Meet the Speakers
Here are some brief introductions from the people that will be sharing their passion and wisdom with you at the event - all healers are from the 100 Mile House area.
Cecilia de GrootWell, some of you know me, and some don't - I'm a tea leaf reader offering intuitive guidance, being a voice of calm and reason - I'll be sharing the gift of intuition and trusting yourself in the final talk of the day. After a year of reading tea leaves professionally, the common theme is "trusting oneself". I aim to share my perspective with you through joyful expression. I haven't come up with a title yet for my talk, though, I promise, it'll be good.
I'm also organizing this event, and hand-selected all of these beautiful, heart-centered speakers to share with you their wisdom, insight and experience. |

Angela Larson
Owner of Treat Yourself Wellness
“Hi, I’m Angela, a chronic pain and trauma survivor, like many of you out there. Most of us suffer from trauma, physical, mental, and emotional, and what we are not taught in our society is that we must process our pain through our system so it can return to an optimal state of functioning for feelings of health and overall wellness. As a Yoga Therapist, I learned that we must address all states of our being so they can work in harmony. Balance and communication are paramount on our physical, mental/emotional, energetic, intuition/wisdom, and spiritual layers. Each one permeates into the next and when we go through trauma and suffering, we get blockages deteriorating our bodies ability to communicate and flow in the natural and intelligent way it was created. Yoga Therapy offers simple and easy to use techniques that bring the body back into balance, while maintaining a state of ease and overall calm. One of the ways we address these issues in our system is by working with our fascia system. Fascia has recently become more widely understood and respected. It is now considered our largest organ and more intelligent than we could have ever imagined. Join me for a short talk and presentation on the intelligence of our fascia system or stop by my booth to share some of your personal issues going on, so I can offer you support and education on your road to total recovery!” |
