Hi I'm
Ailsa
I help people overcome the effects of trauma and abuse so that they can experience true intimacy, rebuild confidence and create fulfilling relationships
I was working so hard for so little gain…for a really long time. I have finally established a work life balance that I didn’t think was possible.

Humble Beginnings
In the winter of 2008, I returned to Canada after spending many years abroad. I came home with my four daughters, leaving my husband and co-wife behind in Morocco. Finding myself with no job and no income and living with my parents, I decided I needed to go back to school. Studying Massage Therapy gave me the impetus to begin my own healing journey.
New Challenges
Waking at 4am to study every day before getting my kids off to school and myself to college was a challenge.
But two years later I graduated with my diploma in Massage Therapy and more optimism than I'd felt for a long time.
I got a job and began my personal journey towards freedom from an abusive marriage and a lot of financial debt.
Over the last 20 years, I’ve been helping female solopreneurs and entrepreneurs end burnout, reclaim balance, and fall back in love with their business and life.
Sure, this About Page shares a little about me, but it’s really about YOU.
It’s about how you can use the strategies and insights I’ve gained to overcome your challenges and create the thriving business and fulfilling life you deserve.

Renewed Hope
Studying Myofascial Release, Energy healing and Bioenergetic Analysis added to my bodywork training and began to transform the habitual pattern of low self-esteem I had embodied for years. I began to feel hopeful for the future although relationships and intimacy were still challenging for me.
Creating My Methodology
I realized that building a healthy loving relationship with myself was only the first step. There were so many other skills to learn. Integrity and honesty about myself were great but I needed to be able to communicate in a way that revealed my true nature to others. I needed to learn to ask for what I wanted and to graciously accept a no when someone couldn't meet my needs. I was on a mission to master relationships.
Partnership
While continuing my training with a certificate in Somatic Sex Education I met my life partner and we realized we both had the same dream. We wanted to create a place where people could come and feel connected, to themselves, to others and to the land we live on. My partner, Declan, is the person with whom I get to embody all of my work with relationship wisdom.
Living Our Dream
In January of 2022, Declan and I finally opened our doors to Our Celtic Hearth. Our retreat and healing centre is a focal point for us to help create a more connected world. We continue to work both online and in person with people wanting to experience intimate relationships that inspire and expand our capacity to be loving human beings. We hope to welcome you to our community!

Coming Home to Your Body, Truth, and Connection
Ailsa’s work is rooted in a simple but powerful belief: we are meant to feel.
In a world that encourages us to numb, distract, and disconnect, she invites a different path, one of presence, sensitivity, and aliveness. Because within our ability to feel lies our capacity for beauty, compassion, and true connection.
Through somatic bodywork, relationship and intimacy coaching, and immersive experiences, Ailsa creates spaces where people can gently reconnect with themselves. Spaces where the body is honoured, emotions are welcomed, and deeper truths can emerge.
Her work is not about fixing what is broken, but about remembering what has been lost, our ability to listen inwardly, to trust our intuition, and to relate to ourselves and others with honesty and care.
By bringing together body, mind, and soul, she supports individuals and communities in transforming patterns, deepening intimacy, and creating lives that feel aligned, meaningful, and alive.
This is an invitation to soften, to notice, and to return, to yourself.
