About the Holding Space

The Holding Space Wellness Collective was created from a simple but powerful intention: to build a space where people feel supported, connected, and grounded, in themselves and in community.

Rooted in Northern Ontario, we are inspired by the strength of rock, the depth of water, and the openness of sky. We believe healing does not happen in isolation. It happens when people gather. When practitioners are supported. When space is held with care.

Our aim is to create more than a studio. We are cultivating a shared wellness home, a collaborative environment where yoga teachers, movement educators, and wellness practitioners can grow sustainable businesses while contributing to something larger than themselves.

At the heart of our work is community.

We are committed to fostering an atmosphere of inclusion, professionalism, and mutual respect. A place where practitioners collaborate rather than compete. Where nervous systems can soften. Where learning, practice, and conversation unfold naturally.

Through classes, workshops, trainings, and gatherings, we hope to create opportunities for meaningful connection, not just between teacher and student, but among neighbors, families, and fellow seekers across Northern Ontario.

The Holding Space is built on steadiness, integrity, and shared vision.

We are here to hold space - for practice, for growth, and for one another.

Hi, I’m a Reiki Master with 15 years of energy work experience. I offer Reiki sessions out of my home studio but in this space, I recognize that movement, fun and laughter is life. Having fun, encouraging and empowering others and experiencing this in community is my happy place. (I trust it will be yours too) I offer CONSCIOUS DANCE. This is dance movement paired with meditation, mindfulness, emotional release and physical wellness through non-choreographed movement. WEEKLY DANCE PARTY - WE JUST DANCE! We focus on connecting! Not just connecting breath with motion, but creating wellbeing in community. I believe we are Better Together! Love Stannis

Fat Sassy Spiritualist

Blessings Magical Beings! I'm Stephanie, the magic behind 'Fat Sassy Spiritualist' & the founder of 'Witchcraft Without Bullsh*t'! I'm nerospicy, queer, psychic, feminist, witch, & full of sass! I have a no nonsense approach, as do my ancestors who pop into everything I create. I'm about holding inclusive, sacred spaces for transformations to alchemize. I'm also about embracing our badass selves fully & unapologetically. Whether you attend a class, have a reading, or come to the circle, you will walk away with inner insight. Magick doesn't need to be created from nothing, for it already lies within you. Sometimes we just need a reminder that we ARE the magick.

Caitlin offers a range of experiences including: intentional ceremonial time, embodied movement, sound circles and birth preparation/integration classes.
