Nourish The Yin

Trauma-informed yoga, meditation, reiki, and sound therapy. Ottawa.

Nourish The Yin

Trauma-informed energy healing for deep transformation

Experience healing that transcends the physical, where energy, emotion, and soul unite to bring understanding, release, and renewal at the deepest level. 

This is a space where the shoulders drop, the body softens, and the breath deepens.

This is a practice where Western neuroscience and Eastern teachings unite to:

  • Reduce stress,
  • Bring balance and regulation, and 
  • Invite clarity and peace.

Hi, I’m Dorothy.

I hold safe and trauma-informed spaces with compassion to honour you, just as you are

I’m a trauma-informed yoga teacher, sound therapy practitioner, holographic reiki master practitioner and teacher, and intuitive guide. I focus on sharing holistic wellness practices, and including accessible and marginalized spaces. I take an integrative and anti-colonial approach to healing our individual and ancestral trauma.

I invite you to consider that you are who your ancestors have been waiting for; you are sacred, just as you are
