State of Being Wellness
Be Human
Being Human
Life is messy. Sometimes we know exactly what we need. Sometimes we don't. We move through change, difficult seasons, unexpected turns, good things, hard things, and everything in between.
State of Being Wellness was created as a place to explore all of it.
A place for personal work, community, learning, creativity and connection without the pressure to have yourself figured out before you begin.
The philosophy is simple: who you are isn't a problem to be fixed. Your thoughts, emotions, behaviors and patterns can give you information. Sometimes we need to understand or acknowledge what's happening. Sometimes we need support through something difficult. Sometimes we're simply curious and want to see what else might be possible.
There isn't one right way to do that.
A little about me
I'm Kandace the person behind State of Being Wellness
Over more than a decade my work has grown through many different approaches to understanding how our minds, bodies and experiences shape the way we live.
My background includes Clinical Hypnotherapy, Root Cause Therapy, SIT and different Somatic approaches.
I don't believe any one modality has all the answers. They are simply tools we can utilize.
State of Being Wellness brings those tools together with a bigger intention: to create space and opportunities where people can explore themselves honestly, find useful support, and have room to be human.
And that vision has grown beyond my personal practice.
What Guides the Work
Everything is information.
Our thoughts, emotions, behaviours and patterns can tell us something. We don't have to judge them or immediately try to change them. We can lean in with curiosity and try to understand what they're telling us.
You are not a problem to be fixed. You are human.
Life can be difficult. We can get stuck, develop patterns that no longer serve us, or find ourselves struggling with things we don't quite understand. None of that makes us broken. We can work with what's happening without making you the thing that needs fixing.
Change has layers.
We're complex beings, and meaningful change rarely happens in just one place. The mind, body, emotions, experiences and patterns we've developed can all be part of the picture.
You are the authority on your own life.
My role isn't to tell you who you should be or dictate what you should do. I bring knowledge, tools, questions and perspective. You get to decide what fits, what doesn't, and what you want to do with it.
There is room for the whole picture.
Curiosity and struggle can exist side by side. You can be doing well and still want to grow. You can be having a difficult time and still have hope. There is room for all of it here.
What You'll Find Here
There are a few different ways to connect with State of Being Wellness. You might be looking for personal support, a community to be part of, a practitioner or service that feels like a good fit, or simply something interesting to experience. Take a look around. You can decide what comes next.
Personal Work
Work directly with Kandace through individual 1:1 services and focused programs.
This is an opportunity for deeper exploration when something in your life isn't working the way you'd like, you're moving through something difficult, or you're simply curious about understanding yourself differently.
Using a combination of approaches including Clinical Hypnotherapy, Root Cause Therapy, SIT and somatic work, the focus is on finding what is useful for you and considers your unique life experience rather than following a one-size-fits-all formula.

The Wayfinder's Place
The Wayfinder's Place is an ongoing community for curiosity, connection, support and exploration.
It's a place to show up as you are, bring what's present and take what is useful.
Through live online gatherings, community, exclusive resources and shared experiences, there's room to learn something new, try something different, consider another perspective, or simply spend some time with other people who are navigating life too.
Red Deer Healing & Wellness Center
An extension of State of Being Wellness:
The Red Deer Healing & Wellness Center is the physical expression of this vision in our local community.
The Center is home to independent practitioners, each running their own business and bringing their own experience, training and approach.
It is also a place for workshops, gatherings and classes.
Different people. Different perspectives. Different ways of working, sharing a space where people can find something that fits.

Upcoming Events
From workshops and movement experiences to community gatherings and events hosted at the Center, there are plenty of ways to explore something new.
Some experiences are offered through State of Being Wellness, while others are hosted by the independent practitioners and collaborators who make the Center what it is.
You don't need to be a client or member to participate. If something interests you, you're welcome to come see what it's about.
If you are a facilitator looking for a space to share your classes or experiences we welcome guest practitioners into our Center as well.
