Susie De Giusti

She is a testament to the power of self-reinvention and living life on one’s own terms. At the age of 43, she boldly embraced the chaos of her life, setting out on a transformative journey to rewrite her story. Determined to discover her own path and true self, she broke free from the societal expectations and habitual conditionings imposed on women from as early as conception.

By courageously releasing beliefs, stigmas, and fears that held her back, she chose to live an authentic life in the kickass manner she was meant to. She embodies the belief that we are born to embrace life, live our purpose, and be extraordinary, challenging the notion of settling for just being “fine.” Living authentically for her means shedding the fear of judgment and fully embracing one’s quirks, passions, and dreams, asserting that it’s never too late to pursue what truly brings fulfillment.

Rejecting age constraints and societal expectations is a daunting but achievable task, and rediscovering one’s true self can be an incredible transformative experience. In a world that often values conformity, she hopes to inspire other women who may feel trapped or stifed by societal norms and habitual conditioning. She advocates that it’s never too late to rewrite your story and live a kickass life on your own terms.

Her message is clear: get ready to shake up your mindset, rediscover your inner child, and choose authenticity over conformity, passion over complacency, and self-discovery over societal expectations. No matter your age, it’s time to rethink, reimagine, and reinvent yourself. She invites others to join her at the inaugural Gentle Whispers Retreat in October 2024, embarking on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment together.

Joanne Hughes

Meet Joanne, a fearless trailblazer who constantly pushes the boundaries of human potential. Guided by the whispers of her heart, Joanne fearlessly steps into the unknown, transforming fear into fuel for her journey.

As a shape-shifter of energy, Joanne believes in the profound power of mastering our energy. She passionately advocates that by harnessing our energy, we can halt the hands of time, rejuvenate our bodies, and manifest our deepest desires.

Joanne’s life took a transformative turn when faced with adversity.

Joanne’s path led her to the realms of energy healing and holistic wellness. She firmly believes in the connection between our thoughts and our health, advocating that we can heal our bodies through the mastery of our thoughts and energy.

Tommy Forsyth

Tommy Forsyth is deeply passionate about HEAL breathwork and the health of the nervous system. His journey of self-discovery and healing has led him to uncover incredible techniques that significantly reduce anxiety, balance nervous system capacity, and greatly enhance the overall quality of life.

In 2009, Tommy faced significant challenges, including drug and alcohol addiction, which even led to homelessness. However, he views this period not as a downfall but as a pivotal chapter in his life that paved the way for remarkable discoveries he eagerly shares with others.

During his transformative journey, Tommy organically discovered an amazing breathing technique he refers to as “dynamic breathwork.” This technique opened up a new universe for him, revealing the wealth of science-backed information on its profound impact on nervous system regulation. It was a pivotal moment that not only improved his health practice but also enabled him to navigate through suppressed emotions, severe anxiety, and panic attacks that he had struggled with for years.

Already a certified NLP Life Coach and Heart Math meditation guide, integrating this specific type of breathwork into his practice marked a new milestone in nervous system health and personal growth. This integration proved to be life-changing for Tommy.

Now, he is dedicated to spreading joy and inspiration, helping others discover their inner joy and live an anxiety-free life. Together with his clients, Tommy emphasizes the importance of filling every moment with intention and, importantly, with purposeful breaths.

Sharon Carne

Sharon Carne, a best-selling author, international speaker, accomplished musician, recording artist, master sound healer, mother, grandmother, and evolving elder, stands at the forefront of the sound healing movement. Her journey into the realm of sound began with a pivotal role as a facilitator in a comprehensive study on stress at the Integrative Health Institute at Mount Royal University, leading to the inception of Sound Wellness in 2008. This initiative later evolved into the Sound Wellness Institute in 2017, marking a significant milestone in her career.

Sharon’s contributions to holistic health and wellness through sound are profound. She has developed nationally recognized professional training programs for holistic practitioners, setting the highest standard of competency training in Canada for the integration of sound healing into therapeutic practices. Her innovative Emergent Workforce programs are designed to foster wellbeing in the workplace, reflecting her deep commitment to creating environments that support holistic health.

At the core of Sharon’s philosophy is the understanding that sound is a profound source of nourishment for the nervous system and the soul. She classifies sound into three categories: disruptive “junk” sound, like traffic noise; beneficial “good” sound, such as the calming effects of nature; and therapeutic “super” sound, which she harnesses in her healing practices.

Sharon’s signature sound bath sessions are a cornerstone of her work, offering an immersive experience that utilizes therapeutic “super sound” to promote deep relaxation, calm the nervous system, and stimulate the body’s healing hormones. This unique form of sound therapy not only supports physical and mental wellbeing but also opens the heart and soul to deeper self-exploration and connection.

Through her pioneering efforts and dedication, Sharon Carne invites individuals to discover the transformative power of sound. Her work illuminates a path to wellness that harmonizes the body, mind, and spirit, showcasing the limitless potential of sound as a medium for healing and personal growth.
