Samantha Baldwin
Samantha Baldwin is an eclectic witch who has displayed psychic gifts since childhood. Although she avoided these gifts until adulthood, she is now actively embracing them. Samantha is a Tarotist, Akashic reader, sound healer and writer who is passionate about guiding women into the underworld to integrate their shadows and activate their womb power. During her time as a yoga Teacher, she began playing Alchemy bowls for her students, she also started playing them on the bodies of her Reiki clients. Samantha discovered her yoga students were able to drop into their practice on a deeper level without the "monkey mind" and her Reiki clients were able to release unwanted energy at a rapid, yet gentle rate. She has gone on to study the science of sound and teach people how the power of their own voices is the most powerful sound healing tool! Samantha teaches how sound and our pelvic floors relate and that if we release trauma, we free our voices. Samantha's collection of crystal alchemy bowls has grown and she has gone "on tour" to play countless sound baths all over Alberta as well as co-facilitates sound healing retreats.

Todd Moroz
Todd is passionate about guiding people on their path to health and wellness through meditation and sound to help release physical and mental stress while embracing a holistically spiritual path. After spending several years practicing meditation as a means to balance his own life and manage personal traumas which plagued him throughout his life, he sought to learn more as a means to share this gift with others. This led him to completing his Meditation Instruction and Holistic Counselling course, and he is also a Sound Healing & Reiki Practitioner. Todd is currently embracing this gift and sharing with many others by initiating meditation clubs at work and being a leader in emotional intelligence. In addition, he is also a huge advocate of shedding the stigma on men’s mental and emotional health and is leading a Men’s Meditation and Wellness Club; The ShaMen Tribe.

Theresa White
Theresa White (Siri Hari Kaur) - Over the years, my personal experience and wisdom gained from my own journey is what I bring into my teaching. For each of us to be present in life we need to understand and recognize what keeps us from fully participating and showing up for ourselves. To fully show up, I believe we remain students, always ready to receive a lesson and continue the search to grow and contribute to making this life the best it can possibly be.
