Sunday Yoga and Gong Bath
April 12th & 26th, 10-11:30 am
Join me for a series of Sunday morning yoga classes, ending with a deeply restorative Paiste gong savasana.
Enjoy an engaging and strengthening practice in the comfort of my home studio in Guelph. We begin with grounding breathwork, move into deep stretching and supportive postures, and gradually build strength, balance, and awareness.
Each class concludes with an extended savasana, where you are immersed in the resonant tones of two Paiste gongs—inviting deep relaxation and integration.
This offering is best suited for those with some previous yoga experience.
Please bring a yoga mat and dress comfortably.
Kindly refrain from wearing perfume.
Where: My home studio in Guelph, ON.

Friday Evening Sound Bath
May 15th, 7:30-9 pm
Come and unwind after your busy week.
Lie down, get comfortable, and receive healing vibrations as you are gently supported with blankets, pillows, bolsters, and eye coverings.
For one deeply restorative hour, you’ll be immersed in rich, layered sounds created by instruments such as gongs, crystal singing bowls, drums, chimes, tuning forks, and more.
As the body relaxes, you may naturally drop into a theta brainwave state—where deep rest, restoration, and healing can occur.
All props are provided—just bring yourself.
Where: My home studio in Guelph, ON.
Maximum 6 participants.
Cost: $50 (preregister)
"I have attended several of Barbara's soundbaths, and they are always magical and profound. So relaxing and nurturing."

Guelph Conscious Dance
May 16th, 7:30-9 pm
Conscious Dance is a movement journey of physical and emotional transformation.
Through breath, sweat, and expression, you are invited to experience yourself as pure, powerful energy.
This is not about learning steps—it’s about allowing what lives within you—sensations, emotions, and impulses—to move freely through your body in your own unique way.
Music guides the experience, moving through a natural arc: from grounding to building energy, to release, and back into stillness and integration.
There is no right or wrong way to move.
You are simply invited to show up and be moved.
Check out this YouTube video of me explaining Conscious Dance.
Time: 7:30-9 pm (arrive by 7:15 pm)
Where: 42 Quebec St., 3rd floor, Guelph.
Cost: $20 cash at the door or e-transfer: breathetrue@gmail.com
I have danced with Barbara for two years now. She crafts exquisite musical journeys and skillfully invites a deeper exploration of movement, feeling, sense, and space. She is a true gift to the conscious dance community here in Guelph.

Guided Meditation Instruction
On-Going
Join me for a private or small group session where you will be gently guided through the foundations of meditation.
Meditation is the practice of becoming fully present—learning to quiet the mind and gently observe what is within.
Through this process, we begin to recognize and release habitual patterns that create stress, tension, and disconnection.
You will learn how to:
-
prepare your body and space
-
sit comfortably and with ease
-
focus and steady your attention
-
develop a sustainable, personal practice
These sessions are designed to help you feel more:
-
calm and relaxed
-
focused and present
-
grounded and resilient

Wisdom of the Guides
On-Going
Wisdom of the Guides is a heart-opening, ceremonial experience for individuals or small groups, guided by the plant medicine wisdom of sacred cacao and traditional hapé.
Each 1.5-hour gathering weaves ritual, intention-setting, oracle cards, meditation, prayer, and journaling to create a reverent space for clarity, connection, and meaningful inner exploration.
Both Hapé & Ceremonial Cacao:
-
Enhance mood elevation, creativity, and mental focus.
-
Release stagnant, stuck emotions that weigh us down.
-
Increase mental focus and clarity.
-
Cultivate inner peace and calmness.
-
Connects us to our higher selves.
-
Assists in meditation, self-reflection and emotional healing.
My cacao is ceremonial-grade and ethically sourced from Guatemala and Peru, and my hape tobacco is from Brazil, sourced from Four Visions in Colombia.

Reiki & Chakra Balancing
On-Going
This session combines meditation and the ancient chakra system. This unique healing modality includes intention setting, Reiki, placement of specific gemstones on the body, recitation of the 7 sacred vowel sounds, and sound healing.
The word chakra is Sanskrit for "wheel or disk" and refers to both the physiological functions within the body and the psychological energies that we experience as humans. They form an ancient and profound lens for personal awareness and transformation.
In this 1.5-hour private session, I will guide you through a series of beautiful, insightful practices designed to help you relax, clear your energy field, and gain personal clarity.

Private Sound Healing
On-Going
Sound healing penetrates a person's mind, emotions, and body to help bring them to states of deep relaxation. If you suffer from insomnia, anxiety, depression, or grief, this modality can help you to release and restore. Sound healing is also a wonderful way to simply treat yourself to a beautiful experience where you are bathed in drones, musical instruments, vocal toning, and vibrational frequencies that are known for their restorative qualities.
I offer several different thematic sound healing sessions. All are beautiful, deep, and extremely relaxing. Typically, a session takes 1.5 hours and the person leaves feeling rested and restored.
