Inner Compass Academy

For the messy middle of being human

About

You Don’t Need Another Place to Be “Fine.”

Most of us have spent years—maybe decades—holding it all together.

Smiling even when our insides trembled.
Swallowing the lump in our throat.
Nodding, functioning, coping, doing what needed to be done.

We became masters at being “okay.”
At performing strength.
At pretending the heaviness didn’t hurt.

But the truth is…

You were never meant to carry the full weight of being human alone.

You were never meant to silence your needs, your emotions, your instincts..

At some point, each of us stops and realizes:

“I’ve been holding my breath for years.”
“I don’t even know who I am under all this.”
“Something deep inside me is asking to be felt.”

This is the moment your Inner Compass wakes up.

And that’s where our work begins.

What I Really Do Here

At Inner Compass Academy, I don’t ask you to be more positive, more spiritual, more disciplined, or more “fixed.”

I ask you to be real.

To feel what you feel.
To soften instead of push.
To unravel instead of tighten.
To let the armour fall away, piece by piece.

I help you remember the you beneath the conditioning—beneath the pressure to be nice, calm, capable, together.

I help you meet the parts of you that:

✨ feel messy
✨ feel too much
✨ feel lost or lonely
✨ feel tired of being the strong one
✨ feel like screaming or collapsing or sleeping for a week
✨ feel ready to finally be seen
✨ feel ready to finally be held

Because your feelings aren’t flaws—they’re doorways.

Your anger is a boundary you swallowed.
Your grief is love with nowhere to go.
Your anxiety is a body that’s been carrying too much.
Your numbness is a heart that learned to protect you.
Your exhaustion is your soul asking for truth.

You are not broken.
You are becoming.

The Approach: Healing the Whole Human

We can't separate the mind from the body.
We can't separate emotions from intuition.
We can't separate your story from your symptoms.

Everything is connected—and so is this work.

Our sessions weave together:

BodyTalk & intuitive healing
Somatic attunement & nervous system regulation
Belief system work & human behavior patterns
Emotional release (anger, grief, overwhelm, shame)
Hands-on work: Cupping, somatic massage therapy, reflexology, lymphatic drainage & energetic clearing
Movement medicine & sound healing
Compassionate witnessing & connection-based healing

The intention in everything is to:

Create safety.

In your body.
In your emotions.
In your relationships.
In your inner world.

Because safety is the soil where healing finally happens.

When your system feels safe, it can:

✨ unravel
✨ release
✨ feel
✨ process
✨ integrate
✨ and come back online

This is the moment you start to feel like yourself again.

Inner Compass Academy is a sanctuary for the ones who are tired of pretending.

A home for deep-feeling, big-hearted humans who crave:

✨ honesty over performance
✨ depth over small talk
✨ connection over coping
✨ softness over survival mode
✨ being held instead of holding it all

In this space, you don’t need to shrink.
You don’t need to hide your anger or hold back your tears.
You don’t need to stay strong or polished or spiritually tidy.

You get to be human — fully, loudly, tenderly, unapologetically.

Here, you can exhale.
You can crumble.
You can rage.
You can soften.
You can feel.
You can be met.
You can be held.
You can be seen in the ways you’ve always needed.

I'll hold space to help you:

✨ remember who you are beneath the expectations
✨ rebuild the trust in yourself that you gave away
✨ stop gaslighting your own feelings
✨ break free from the invisible cages you learned to live inside
✨ express what you’ve been holding for years
✨ thaw your heart
✨ reclaim your joy, intuition, and aliveness
✨ create a life that feels like you — not who you were told to be
✨ feel safe enough to be fully, authentically human

Because healing isn’t about ascending.
It’s about arriving:
In your body.
In your truth.
In your life.
In your self.

You're right on time.

Your soul is tired of being dimmed.
Your body is tired of carrying unspoken emotions.
Your mind is tired of trying to logic its way through pain.

You’re here because something deep inside you is ready—
ready to be witnessed, ready to be supported,
ready to move the energy that’s been stuck for too long.

You’re craving connection, clarity, and true alignment.
You want to feel grounded in your body, connected to your truth, and free from the patterns that keep you looping.

You’re not here by accident.
You’re here because you’re on the edge of a new chapter—and your body knows it.

I've got your back.

Ask yourself what makes you come alive.

And then go do it.

Because the world needs more people who have come alive."

"I love working with Kristin. She's incredible! Her studio in Warman is amazing, it's so nice and comforting to visit. I first started seeing her for massage and BodyTalk, and have recently taken the Mindscape course through her. She's really helped me to expand and grow over the last few years."

- Kara Davis,

Enviromental Scientist & BodyTalk Practitioner

"After meeting Kristin at her Mindscape course in Ottawa, I embarked on a series of distance BodyTalk treatments. The combination of practicing Mindscape and having treatments is quite powerful. I am starting to see my life so much more vividly - and I'm amazed at how I can explore to expand the confines of my own mind! Mindscape and BodyTalk have been the most intense and amazing journey."

-Andrea Wood,

"I have been working with Kristin for a few years now, and she does such a great job explaining what she is interpreting to help you understand yourself. I have seen some amazing results. I used to suffer from panic attacks and its been over a year and a half now since I have had one. Anytime that I am in need, she is there willing to help me out! I have had her work on my children and I have seen great results with them as well. Thanks so much for doing such an amazing job!"
