modalities to support a deeper relationship with the body, the inner healer, and the unfolding experiences of being alive.
