Profound
interconnection
mind • body • spirit
At Élan Wellness, we believe in the profound interconnection of mind, body, spirit, and the social/global contexts we are situated in. We practice from a decolonizing, trauma and violence-informed, social justice platform, and are dedicated to providing equitable and accessible services. We offer a variety of somatic therapies and a range of healing-oriented practices through a sliding scale payment model that considers a person’s financial privilege.
Whether you're seeking relief from physical discomfort, emotional distress, or simply aiming to enhance your overall well-being, we are here to walk beside you on your journey towards creating what you need to thrive. We will meet you exactly where you’re at with compassion, dignity, attention, and a sense of curiosity, because after all, you are your own expert.
Hi, I’m Meg!
As the creator of Élan Wellness, I'm delighted to welcome you. I sincerely respect the bravery required to embark on the journey of healing and to initiate the journey of connecting with one's essence. This endeavour isn't always straightforward or enjoyable but holds immense value. By confronting the challenges our bodies have faced in enduring pain, trauma, the demands of life, and other obstacles, we embrace a more complete existence— a state of being characterized by embodiment, compassion, and heart-centred living. In this state, we cultivate greater understanding and kindness towards ourselves and those around us.
“When we meet people in their worlds, all behaviour makes sense.”
— Vikki Reynolds, PhD, RCC and fierce social justice advocate
Offerings
-
TRE® is a method of re-wilding the body to its innate wisdom and stress-release mechanisms. It uses 7 gentle movement sequences to initiate a tremor that moves through the body, unwinding patterns of tension and stress, leaving the practitioner with greater relaxation and ease.
-
Transforming Touch® is an attachment-focused and protocol-based modality that supports the healing of developmental trauma and attachment ruptures. It uses physical or intentional touch and practitioner presence to support nervous system regulation and a sense of safety. Over time, a client begins to experience life differently through subtle yet profound changes.
-
SE is a body-based therapeutic approach to addressing the somatic and psychological effects of trauma and chronic stress. Both practitioner and client approach feeling into bodily sensations, moving at the speed of trust, to develop more comfort and safety within. By moving slowly and attending to physical sensations, the nervous system begins to find more capacity and regulation, and the client moves towards greater overall well-being.
-
Intuitive Reiki is an approach to healing that combines traditional Reiki techniques with the practitioner’s intuitive guidance, adapting the flow of life and love force energy to the recipient’s unique needs and circumstances.
