Carolyn.

About.

Carolyn grew up in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, and feels grateful to be shaped by mother nature and her elements. 

As a young girl Carolyn spent hours in the mountains, adventuring through the mud, sun and snow. She was an avid ski racer, dancer of ballet, and highland dancer. This is where her love of creative expression and present moment awareness was born. 

As a young teenager Carolyn started yoga as a physical outlet and quickly noticed the healing affect it had on her whole being. Her curiosity in understanding the system of yoga, and its healing properties guided her towards her first yoga teacher training in 2009. She has gone on to take numerous trainings since and is a faculty member of Canmore Counselling’s trauma-informed yoga teacher trainings. 

Wanting to better understand her own experience of being human, and learn how she could better support herself and others on their human journey, Carolyn studied psychology at the University of British Columbia, and went on to complete her Masters of Counselling in Psychology at Athabasca University. More recently she has completed her training in EMDR, and is currently a student of Ancestral Medicine. She is currently in the process of becoming a certified Ancestral Medicine practitioner, and is infatuated with the profound healing that can take place through connection to spirit, the unseen and the deceased.

She is forever infatuated with nature and the intelligence it beholds, and spends her time outdoors connecting to the elements. She is a co-facilitator at Intertwining Medicines in Peru and travels down there yearly to both support clients in their plant medicine journeys as well as her own journeys. She will go on to do her psilocybin training in 2026 and start integrating this modality into her practice.


Carolyn has a kind heart, and vibrant soul, and an incredible capacity towards empathy. She is curious about other peoples stories, about life, love, connection, spirituality and the truth. She is playful, wise and intuitive and believes all humans have the capacity to unearth their most authentic selves. 

 I am honored and privleged to live and work on Treaty 7 land and home of Métis Nation of Alberta, Region III, and the traditional territory of the Îyârhe Nakoda.
