GROUPS- GENERAL
“Candace, you have this way of being- you are just so joyful and it's radiating out of you, like a light. I want more connection with that. Your way of being is, I think, instrumental to to people of understanding the healing journey- how you could go from being really sick and feeling so crappy every single day to being so joyful and so vibrant. Being able to look at you as an example and be like, it is possible for me to be that joyous is inspiring in and of itself.
I also thought it was a fantastic value. It was the same amount of money for an hour a week for four weeks as I would pay for a 55 minutes session with a one-on-one mentor. It was a really affordable way for me to get some more personalized attention and... kind of iron out things that I was struggling with. There's a lot of value in having classmates and listening to their experiences too.”

"I thought the support was really, really great. It's so easy just to feel so isolated. To get in there and hear other people…. I was like, 'Hey, I'm not alone in this.’
Also, being able to hear other people and see other people's process... It was really, really helpful. I got out of it more than I expected, for sure."

“I loved hearing what other people shared.”

Oh my gosh, it was so amazing! That just changed my ABC, changed the way I look at it, and how I do it. Wow, so powerful. It's been a huge shift. I look at it in such a different way.”
(With the ABC practice…) I wasn't really getting out of it what I wanted to get out of it. It's almost a totally different exercise for me right now. This series brought it so much more life. I truly believe that this is where my healing piece is.”

“I got a lot of really good ideas and insight from the other people in the group."

SOMATICS
“My somatic experience with Candace was incredible. The stretching we started with immediately softened my body and allowed for more space. I was able to feel my feelings and acknowledge sensations in my body without trying to escape them but being with them and then the movement allowed them to move and process instead of staying stuck.
I felt so much lighter and not so tense and tangled. While the music was playing I felt certain words resonate with my body and even some tears came up but they were tears of release. All of this gentle movement caused a huge shift, like this new way of healing could actually be my future. In that present moment everything didn’t feel so heavy, I actually felt free and even giggled a little which is really rare for me.
It was such an amazing experience. It feels sometimes that my mind only allows for me to remember the bad and that’s the only thing that feels familiar. But during this session with Candace my mind actually remembered the sound of laughing and the feeling of slowing down and in that moment it also felt familiar. So now I have this experience to come back to, going forward, to access something familiar that also feels good.”

"I've really been enjoying the sessions and getting connected to my body in a new way. I love having "permission" to prioritize self care! I'm sad that there's only one more session left!”

ABC

~ Lauren
“That felt really good when you were so encouraging. I found the baby steps to be really helpful. It felt so freeing to realize- if you do just this little bit, it counts. In the past, if I didn’t have a lot of time to practice, I would have been like, oh, I don't have time to do it. Now I'm like, nope, now I can do a short one and it's fine. It doesn't have to be so rigid.”
