In our moments of pain and suffering, we can shift our attention from cycling back through our traumas to opening up to others in the present. If we can challenge ourselves to really hear someone’s words and feel their pain, we can help them with their burdens. This is where we can go in moments of trauma, and this is where we can choose to arrive in the moments that follow. It’s not a direct path. It’s a rocky road to navigate. But it is necessary if we want to move beyond survival to genuine happiness. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56046d01e4b0f8ec46c0109b/1616039448457-U954BC25OT93DT0GI00I/systemic.racism.youth.mind.png Press - YOUTH MIND MAG | SHINEAD OROTAL | October, 2020 Selam Debs and Carla Beharry, co-creators of The Anti-Racism Community Collective (ARCC), believe that it is imperative that everyone — young people included — should be educated on systemic racism in Canada, in order to continue to make change. “That is systemic racism: Being comfortable with looking around and seeing white-only spaces, white boardrooms, white judges, white lawyers, just a whole sea of white people around you and that doesn’t trigger something inside of you to go ‘Oh, something needs to change.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56046d01e4b0f8ec46c0109b/1616353778438-2BZZIPQ99DY267D3A1NS/distress.crisis.podcast.png Press - DISTRESS + CRISIS ONTARIO | BRENDA OKOREE | October, 2020 Carla Beharry, an antiracism consultant, writer, speaker, mental health advocate, relationship coach, and owner of WOKE WO/MEN’S movement.

[Boys and men] end up having fragmented experiences during their lives – they don’t get to be the full range of who they are,” said Debs. “We want to help boys and men show up as themselves and not as a stereotype.” For Beharry, the event is a chance to redefine the narrative of what it means to be a boy or a man. She pointed to the #metoo and Black Lives Matter movements as examples that have shown there is still much work to be done. “We’ve done so much work for women, but for things to change, men have to be part of the conversation.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56046d01e4b0f8ec46c0109b/1616351635198-DVQIDBZ49Q71GW0EFXE5/toni.morrison..png Press - THE PRINCESS CINEMA | October, 2019 Selam Debs (JUICI Yoga) & Carla Beharry (WOKE Women's Movement) present: TONI & TALK DOORS OPEN at 6pm with a night full of spoken word, stories shared, readings from The Bluest Eye, Sula & I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings & more.

