Somatic education, breathwork, and expressive arts therapy to support nervous system balance, emotional clarity, and resilience — through whatever you're navigating.

Roxana Mares

Decades of practice.
One coherent lens.

I'm Roxana — a somatic educator, yoga teacher (E-RYT 500), martial artist, breathwork and meditation guide, and Expressive Arts Therapist in Training at CREATE Institute in Toronto.

My path started in martial arts and meditation as a child. I went on to study Anatomy and Physiology at the University of Toronto, and have spent over 20 years training and teaching across somatic education, yoga therapy, breathwork, Yin, Restorative, and Ayurveda.

What I've found is that the body holds more wisdom than we give it credit for. My work is about helping you access that — not through analysis, but through felt experience.

This work is slow,
sustainable, and real.

Calmer & Clearer

More grounded in your body. More connected to your emotions. More spacious inside — less reactive, more able to respond.

Safer Inside Yourself

A felt sense of inner security that doesn't depend on external circumstances. Confidence in your own nervous system.

More Yourself

Reconnected with your voice, your intuition, and your inner guidance. Patterns of overwhelm, freeze, or self-doubt begin to soften.
