When you are lonely or in darkness
The astonishing light of your own being."

Carolyn Kennedy is a Yoga and Meditation Instructor, Reiki Master, Psychotherapist, Career Coach and Workshop Facilitator. She has more than 14 years experience teaching, counselling and healing in both groups and one-on-one. Her holistic approach to wellness includes teaching techniques that address the unique emotional, physical, mental and spiritual needs of her clients. Areas of specialty include:
•    Yoga Philosphy & Practise
•    Stress Management and Wellness Integration
•    Depression and Anxiety, PPD, PTSD, BPD, OCD

•    Relationship Issues/Mid-Life Spirituality and Transition

Depending on the unique needs of the client, her therapeutic modalities may include a combination of mainstream Talk and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and alternative approaches such as Focusing, Inner Child, Concentration and Mindfulness Meditation, Guided Imagery, Body and Chakra Psychotherapy and Reiki. Her influences borrow from the Jungian, Existential, Transpersonal and Adlerian schools of thought. Carolyn’s warm, engaging and playful style enhance her workshops, which combine practical applications of ancient wisdom, spiritual tools and principles, and mainstream healing techniques. Carolyn believes that emotional healing is interwoven with the emergence and growth of the hidden inner spirit. Through the practice of mindful presence and listening, Carolyn creates a deep, caring connection and sacred trust with her clients and moves them forward by helping them to rediscover who they are. She believes that each individual holds the unconscious clues which lead to the rediscovery of the lost “authentic self”, and that once found, profound healing, self-empowerment and spiritual awakening naturally emerge from within.

Carolyn is a Registered Yoga Teacher, Certified Administrator of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI Step I & II) and the Strong Interest Inventory (SII). She has a unique ability to inspire and re-ignite passion, self-empowerment, a sense of balance, direction and meaning to the lives of her students and clients and is passionate about working in a field where the possibilities of human potential are endless!