Black, Indigenous, racialized, trans, queer, disabled and other equity-deserving individuals cannot permanently experience “safety” in their bodies and nervous systems when anticipating the next microaggression, racist remark, exclusionary practice or violent act. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56046d01e4b0f8ec46c0109b/1712192509085-5TL1NOYQBCB12TUSVHCU/6%2Bcopy%2B3.jpg HOME - Racial Justice Sessions https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56046d01e4b0f8ec46c0109b/1712192299807-ITD29E3T0D4YCZ47NVFU/8+copy.png HOME - Transformative Mediation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56046d01e4b0f8ec46c0109b/1712192478061-RS8201GC40E6FK54YRU9/7+copy+2.png HOME - Keynote Speaking https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56046d01e4b0f8ec46c0109b/1712192478082-NB526QD9S8YGDRX88SFC/3+copy.png HOME - Somatic Coaching https://www.infiniteoceans.com/carla-beharry-speaking daily 0.75 2024-04-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56046d01e4b0f8ec46c0109b/1637808812784-44JHWZTRDZW4VQJ94Q1X/4.png Speaking https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56046d01e4b0f8ec46c0109b/4d0c68e8-47fd-4158-babe-cd55ad243f61/carla.7.JPG Speaking - KEYNOTE SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS Drawing on my intercultural, mixed-race heritage, my extensive experience of living and travelling throughout the Caribbean, Latin America, South America, South-East Asia, and Canada, and my deeply personal experiences of trauma, adversity, and loss, I speaks passionately about racial and cultural equity, about the importance of belonging and humanization for all people, and about cultural somatics - the need to collectively regulate our bodies together to heal oppression-based trauma. https://www.infiniteoceans.com/somatic-coaching daily 0.75 2024-04-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56046d01e4b0f8ec46c0109b/1637808721965-FRPV16NZOATB4YF72HBP/5.png Somatic Coaching https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56046d01e4b0f8ec46c0109b/bc6e5039-cf09-41e3-a179-6558ea7383c9/carla.6.JPG Somatic Coaching - Collective and individual practices to heal oppression and colonialism that lives in our bodies. https://www.infiniteoceans.com/mindfulness-movement daily 0.75 2024-04-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56046d01e4b0f8ec46c0109b/1637808768581-JYYQLSTX0QMO08K188E9/11.png Mindfulness + Movement https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56046d01e4b0f8ec46c0109b/9080d65b-7365-4519-af1d-8ab504f79688/DSC_1157.jpg Mindfulness + Movement - Somatic practice, thai massage, yoga + meditation In the global south, in the lands of our ancestors, rhythmic movement, drumming, singing, dancing, humming, tapping, wailing, vibrating, and hands-on-healing are a way of life. What is now termed, somatic practice, in the West, is a philosophy integrated into South Asian, South-East Asian, East Asian, Indigenous, Black, Pan-African, and Caribbean culture, who have always seen the mind and body as being ONE. Yoga, meditation, tai chi, qi gong, acupuncture, chinese medicine, Thai massage, martial arts and energy medicine, practiced through a culturally-meaningful and trauma-responsive lens ARE somatics, in-action. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56046d01e4b0f8ec46c0109b/5076ae03-69e6-474b-814b-57e6ae9c3963/DSC_1067.jpg Mindfulness + Movement - Book an embodied yoga, meditation + breathwork session for your studio, group, team or community: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56046d01e4b0f8ec46c0109b/48d642bf-02dc-4d38-b692-0cc0b7a68b5f/DSC_1114.jpg Mindfulness + Movement - Embodied yoga, meditation or movement session: Please contact me to inquire about booking a session for your group, classroom, team or community. https://www.infiniteoceans.com/racialized-somatic-therapists-practitioners-kitchener-waterloo-guelph daily 0.75 2024-04-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56046d01e4b0f8ec46c0109b/1637530441354-S93QU7R6VEAK1TC4G2QM/new.website.colours.png BLACK, INDIGENOUS, RACIALIZED THERAPISTS AND WELLNESS PROFESSIONALS WATERLOO WELLINGTON https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56046d01e4b0f8ec46c0109b/63483db2-2c63-49c3-8b17-901230beb71e/carla.beharry.png BLACK, INDIGENOUS, RACIALIZED THERAPISTS AND WELLNESS PROFESSIONALS WATERLOO WELLINGTON - CARLA BEHARRY Life coaching from a body-based, somatic perspective, exploring ways that trauma lives in our bodies | Group embodiment + collective healing sessions, focusing on healing from harms of systemic racism and oppression. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56046d01e4b0f8ec46c0109b/eeecbe07-ecbb-4914-b67c-d9dfceac32b0/LAURA.MCNEILLY.jpeg BLACK, INDIGENOUS, RACIALIZED THERAPISTS AND WELLNESS PROFESSIONALS WATERLOO WELLINGTON - LAURA MCNEILLY I identify as an integrative holistic psychotherapist, drawing from many theoretical frameworks including systemic, psychodynamic, experiential, cognitive behavioural, and somatic, as well as diverse cultural-spiritual-theological frameworks including North and South American and African Indigenous, Jewish and Christian mystical, and Eastern meditative teachings and practices. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56046d01e4b0f8ec46c0109b/ee99859e-8ef5-407a-8fd6-7d229b83a98f/NJERI.jpg BLACK, INDIGENOUS, RACIALIZED THERAPISTS AND WELLNESS PROFESSIONALS WATERLOO WELLINGTON - NJERI NTWIGA My approach to working with clients is grounded in the belief that each person going through challenging and distressing events has a unique way of working through their difficulty. I want to work with you instilling hope in your ability to learn about yourself and what matters to you during distressing times so that you can increase your confidence in working through the challenges and in making changes in your life. We will therefore work together using approaches that best fit your concerns, your experiences and your values. These approaches may integrate a variety of therapeutic orientations with your own traditional or indigenous practices and ways of healing. It would be an honor to accompany you as grow, change or heal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56046d01e4b0f8ec46c0109b/f95ce165-0d32-4a83-af7c-a099e4380530/tai.salih.jpg BLACK, INDIGENOUS, RACIALIZED THERAPISTS AND WELLNESS PROFESSIONALS WATERLOO WELLINGTON - TAI SALIH As a Black womanist therapist, my approach to counselling is centred on the experiences and needs of Black, Indigenous, and racialized women and gender-expansive folks. My work is rooted in the belief that we must dismantle systems of oppression that perpetuate violence against these communities and create a safer and empowering space for individuals to heal from the trauma they have experienced due to these systems and challenge the internalized beliefs we have adopted. In my practice, I use anti-oppression theories and practices alongside integrative counselling to help clients navigate internal and external distress caused by intersecting factors such as race, immigration/refugee status, indigeneity, class, gender, sexuality, disability, age, and spirituality. I prioritize the practice of self-love, boundary-making, and social support, while acknowledging the impact of relationships with partners, family, and friends, as well as communities, workplace culture, and the broader society. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56046d01e4b0f8ec46c0109b/a3da8f15-1d3f-4c8b-98f0-5703cf631ac6/Teresa+Smith+Photo.jpeg BLACK, INDIGENOUS, RACIALIZED THERAPISTS AND WELLNESS PROFESSIONALS WATERLOO WELLINGTON - TERESA SMITH Registered Psychotherapist | Strengths-based, trauma informed, anti-oppressive | As a Black-biracial woman of colour, I understand the value of making space for our racial and ethnic identity in the therapy space and always welcome the opportunity to assist clients in their journey to explore theirs.

Racial and oppression-based trauma are not “cognitive” experiences. Therefore, the dismantling of discriminatory and oppressive mindsets, behaviours and practices must go beyond cognitive learning. Racism and discrimination are complex, chronic, consistent and compounded experiences that impact the mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, physiological, psychological and behavioural well-being of the receiver. Our work is to end the dehumanization carried by oppressed bodies, to collectively shift to humanization for all people. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56046d01e4b0f8ec46c0109b/6a4acd80-0681-4422-b934-b95fcf343500/38.png Racial Justice Workshops + Training - What happens to nervous systems, continuously subjected to unpredictable racial trauma? Our bodies are designed to respond to acute and situational moments of stress or impact. Our bodies are not designed to function optimally through chronic and sustained racism and discrimination. Racism and discrimination are unpredictable. Racial trauma can be a first-hand experience or symptoms can be vicarious and secondary, appearing after witnessing the violence, murders, tortures and genocides of Black and brown bodies. Nervous systems that become dysregulated through racial trauma cannot permanently regulate in a society that is not permanently safe. https://www.infiniteoceans.com/lineage daily 0.75 2024-03-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56046d01e4b0f8ec46c0109b/b1691a17-6e5a-4679-87c1-83aa30f34f24/lineage.acknowledgement Lineage https://www.infiniteoceans.com/land-acknowledgement daily 0.75 2024-04-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56046d01e4b0f8ec46c0109b/70bb6493-1843-406c-a961-65726ec64887/7+copy+2.png Land Acknowledgement - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
