Ignite your light.
Mental health support and somatic movement practices for navigating moments of profound transition.
Counselling
We spend much of our lives in the doing rather than the being of our humanness. And then one day, when we finally feel like adults, some unanticipated shift happens. Peri/menopause. A break-up. A job loss. Divorce. Retirement. Illness. Injury. An empty nest. An aging parent. An unexpected attraction. A new love. We find ourselves questioning the very essence of our identities.
Who am I, now that I am not that?
What is my purpose?
What comes next?
I am committed to collaborating with you to unravel the answers to these deeply personal inquiries while also exploring the integrated contexts that inform your distinct worldview.
Yoga
When we attune to on our inner landscape, we heighten awareness of our physical, emotional, and spiritual selves. Yoga teaches us to move mindfully - with humility, with strength, with compassion, with intention, with grace – not only on our mats, but through our lives.
I believe we are capable of igniting a revolution from within. On our mats, we practice not just the physical asanas. We practice loving ourselves. We practice honouring our limitations, and exploring our unlimited potential. We practice accessing harmony within ourselves. When we emerge from our yoga practice as renewed human beings, we radiate peace, ready to create an upward spiral that may unite us all.
In my every permutation, one thread has remained constant: my inclination to ignite the light in others. So much so that when the time came to reclaim my identity and change my surname, I chose “Luz” (pronounced “Looz”), the Spanish and Filipino word for light.
As a team leader, I shone the light on my team, guiding them to next steps.
As a branding and marketing consultant, I shone the light on small businesses.
As a boutique owner, I shone the light on small scale makers doing good in the world.
As a mentor and educator, I shine the light on newer yoga teachers.
As a yoga teacher, I shine the light on my students.
And now, as a fledgling therapist*, I shine the light on YOU. I endeavour to ignite a spark and fan your flames so you can navigate forward with curiosity, compassion, and courage through moments of significant transition: career change, retirement, peri/menopause, heartbreak, new love, empty-nesting, illness, injury, caring for aging parents, and profound loss.

A sister series to Embodied Wisdom: Principles and Practices for the Peri/Menopausal Transition**, this 4-week group workshop is a deep dive into the elusiveness of sleep and what we can do about it.
From the coziness of our own sacred spaces, we will explore evidence-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) and somatic therapeutic approaches to transform your relationship to sleep, develop daily rituals and habits to prepare your body and mind for the transition to rest, and immerse ourselves in breathwork, restorative yoga, and yoga nidra to calm the nervous system.
**While so many peri/menopausal folks experience sleep disturbances, all who suffer from sleeplessness are welcome.
