Welcome!
I am a Rosen Method Bodywork Practitioner and certified yoga teacher in Edmonton and Barrhead, Alberta.
Since the early 2000’s, I have been on a journey of Returning Home. Finding my way back to parts of myself that had to be put away and hidden in order to survive my environment. Navigating the depths within myself through Rosen Method Bodywork, and the practice of yoga and meditation, numerous insights and aha moments surfaced to be seen and acknowledged. Nothing needed to be fixed, changed or healed. Simply allowing what was held in my body to be experienced and witnessed, opportunity for space and lightness arose, along with periods of pure joy, profound gratitude and bliss.
Early on in my Rosen Method Bodywork training, a loud and clear message arrived across the landscape of my mind. It read:
I AM IMPORTANT, I AM IMPORTANT, I AM IMPORTANT
Tears flooded my face as I allowed this in. It was and continues to be true. I am indeed important. This deep inner work was and is vital. It is a lifetime of discovery.
My yoga mat continues to be a safe space for exploring my inner world. The depths within have an infiniteness that fascinates me.
For years my single passion was sharing the numerous benefits of yoga with students. First through classes, simply teaching how to move and stretch with breath. Later on mini restorative yoga retreats, workshops and class series for managing anxiety. Most recently, guiding students through the turbulent waters of grief and loss. Now, I’m thrilled to add another passion. Helping people return home to themselves through Rosen Method Bodywork.
Rosen method bodywork
This unique form of bodywork uses a gentle, present, responsive listening touch, along with affirmative words to invite deep relaxation and self-awareness in the body. It is an effective way to access our vitality and inner resilience as our bodies learn to shift out of survival mode and into wellbeing. In this way, a greater understanding of how emotions move through and are held in the body, is acquired.
Some Benefits of Rosen Method are:
- Release chronically held pain and muscular tension
- Regain freedom of movement
- Reduction of stress and chronically suppressed emotions
- Creating a deeper connection with self and others
- Improved physical and emotional awareness
- New sense of aliveness
- Strengthened sense of purpose
- Opening and/or deepening spiritual connection
“With touch, there is an awareness in the cells of the body that bypasses the intellectual knowing …. When people discuss their difficulties intellectually, they do not seem to get to the depth of knowing in the way they do when they are physically touched. Touch seems to be like a cord cutting through the red tape, finding the core of the barrier, of the suffering of the hold.”
“In Rosen Method, the client’s story is not fundamental; the underlying goodness, wholeness, essence or being is fundamental”

Yoga
Yoga is an ancient practice spanning thousands of years. Its benefits are numerous and accommodates everyone regardless of age, shape or fitness level. It utilizes the power of breath, movement and deep rest to bring the body back into balance.

There is no fixing
There is nothing to do
But to allow what’s there
To really be
Seen, Felt, Acknowledged, Known
There is no fixing
No sharing of similar stories
Nothing needs to be done
But to BE with it
There is an Unknown quality
Within this sitting
With Being with it
An urge to run away is SO strong
There is an edge that appears
Peering over
It is dark and scary
This inner abyss
There is infinite possibility
Within this Unknown place in me
Stay with it Jeanette
Resist, yet acknowledge the urge to run
Incredible courage and strength
Miraculously appear
To stay Present within
This sea of Unknownness
