Music and voice as medicine for the heart. What is music healing? Music healing is a practice that uses sound, voice and presence to support emotional healing, inner connection, and transformation. Through relaxation, intuitive vocals, chants, and live instruments, the body is guided into a deeply relaxed and receptive state. In this space, the mind softens, the nervous system settles, and emotions that may have been held or suppressed can begin to surface and move. Rather than analyzing or forcing change, music healing invites you to feel and experience. Sound becomes a language beyond words, one that can reach the emotional body directly, allowing tension to release and new awareness to emerge. A central part of this work is reconnecting with past versions of the self. Through guided visualization and music, you may be invited to revisit memories or moments from the past, not to relive them, but to meet them differently with presence, compassion, and support. In these moments, music becomes a bridge. It allows love, understanding, and forgiveness to enter spaces that may have once felt closed or unresolved. As the experience shifts, so does the way it is held within the body. This process gently rewires the relationship to the past, allowing old emotional patterns to soften and creating space for a new inner response. Over time, this can bring a greater sense of clarity, emotional freedom, and connection to self. Music healing is not about fixing or erasing what has been; it is about changing how we relate to it while being held by the power of sound. It is a return to the body, to feeling, and to the deeper intelligence within, where healing can unfold naturally.

LESLEY FORNELLI I'm Lesley! I'm a mom to two boys, an EFT/ Tapping practitioner, advanced numerologist, intuitive and elementary school teacher. My family and I live on the west coast of BC, Canada. After going to university for close to a decade (!!), living overseas, traveling Asia extensively and establishing my teaching career, we moved to the suburbs to start a family. As I tried to settle into the life I thought I wanted, I found myself in a perpetual state of overwhelm and exhaustion, leading me  to my "f**k this life" moment. This was the moment that changed everything for me. I was spread so thin, trying to do everything for everyone and falling short at it all. I completely hit a wall.  ​ This is when I started my healing journey. I started hiring coaches,  stopped living my life to please others and started to live the life I desired. ​ My journey has introduced me to many powerful healing tools. Energetic tools are the ones that I have gravitated to because of their instant and profound healing power I experienced.   My own self-development journey inspired me to start supporting women and moms on theirs.   And I'm so thankful I did! I've been supporting women with grief, trauma, loss, divorce, guilt, shame, dreams, and desires (to name a few).  find Leslie and connect with Leslie IG: https://www.instagram.com/_lesleyfornelli_/ Website: https://www.lesleyfornelli.com/home-1 Raya Karin : Website: www.rayaswellness.com IG : https://www.instagram.com/raya_karin/ FB : https://www.facebook.com/raya.karin.7/ Linkedin : https://www.linkedin.com/in/raya-karin-leith-12348b181/

Trina Cary | Photographer, Visionary, Wild Soul Born under the bold Leo sun and raised in the remote wilds of Northern British Columbia, I was taught to be strong like the men, tender like the land, and creative enough to entertain myself with only nature and imagination as my playground. As a Projector in Human Design, I see what others often miss; the quiet in-between, the fleeting moments, the truth under the surface. Photography found me early and never let go. It’s how I express, heal, and make sense of the world. For over 12 years, I’ve been capturing real, raw, radiant moments; from barefoot dockside sunsets in the Okanagan to salt-soaked coastlines on Vancouver Island, to sacred love stories and life shifts across the globe. But the wilderness is in my blood.  I’m the third-generation owner and operator of Scoop Lake Outfitters and Denetiah Lake Lodge—a fly-in-only, 2.2-million-acre slice of heaven where the grizzlies still roam and the horses we raised graze freely into old age. It’s not just my family’s legacy—it’s my heart. I will spend my life doing everything I can to keep it alive. My work is more than photography. It’s about being present. Being seen. Being felt. I want our time together to feel like coming home to yourself. Whether you’re tangled in golden light or standing in the storm, your story deserves to be held with reverence. I’m based between Kelowna and Vancouver Island, but always down for an adventure. If you feel the pull, follow it—I’ll meet you there Let’s create something unforgettable www.denetiah.com⁠  ⁠https://www.amazon.ca/Lessons-Sun-Trina-Cary/dp/B0DFMRZ72L⁠the link to my book. phone:  1.250.681.1147 web:     trinacaryphotography.com blog:     trinacaryphotography.com/blog insta:    instagram.com/trinacaryphotography fcbk:     facebook.com/trinacaryphotographyConnect with Raya Karin: website: www.rayaswellness.com IG: https://www.instagram.com/raya_karin/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/raya.karin.7 Linked In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/raya-karin-leith-12348b181/
