The work I do is guided by the knowing that is it possible to be liberated from the challenges you experience in your body and your womb space. It is rooted in the belief that your body desires to heal and find equilibrium, and my intention is to create a space and share practices that provide the environment, conditions and nourishment for that to happen. My work spans a range from hands-on womb care and pelvic bodywork, to menstrual cycle mentorship and somatic healing. I take into account the physical, emotional, energetic and ancestral contexts of your experience. Exploring the complete picture of who you are, the stories behind what you are experiencing, and what is held in your body as a result. And together we create a space to understand, unravel and rewrite.

The passion I have for sharing this work comes from my own journey of naturally healing from several chronic illnesses, menstrual cycle challenges and traumatic medical & sexual experiences. I have spent many years devoted to the path of re-connecting with and descending back into my deep body, learning and studying with wisdom keepers from different corners of the world, and coming into a deep and reverent relationship with my cycle and womb. I wish for all women to remember what it is like to feel vital in the fabric of their own body, and to be able to claim the value in all stages of natural womanhood with as little intervention as possible.

Marie-Jeanne is a sound bath practitioner and student of Acutonics with a devotion to a nourishing, depth full sound practice that supports individuals to deeply receive, slow down and meet themselves fully. She dove deep into sound bathing for the healing of her own nervous system back in 2017 with her teacher Sarah Surrenders, and in 2019 she completed her mentorship. The way Marie-Jeanne shares and practices sound is anchored in deep reverence to the body, psyche, and unique sensitivities of every person that comes to sessions. One of her joys is to help others deeply relax and align to their deeper truth. She holds space in a ritual way, with sacred objects + tools to bring people on an inner journey of self-discovery through the vibratory power of sound.

I aim to create a warm, safe treatment environment to support your body and mind to let go and relax. I have extensive training in a trauma therapy called Somatic Experiencing®, so if you are experiencing symptoms of trauma (anxiety, depression, chronic pain, digestive disorders), with your consent, we can work with your nervous system using gentle touch, following your body’s lead to release the stress energy. If you would like a deeply relaxing, more traditional treatment, I do that too.

I have been a shiatsu therapist since 2005 and a registered massage therapist since 2012. I earned a Master of Rehabilitation Science degree from UBC (2021) and have completed continuing education in Somatic Experiencing®, manual lymph drainage, and foot reflexology. I am also an end- of-life doula and provide mobile palliative massage treatments in Vancouver and on Salt Spring Island.

Direct billing is available for many extended health plans. I look forward to working with you.
