My name is Zana (she/they), meaning Woman who flows with the River. I am a queer, Integrative Somatic Therapist, Yoga Nidra guide & Medicine Woman based on Treaty 6 Territory in Edmonton, AB. Following my body’s lead, my personal journey through post-traumatic growth, healing & transformation has spanned over 10 years. Through this process I have cultivated deep reverence, unending curiosity, love and gratitude for the body’s inherent wisdom, and the ways in which soul and spirit move (through) us, so that we can (re-)awaken to who we Are and what we came here to Be.
Through the art of sacred rest, eco-somatics, creativity, imagination and ceremony, I am honored to follow a path of heart service and to offer these integrative practices and healing supports at this time in space, as we continue to come back into Remembrance and into sacred connection with ourselves, one another and our Mother Earth.
As I continue to bridge art as medicine and medicine as art, I am currently completing my studies in Thai Bodywork and Conscious Connected Breathwork. I am also trained in Integrative Somatic Therapy (ISTP™ Level 2), and am a 200hr RYT with additional certifications in 100hr Trauma-Informed Yoga: on and off the mat, Yoga Nidra, as well as Psychedelic-assisted Therapy. In addition to yoga, art, and somatics, I provide individual and community support for those preparing and integrating their psychedelic experiences.
I look forward to connecting with you and hope our paths cross soon!
