Manuela Canova

I am a woman who loves to TRAVEL throughout the world as well as within her own history. I have been TEACHING German and English for more than 30 years in the Italian-speaking part of Switzerland (my home country). I have been married and I have two adult children. I love NATURE and all forms of BEAUTY: I try to welcome and treasure all that life wants to offer me. A childhood and youth marked by major BAD LOSSES has undermined my self-confidence, affecting my RELATIONSHIPS, my ability to love and feel loved. Indeed, an early loss of loved ones is often experienced as guilt, and declining SELF-ESTEEM, as well as emotional overload. States of ANXIETY and DEPRESSION can be the consequence. My DISSATISFACTION has become an invitation for me to look for a key in order to open myself more confidently to life. LISTEN TO YOUR BODY was my first response, and I turned to experience body expression, at first through theatre workshops, followed by various therapy-seminars, which led to a training in DANCE THERAPY completed in 2006. Coming across THE JOURNEY® was the second important response: right after the first experience, I was struck by the strength of this method in guiding me to the very center of myself where I could feel at home again. I immediately enrolled in the full training, which I completed in 2012.

It is my greatest desire to INSPIRE CONFIDENCE in as many people as possible as they are fulfilling their pursuit of a more conscious and peaceful life.
