 A Greeting from Kayley (she/her)
Student Yoga Therapist Supervised by Dr. Melissa Jay

To book a Yoga Therapy session with Kayley, please email her directly or book through her Schedule link, above!
I’m a trauma-informed yoga teacher and Yoga Therapist practicum student dedicated to creating supportive, accessible spaces where people can reconnect with their bodies at their own pace. My approach blends gentle therapeutic movement, breathwork, and mindfulness with simple nervous system–based tools that encourage grounding, awareness, and ease.

I prioritize choice, consent, and comfort in every session, offering options and pacing that meet each person exactly where they are. As I move through my practicum, I’m expanding my skills through one-on-one sessions, small group work, research, and ongoing study. I’m especially passionate about supporting individuals navigating stress, chronic tension, or burnout in a way that feels safe, empowering, and sustainable.

​My intention is to hold space that invites steadiness, curiosity, and self-connection—while continuing to grow and evolve in my own therapeutic practice.

Dr. Melissa Jay is an Indigenous, nehiyaw-Métis member of the Métis Nation of Alberta. The primary location of Canmore Counselling and Trauma-Informed Yoga Psychology School is located in Chuwapchipchiyan Kudi Bi (translated from Îyârhe Nakoda as “shooting at the willows”), colonially known as Canmore. We are grateful to be located on Treaty 7 territory and the current and ancestral lands of the Îyârhe Nakoda (Stoney Nakoda), which includes of the Bearspaw First Nation, Chiniki First Nation, and Goodstoney First Nation, as well as the Tsuut’ina First Nation and the Blackfoot Confederacy, including the Siksika First Nation, Piikani First Nation, and Kainai First Nation. This is also the home to the Rocky View Métis District 4 within the Battle River Territory. We recognize all Nations who continue to nurture these lands, and we are dedicated to uplifting Truth, language, and culture as essential to right relations. As an act of reconciliation and commitment to decolonization, we are committed to the TRC's Calls to Action. 

At Canmore Counselling, we are also privileged to be yoga students, practitioners, and guides. Our offerings centre on the root of yoga as Indigenous to South Asia, and we are grateful to learn from and amplify the South Asian practitioners and teachers whenever possible. We are grateful for the eight limbs of yoga, as taught by Patanjali. It is a joy to walk alongside our incredible alumni of the Trauma-Informed Yoga Psychology School as they create opportunities for care, connection & curiosity within their communities. 

We believe wholeheartedly that trauma-informed care requires commitment to community, social justice, decolonization, anti-oppression, and anti-racism. Thank you for being here :)​
