"Áine's ability to hold space, adapt to what I needed in the moment, and create a container of safety was remarkable. She supported my shift from profound grief to a lighter and more centered place of resilience with the blend of Thai bodywork, mindful movement, music, sound bowls and verbal guidance. I am grateful for the care, presence, and compassion Áine brought to this truly transformative session"

-Jan, Integrative Session Client

"Áine is a caring and wonderful somatic practitioner who creates a safe and nurturing space. I feel deeply seen and supported in my sessions with her. She teaches me to listen to my body rather than forcing my body into poses or movements. Her teaching style emphasizes compassion and mindful awareness, helping me to cultivate both physical ease and emotional resilience. Áine adapts sessions to meet individual needs and honors the uniqueness of every body and every journey. I always leave the sessions feeling grounded and more connected. Beyond movement, she weaves in breathwork, massage and singing bowls. Áine is a master teacher and I am lucky to have found her."

-Da, Integrative Session Client

"Áine's reliably calm, intuitive and deeply personalized approach to her Integrative Embodiment Sessions teaches, supports and empowers me to want to keep working joyfully on myself for more ease and flow with my body and life as they are."

-Tina, Integrative Session Client

My Path back to the Fire

Hello, I'm Áine ('awn-ya')

I am a creative soul that has experimented with many paths including theatre, music, art and clothing design. I've worked many jobs to support my creative endeavors, from custom framing, to landscaping, to educational programming at a botanical garden.

My formal training and education includes:

  • Bachelor of Fine Arts, UBC (2004)

  • 200 hr Yoga Teacher Training (2015)

  • Fitness Theory and Group Fitness (2017)

  • 60 hr Restorative Yoga Teacher Training (2020)

  • Clinical Somatic Exercise Teacher Level 2 (2020)

  • Northern Style Thai Yoga Massage (2022)

  • Deep Flow Foundations (2023)

  • Dance as Medicine (2025)

I’d like to go beyond a standard bio and share my meandering story with you. Why? Because you are allowed to change and experiment. As a creative being, you may be feeling the heaviness of the day-to-day grind of modern life and feel as though your inner fire has died out permanently. It's my hope my story will ignite a little spark in you, to begin that shift your soul has been craving.
