Yoga

LiveFree with Karli is a movement of Holistic Healing & Sacred Gathering in alignment with Nature. My mission is to inspire and to create opportunities for self-discovery. To embrace all parts of the Self by calling in a relationship with our mind, body & spirit. And to align the natural rhythms in our bodies with the world around us for healing and exploration both on and off the mat.Freedom happens in the letting go.We all want to feel free.free to be, free to do, and free to live.We think we need more to achieve this freedom.More time, more money, more resources.But the funny thing about freedom, is that you’re already there.if you want to become free to live. you simply live to be free.You just have to let it all go and then there you are.Karli is the the founder of LiveFree with Karli and Medicine Nest, both of which have grown organically and blossomed into fruition through a series of magical unfoldings. What started as a curiosity for the human experience soon led Karli down a spiritual path of self-discovery and conscious living that captured her mind, body, heart & soul. She began to live a life of ritual and prayer, allowing herself to become an offering to life and those around her.It was through a global study of yoga, psychology, meditation, energy work, and the guidance of many great teachers that Karli came to a deeper understanding of life. From western depth psychology & shadow work to traditional and tantric yoga, shamanistic ritual & zen philosophies, her passion for navigating the spiritual and earthly realms of existence extends far and wide. She is an intuitive and holistic healer, who speaks through grounding earth-based modalities that help you reclaim the true healing wisdom that lies within yourself. From a sacred place within her heart, Karli invites individuals to better understand themselves, to heal themselves, and to free themselves from anything inhibiting their truest potential.I get my inspiration from Nature. The way the sun shines through the trees or the way it sparkles in the ocean water. The way incense smoke dances through the air and the way the moon lives in the evening sky. I want to remind people of the simple beauty in Nature. How this Nature outside, also exists within them.B.A. Psychology, C. Community Mental Health, Canada 2014Introduction to Ashtanga Yoga, Canada 2012Yoga for Stress Management, Canada 2013200 Hr.

Functional Medicine & Nutrition

Welcome! My name is Silvia, and I am a Registered Holistic Nutritionist. I have  been a practitioner of natural health and healing for as long as I can remember. Much of my determination for better health comes from a period in my early life where i struggled with health and emotional issues.  In my journey to wellness, I learned much about myself and what fuels un-wellness in so many of us. Subsequently, I found I wanted to help others in their health struggles,  by educating them and supporting them as much as I was able.  From that time on, natural nutrition and health has become a passion of mine.  Mainly self-taught, many years ago I made the decision to acquire accreditation , so that I could have the ability to teach others more authentically. I specialize in mental health and digestive wellness, and in educating you to understand the connection between the two in getting to your root cause. I also offer assistance with various other health concerns including weight management and blood sugar imbalances.In addition to  my nutrition training, I am certified as an Energy Practitioner and  Therapeutic Touch Practitioner. .I personally  incorporate and study different wellness modalities in my daily life, such as herbal Medicine,  meditation, and Yoga.   I love spending time in nature, especially  going on long hikes or early morning runs.  I love reading and researching all aspects of nutrition and wellness, with a good fiction book thrown in there at times for some balance! I currently live in Saltspring Island, BC, but am available for long-distance mentorship if needed.  My goal is to help you take charge of your health and wellness, and for me, that means, helping  you to be self-empowered , not feel like a victim. I honestly believe your body has the ability to re-balance itself, but it is up to us to give it the proper tools to do so. I hope to assist you on your journey to wellness. Best wishes,Silvia**I work with all kinds of diets and preferences; individualized programs are based on your needs

I didn’t stop.I soon discovered firsthand how important it was to take care of myself and take time to breath. I was more tired than usual and lost a significant amount of weight. Too busy to notice, too busy to care. Until I found a lump. I was given less than a year to live, and my chances of surviving stage 4 cancer were slim to none. I had to stop.I have always had an interest in finding natural ways our bodies can heal, now more than ever I needed to dig deep within and turn this interest into knowledge, this knowledge into power. I underwent my chemo, graciously appreciating Western medicine, but I also felt strongly that my body would survive, despite what I was told. I was then introduced to Eastern medicine through the hospital. When your power is taken away, you do what you can to fight for it back. And I did. I found that, although my body was not meant to survive, it did. My spirit not broken, my mind more intrigued than ever. I started fresh.I quit my job, I enrolled in school and discovered how my interest, was now my passion. I need to do my part and help others prevent from getting sick, keep connected with themselves and heal with preventative care through living a balanced life. My hematologist told me the cancer would return, I am happy to say, I am seven years cancer free. I attribute this to living a balanced, peaceful life filled with natural preventative care.I practice Qi Gong and meditation regularly and take time to live in my moment. I feel happy and I choose to live with peace, love and joy over stress and chaos. .

Acupuncture

What moves the blood through the circulatory system? What makes our hearts beat? Energy. Organ meridians have predictable flows of energy. For 5,000 years, Acupuncturists/ Acupressurists have studied how energy moves throughout the body and how the pathways follow a set pattern each 24 hour cycle. The pathways of energy are divided into 12 channels, or meridians according to the nature of energy flow from head to feet, feet to chest, chest to hands or hands to head. Chi flows through the body beginning with the lung channel of the hand and ends at the liver channel of the foot.Acu-points are 0.5-1 degree hotter  and have measurable electro-magnetic qualities. An acu-point has 10 times the level of adrenaline in the blood than the surrounding areas suggesting a link between meridians and endocrine gland regulation. The endocrine gland releases hormones which influence mood, regulation growth and development, tissue function, and metabolism, as well as sexual function and reproductive processes. The channels are named after the organs that they nourish and are outlined along with the time of day the energy is most active in the meridian.Each meridian mirrors itself on the opposite side of the body (except stomach, the only yang channel going down the front of the body) The energy flows through the meridians much like electricity flows through a copper wire circuit. These channels connect muscles, tissue, tendons, blood, marrowfrom torso to fingertip (along inside of arm–yin)from fingertip to face (along outside/back of arm–yang)from face to feet (along outside of leg–yang)from feet to torso (along inside of the leg–yin)Three times through this four-step process covers the twelve major meridians.Merdians 24 hour cycle and emotional manifestation of imbalance:1. LUNG MERIDIAN (3am – 5am); grief, intolerance2. LARGE INTESTINE MERIDIAN (5am – 7am); guilt3. STOMACH MERIDIAN (7am – 9am); disgust, greed4. SPLEEN MERIDIAN (9am – 11am); worry, anxiety about the future5. HEART MERIDIAN (11am – 1pm); joy, anger6. SMALL INTESTINE MERIDIAN (1pm – 3pm); insecurity, sadness7. BLADDER MERIDIAN (3pm – 5pm); fright, impatient, restless8. KIDNEY MERIDIAN (5pm – 7pm); fear, indecision9. PERICARDIUM (7pm – 9pm); hurt, extreme joy, jealousy, regret10. TRIPLE WARMER (9pm – 11pm); hopelessness, depression, despair11. GALL BLADDER MERIDIAN (11pm – 1am); rage, wrath12. LIVER MERIDIAN (1am – 3am); anger, unhappiness.
