[email protected]
Rate: $65/half hour or $130/hour Canadian, plus taxes
Carie is a practitioner that works with the whole person, accessing the nervous system through the integration of modalities that she has been trained in, such as Somatic Experiencing-Peter Levine, TouchingTrauma-Kathy Kain, Feldenkrais®-Moshe Feldenkrais, Embodied Life School™-Russell Delman, and, she also brings in different self-awareness processes that have emerged over the years.
She is profoundly moved and touched deeply by the fact that when we access the Nervous System at the level of “Being” – experiencing the present moment as it is — we can learn and heal from the past, pulling it forward into living life more, alive, vibrant, fresh and true to ourselves in the present moment. Coming home!
Carie’s love of nature, connection and the great feedback loop of inner and outer forces inform her daily living experience on a continuum. She can offer her presence and some amazing tools that may give you the ability to discern, differentiate and integrate a harmonious interconnectivity with self and the environment.

Somatic Psychotherapist | Threshold Guide| Founder of Slow Healing
Carissa Rodgers is a somatic psychotherapist, trauma therapist, and threshold guide with over two decades of experience walking alongside people in deep emotional transition. Her work weaves together clinical depth, body-based practices, and nature-rooted wisdom to support nervous system restoration and soul repair.

She specialises in working with those navigating the liminal spaces between what has ended and what is yet to be born.

She holds space for those who know that healing is not about returning to who you were before, but becoming more of who you truly are.
Her clients include therapists, space-holders, highly sensitive souls, and women at the edge of identity, meaning, and belonging. Whether through private sessions, seasonal immersions, or slow audio journeys, Carissa invites people into a healing experience that listens deeply, moves slowly, and honors the body as a site of knowing.

Samantha Ross

Rate: $120 USD per 55 minute session
As a trauma healing practitioner with her own global online practice, Samantha brings a deep, lived understanding of what it means to heal the nervous system. Her own journey began in 2018 when she joined Irene Lyon’s 21 Day Nervous System Tune Up, and from that moment forward, nervous system healing became both her path and her passion.
She joined Irene’s in-depth online program, SmartBody SmartMind, for the first time in 2019, took part in three rounds of group somatic sessions called Pods, led by Irene’s husband and colleague Seth Lyon. She then worked one-on-one as a client of Seth for many years. Working deeply through her own personal traumas gave her a rare depth of insight into how the body and mind can transform through nervous system healing. She furthered her understandings through training in Peter Levine’s Somatic Experiencing™, Gabor Maté’s Compassionate Inquiry in Action, Bessel Van der Kolk’s training in The Body Keeps The Score, Diane Poole Heller’s approaches to attachment and trauma, extensive personal work in the Feldenkrais Method™, and studied with Irene Lyon in her BETA training program.

Samantha’s clients often note the sense of calm, safety, attunement and understanding they feel with her. With over 20 years of Buddhist practice and training the mind, including 15 years running a Buddhist meditation retreat center in Switzerland, Samantha’s warm, kind heart believes everyone has the potential to heal.
Grounded in her own solid nervous system regulation, she uses her strong intuition to inform her work, helping people across the world reconnect with their bodies, rebuild resilience, and discover the freedom of nervous system healing.
