Nest Holistic blends psychotherapy and somatic practices to help you process what you're carrying and reimagine what's possible. I offer individual therapy, group programs, and yoga retreats in the mountains of British Columbia. This embodied approach balances both the intensity of healing and the power of beauty and playfulness along your path.

Hi, I’m Cassie

I'm an artist, yoga therapist, and psychotherapist living in the small mountain town of Nelson, British Columbia.

I've spent over a decade studying trauma and somatic healing, but I also know this work from the inside. I understand what it's like when your body doesn't feel like home.

Integrating therapy with somatic practices led me back to myself. Now I support others in reclaiming agency and choice in their bodies and lives, weaving this work with art, creativity, and the joy of reimagination.
