The Membership Portal
You don’t have to do it alone.
Welcome to The Essence of You Membership Portal: a community of women who want to understand themselves more deeply, live more authentically, and keep growing long after the retreat, workshop or therapy session ends.
Sometimes we have a powerful experience that opens something up in us, and then we go back to everyday life. The insight is still there, but the space to explore it is gone. This membership was created to give you a place to keep going.
Here, you can slow down, reconnect with yourself, explore what’s coming up, and be supported by a community of women who are doing the same. Whether you’re moving through a difficult season, wanting to break old patterns, deepen your relationships, grow in your work, or simply feel more like yourself, this is a space for you.
Inside the membership, you’ll find:
Live monthly experiential sessions exploring meaningful topics that support you personally and professionally
A growing library of trauma-informed workshops, videos, meditations and practices you can access whenever you need them
Monthly Book Club, included free with your membership, with thoughtful discussion and reflection designed to deepen your understanding of yourself
An annual in-person gathering to connect, reflect and experience the community beyond the screen
A community of women to learn, grow and share alongside
Exclusive member pricing on retreats and special events
The work we do here isn't about becoming someone different. It's about becoming more connected to who you already are underneath the patterns, expectations and protective parts that have shaped you.
And the goal isn't simply to have insights. It's to integrate them into your everyday life — how you relate, how you lead, how you make decisions, how you set boundaries, how you navigate change, and how you show up in the world.
If you're not ready for the full membership, you can also purchase individual workshops and explore the library at your own pace.
But if you're looking for something ongoing — a place to return to yourself, keep learning, and grow in community with other women — I’d love to have you join us.

Membership Portal
A supportive community for those longing to reconnect with themselves, deepen self-trust, and live with greater authenticity, empowerment, and inner clarity. The membership offers ongoing guidance, meaningful conversation, and compassionate support as you navigate growth and change. Through live integration sessions, trauma-informed workshops, guided practices, and meaningful connection, you’ll deepen your relationship with yourself and create a life aligned with your authentic self.
Why join the membership?
Growth becomes more powerful when we have space to return to the work again and again — to notice what’s changing, explore what’s coming up, and practice new ways of being in real life.
Each month, you’ll have two opportunities to connect live: our monthly experiential group with Jen Reddish, Registered Master Therapeutic Counsellor, and our Book Club discussion group. The monthly group explores topics that support you personally, while the Book Club gives you another opportunity to deepen your understanding of yourself through thoughtful conversation and shared exploration.
Through guided reflection, meaningful conversation and experiential practices, you’ll deepen self-awareness, strengthen self-trust and develop a more grounded relationship with yourself.
You’ll also have access to a growing library of trauma-informed workshops, guided meditations, practices and reflective resources that you can explore whenever you need them.
Once a year, we’ll also come together in person for an annual member gathering — an opportunity to step away from everyday life, connect more deeply and experience the community beyond the screen.
Perhaps most importantly, you’ll have a community of women to grow and learn with — women who are asking deeper questions, challenging old patterns and creating lives that feel more aligned with who they are becoming.
This membership is for you if you are seeking:
✓ A supportive community where you feel connected and understood
✓ Ongoing opportunities for reflection, growth, and self-discovery
✓ Tools to strengthen self-trust, emotional awareness, and nervous system regulation
✓ A space to continue integrating meaningful personal work into your daily life
✓ Support in reconnecting with your authentic self and living with greater empowerment
The Essence of You Membership is a supportive, educational, and integrative space. It is not a substitute for individual psychotherapy or crisis support, and does not replace clinical treatment where needed.

The Essence of You Book Club:
Exploring No Bad Parts
Join us for a deeper exploration of No Bad Parts by Richard Schwartz, the foundational book introducing Internal Family Systems (IFS) — an approach that invites us to understand ourselves with greater compassion, curiosity, and connection.
Together, we’ll explore the different parts of ourselves, the protective patterns that have shaped us, and the wisdom that emerges when we meet ourselves with openness rather than judgment.
Through meaningful conversation, reflection, and community connection, we’ll create space to understand ourselves more deeply, embrace all parts of who we are, and discover new pathways toward healing, integration, and self-trust.
This is more than reading a book — it’s an invitation to transform the way you relate to yourself.
Our book club is an exclusive offering for members of The Essence of You Membership Portal. Join below to get access to the book club and all features outlined above.
1st meeting November 4th
Self-Paced Workshops
Nervous System Reset
Feeling triggered, stressed, or overwhelmed? This short but powerful workshop gives you practical tools to calm your body, regulate your nervous system, and reconnect with your Self-energy — that calm, grounded, compassionate presence within you.
Through polyvagal-informed techniques, Somatic Awareness, Internal Family Systems (IFS) and other therapeutic modaliaties, you’ll learn to recognize when your system is activated, bring safety back into your body, and create the conditions for integration and lasting change.
You’ll receive a downloadable handout with grounding practices and reflection prompts to help you continue this work anytime, anywhere.
Empowered Boundaries: Reclaim Your Voice
In this workshop, you’ll learn how to identify personal triggers and recognize unhealthy dynamics; including codependent patterns, so you can clearly see which boundaries need to be set.
You’ll explore how to create and maintain both spoken and unspoken boundaries and practice effective communication techniques for expressing them, even in challenging situations.
We’ll also cover how to navigate expectations from family, friends, and colleagues, and how to connect with triggered inner parts, such as the inner child, to transform past experiences into present empowerment.
Communication Skills for Respectful & Empowered Relationships
By the end of this workshop, you will understand yourself, your parts, and your communication style on a deeper level. You’ll learn to recognize how triggers, core beliefs, and body sensations shape your interactions, and you’ll be introduced to actionable strategies for communicating assertively and respectfully from a grounded sense of Self.
We’ll explore how to build stronger, more authentic connections while protecting your energy, and how to use somatic practices to ground, discharge, and re-anchor into Self energy. Throughout the workshop, you’ll also practice staying empowered while navigating difficult conversations and potential conflict.
Coming Soon: Annual Member Gathering
A special opportunity for The Essence of You community to connect beyond the screen.
Each year, members will be invited to gather in person for an evening of connection, reflection, and conversation. This gathering is a chance to meet fellow members, share experiences, deepen relationships, and celebrate the journey we are on together.
As we continue exploring self-awareness, growth, and authentic living, this time together offers an opportunity to experience the community in a more personal way and strengthen the connections that make this membership meaningful.
Gathering Location in West Bragg Creek.
A special member benefit included with your membership.
