I help visionaries, disrupters and entrepreneurs transform colonial conditioning to embodied liberation

You’ve tried therapy to talk through blocks, but the therapists you’ve worked with are focused on the individual and not the collective with systems and history that oppress humans. 

You’ve tried working with a successful coach but couldn’t fully relate to their lived experiences and perspectives.

You’ve tried piecing together ways that other professionals like you work from their social media but it just isn’t enough

You want to feel fulfilled but you feel a deep tiredness in your spirit and it feels like you can’t seem to get ahead. There isn’t enough time in the day to truly rest and be taken care of. 

You see people in your life that are truly expressing what comes naturally to them and struggle to see yourself uniquely in your own gifts. 

Life just keeps happening to you and you have a hard time seeing why that is. 

You think you need to do everything because no one else can do it exactly like you, however you end up being depleted and craving connection and support. 

What I see for you..

The vision of you in your fullest expression and deeply supported by your village. Because when you’re fully nourished, you can tend to your village like they care for you. It’s reciprocal and breaking cycles of depletion takes practice because of colonial conditioning. When you’re in your fullest expression, you’re role modelling the possibility of remembering your ancestors and embodying the integrity of a modern ancestor.

After 16 years working within nonprofit organizations and studying trauma-informed practices, I’ve witnessed how deeply colonial systems and inherited conditioning can shape the way we relate to our bodies, intuition, work, worth, relationships, and definitions of success.

My experience facilitating trauma-informed talking circles, conscious connected breathwork, ceremony, decolonized consulting, nourishment, and entrepreneurship has continually brought me back to the same work:

Helping people remember who they are while raising the standard for the quality of life they allow themselves to experience.

As a mixed First Nations woman from York Factory First Nation, my spirit work and lineage have deeply shaped how I understand responsibility, nourishment, community, and success

In my work, we focus on these 4 aspects so you can have embodied liberation: 

Nourishment — so you have the capacity to receive and be present with the beauty in your life, while having enough within you to share with others.

Personal Gifts — so you can bring what makes you you into the world and allow those gifts to be witnessed, valued, and celebrated.

Decolonized Lifestyle — so you can recognize the cultural, familial, and systemic conditioning influencing the way you work, lead, relate, consume, and define success—and consciously choose what you want to carry forward.

The Village — so you can release the burden of having to figure everything out alone and allow yourself to be supported by a multitude of relationships, perspectives, and resources.

“If you are looking for a facilitator, breath worker or speaker for your next event, Lee is a great choice. She is heart-centred, skillful, and does everything in a good way. I am looking forward to working with Lee again as she adds so much wisdom and good medicine in all the work she does. You, your event, your team, or clients will be in excellent hands with her.”

Here is a 4 questions workbook to help you reconnect to your ancestors and within yourself through journaling prompts, somatic practices, and resources to meet you where you’re at on your time.

It’s never too late to reconnect with ancestors you haven’t met yet.
