Meet Ally

Hi, I'm Ally!

I used to be a very different person. Like many of us, I was raised to strive for external validation (financial status, stable career, societally worthy in every sense). Additionally, I learned to avoid experiencing or expressing “negative emotions” like anger, grief, or sadness and got really good at putting on a bubbly and positive persona.

This was my conditioning to experience life in a way that I “should” or was “supposed” to want. This manifested as a highly perfectionistic personality, constantly striving for good grades and praise in ballet. I learned to be highly critical of myself which led me to be judgmental of myself and others. I adopted a sarcastic coping mechanism to deflect compliments or be “real” and this prevented me from having honest relationships which lacked depth, trust and intimacy.

I was essentially cut off from myself and my true feelings which constantly left me searching and seeking outside of myself for something to make me feel good. This was a dead-end approach, but one I am forever grateful for.

As I sought new experiences “to make me happy” I fell in love, hard. When my first romantic relationship ended this devastated me as I had put my entire worth on being chosen by this person. I found myself crying on a beach in Australia, feeling completely alone and unwanted. This was the collapse I needed to build myself back up, this time with a more authentic foundation.

Without fully knowing it at the time, my journey of ‘unlearning’ limiting beliefs and false narratives had begun. I dove into self-reflection, journaling, yoga, meditation, energy healing and then breathwork.

This simple yet profoundly effective practice brought me to states of deep sadness then immense bliss and joy, carrying me through the unintegrated aspects of myself to arrive home to love. Breathwork has given me a portal into deep connection with myself and the universe and offered me a path to unlock the truth of who I’ve always been.

The path has been messy, but I have found peace and solace in my worth just as I am, loving and whole. As I continue to practice breathwork I am learning how to show up fully in life as myself.

I am deeply passionate and dedicated to inner transformation to help myself and others live more authentic and rich lives. I am in awe of the depths of this human experience as I continue my own inner journey and hold space for others to release what is no longer serving them. I am honoured to be a part of your transformation into your true nature as beings of love and light.

Background

Ally grew up dancing competitively as a ballet, contemporary, and jazz dancer. She then completed her bachelor's degree in Kinesiology at UBC, graduating in 2019. Ally has worked extensively with children and youth, and she carries this playful energy into everything she does. Ally is trained as a pilates instructor, gymnastics instructor, and Breathwork Facilitator.

While working as a Kinesiologist, Ally found her passion in the psychosomatic (mind-body) aspect of pain in the human body. Ally's scope of specific interest is in the way we store energy and emotions in our body, which get attached to beliefs we adopt when we are imprinting from our parents. Ally uses her awareness of movement, the body, and energetics to assist in releasing old ways that free up our body from pain, and release our mind from fear and self-judgement.

Ally finds her joy in connecting deeply with people! Ally is not afraid of taboo topics, and dares to venture into the unknown in the pursuit of alchemising our differences in this shared experience of life!
