  • Lyrics

    Learn HOW TO listen to what your body needs from special guest Michelle Dionne-Nisbett.

    Michelle is a Yoga Therapy Training and Essential Oil Educator. Yoga allows for flexibility of body and mind, meditation to instill peace and calm into an otherwise busy and hectic life, and essential oils to provide natural remedies.

    She has been fortunate to have a career doing what she loves most and works with amazing people that continually inspire her – from the Seniors, who have the courage to try something new; to the those with MS, Parkinson’s Disease or Cancer who never give up; to the inmates at the prison, that despite their surroundings, dive right in. ” They all teach me more than they will ever know and it is my honour to share my passion with them all.”

• MOVE: The Future Of Mindful Movement

  special guest: Jane Clapp  

  • Lyrics

    A message from Jane:

    We are all healing from some past hurt or loss, but it doesn’t mean we are broken. Our past struggles, traumas or health issues don’t have to be a life sentence. I believe we have the power to free ourselves from the shackles that limit our joy and fulfillment. While it is widely accepted that mindfulness is necessary to shape the body, I assert that the body is one of the most powerful alchemic tools for shaping the mind.

    As a practitioner in the health industry for two decades, my approach is to combine holistic personal training with tension and trauma healing to help my clients gain strength, mobility and energy. Through personal and professional exploration, I know that you can cultivate a deeply felt sense of resilience and agency to realize freedom in your life.
