About Candice

You are moving knowledge.

I see the unfolding of your journey and who you are in connection to the expression of your body as a living, breathing work of art. The stories both painful and joyful - the memory of who you are, the presence that you truly are -- are all here in your body, waiting to reveal and be honored in its own way so that you may clear the space for Source energy and your specific light rhythm through you.

I remember the early times of my life when I felt extremely critical of myself, didn't know who I was, experienced a flat sense of forced happiness, a rigid way of being in the world that was like a prison, all sorts of tension and pain in my body along with headaches, high cholesterol and repeated triggers and patterns in abusive in relationships. I felt my inner perfectionist show up to bring a face into the world that said I felt great while I was deeply crying on the inside. My body held all that pain and I in turn hated it, the way I thought it hated me and was dysfunctional. I felt powerless to heal, and doctors told me that it was "stress."

What I had was incomplete experiences of developmental and relational trauma, mixed inherited losses in the ancestry, the collective/archetypal energies and past lives that would later reveal itself -- all this was unintegrated and wanting a voice. All this was wanting to be honored in me and to be transmuted into energy that I needed to be full in myself on my journey.

I did not know how to love myself, to feel pleasure and in abundance, and to receive love. I began to learn a new safety in my body, love, and forgiveness for myself.

With navigating my felt sense and tapping into my own body wisdom, I increasingly had moments where I could feel pleasure and peace in my body -- as well as profound experiences of joy and connection to Source. Where I felt like myself and at home. Where I felt at ease and in my fullness.

Now, I feel this ongoing beautiful relationship with my body and inner world expand. I experience my emotions as gifts, even when they are challenging -- while feeling anchored to a divine consciousness. There's an ease and surrender to who I am, while more reveals itself - and an alignment and clarity to my true energetic signature that is unfolding.

A Healing Gift

One of my joys is to support people in feeling like themselves, being at ease in their bodies, and loving themselves.  I facilitate experiential processes for people to be in their Beauty through navigating their emotional and felt sense in their bodies, healing past trauma, intergenerational trauma, and past life trauma, as well as to find inner and outer wisdom, intuition, resource, and pleasure.

I hold space for people to open and deepen into their body and soul wisdom and be in the Beauty of who they are. If trauma and intergenerational trauma, or past life experiences emerge, I support healing and reclaiming energy from those experiences from both spiritual and scientific approaches that touch the whole physiology.

Using the power of love, self-forgiveness, empowered body wisdom, and tools to support the nervous system, I support you in cultivating loving in yourself so that you can arrive into your easeful and full presence. I intuitively sense into the roots of suffering, offering loving support to untangle and integrate the experiences of past life, personal, developmental, intergenerational, and collective trauma. With simple tools to navigate your body’s messages, intuition, and memory, I hold an easeful space for reconnection with your ancient wisdom and healing potential.

I am best with supporting people and those in relationships in  the embodiment of their truth and willingness to meet themselves as they are, with love. I draw people who desire to create from a place of truth and authenticity, even if they don't know where to begin or feel lost.

I also mentor and train healers, coaches, wellness practitioners, dance companies and creative groups in integrating somatic and trauma-informed approaches, support fullness and deepening, developing professional voice and unique ways of healing, and conscious business.

With your body, soul and spirit as the guide, we will support  you in feeling truly like yourself, being in joy and pleasure, abundance and love. If you feel inspired or called to work together, I would love to talk with you and explore. I will guide you as your being guides me.

Home is Where My Body Is

My healing sessions are offered remotely through online video. We can arrange in-person sessions/experiences with horses, retreats, workshops, mentorship and sessions.

I am currently located in Michigan and travel often to Chicago. We can arrange for sessions/retreats on location.

Integrated Modalities

I offer tools from an integrated symphony of ancient and modern, as well as scientific and spiritual practices that support deep embodied healing, such that my clients feel a transformation in all of their being.

I use my intuition to hold a sacred space for your process to open, unfold, and evolve. This and an integration of embodiment holds the fabric of our experiential sessions and connection, as well as a loving compassion and nonjudgment.

Family + Systemic Constellations

Our struggles connect with hidden dynamics of our ancestry, past life, and collective; to the flow of love and belonging. These dynamics are carried within us through our bodies and vibration, our challenges and heartache, and serve as a placeholder for the healing that Life is drawing us toward. Through Constellations, we see what is unspoken through the bodies of ourselves (individual constellation) and representatives (group), giving natural spaciousness, ease, and freedom to move in the world with fullness and love as yourself.

Somatic Experiencing

We need our whole body engaged to feel a sense of the fullness of our humanity and all that we can experience in this life. Engage the body as an ally, and tap into a whole world  deepening in self-awareness, wisdom, feeling like yourself, and healing. I offer Somatic Therapies and Somatic Experiencing to support people in resolving trauma, navigating emotions and felt sense, feeling pleasure, intuition, full sexuality and creativity, whole, present, purposeful and expansive.

Voice Dialogue + Parts Work

Explore the many parts of you, and reclaim the potential that lies in each of our disowned or disliked parts. In doing so, we have a clearer sense of what part of us is reacting and live from a deeper sense of ourselves. Each part has their own agenda, roots, relationship to other parts, and sensations/emotions that they come with. When the parts of ourselves can work in harmony and in our awareness, we can take in the insight that each part provides us and know ourselves better.

Spirituality + Energy Work

Using the transformative power and vibration of who we are at the core, Love, we collaboratively bring the unconditional loving and tending to that is needed to any part of you that is calling attention, listening, and healing. Self-Forgiveness statements around the judgments and belief sets as well as experiences you have had catalyze a return to your loving core energy and a release of blockages and patterns of being that have been living in your cellular structure. When we touch the deepest layers of beliefs, bring loving, and use the power of imagination and light energy, and when each of the channels of the body are clear to move the energy of that way of being, the body naturally releases, remembers, and recalibrates to who you truly are.

Dream Work

Dreams provide a rich opening into what the soul wants you to meet up with and embrace into your life, as well as a look into hidden parts of you, your inner wisdom, and intuitive knowings. I use somatic practices to support deepening into the experience that the dream offers you, opening the deep and rich layers of knowing and understanding. Dreams want you to know yourself and feel whole.

Background + More

I began to see the artfulness of our being while being an art teacher and art collaborator with public school communities for six years. For several years, I was a Holistic Psychotherapist in Chicago, IL.

My true form began to flourish when I started traveling and working with people internationally as a Healing Facilitator and Intuitive Coach. I currently am location independent, traveling and living "where my body is," while also home-basing in Michigan where I enjoy being with horses and family. I love dancing and living simply but also geek out on depth-psychology, dreamwork, and the unseen and magical experience.

I fell in love with horses at least 200 years ago in a past life! I've recently discovered this deep heart and psychic connection with horses and began collaborating with them to offer somatic and healing experiences for people. I enjoy a peaceful and harmonious relationship with horses at liberty that can also be healing for the horses.

I live, love, breathe and embody my practice, and I am continually evolving and growing. My spirit and the horses continue to teach me as I learn to listen deeper.
