Sean Courneene

Hi! My name is Sean Courneene and I was born and raised in the Soo (Sault Ste. Marie). I spent twenty years in the Cascade Mountains of British Columbia. My wife and I returned to Northern Ontario in 2016. I am an outdoor enthusiast, always looking for a new lake or path to discover. I began studying energy medicine in Vancouver in 1998. I offered healing sessions at The Healing Loft after moving to Sault Ste. Marie, and in 2022 I started my nature-based wellness business, The Woodland Whisper in Gros Cap. I am a believer in the benefits of Biomat infrared technology. I am a certified Transformational Storyteller, intuitive in my approach. After over 20 years of exploring and studying energy healing, in 2013 I become a certified Reiki Master Energy Healer. I play native flute and crystal bowls among other instruments. and hold sound bath events for groups at The Healing Loft and also privately for individual healing. I hold a "Nature Immersion" (Forest Bathing) certificate. When I'm not helping clients, I am usually by a fire, or swimming, or walking the pathless woods. I offer my Reiki/Healing/Sound Sessions out of our beautiful log home in the Prince Township, Gros Cap, located a 20-minute drive from downtown Sault Ste. Marie. 
To contact me, you may text me at 705.542.9654 or email me at thewoodlandwhisper@protonmail.com. I hope to meet you soon!

Lina Genetti

Lina has an extensive background in physical education and wellness, having earned her Associate Teaching Diplomas in Ballet and Jazz, as well as an Advanced Business Diploma in Fitness Management. Once introduced to yoga, an exciting spark was ignited from within, not only was the physical body moving, but there was now mindfulness involved that made the wellness circle complete! This was a feeling too good to keep to herself, so in 2011, she dove deeper completing her 200 hours of yoga teacher training under the Anusara principles of Hatha Yoga as well as completing her Rainbow Kids Yoga certificate in 2013. She knew that becoming a Registered Yoga Teacher would allow her, not only to fulfill her own passion, but to share this complete bliss! Through her humble guidance, she wants nothing but you to feel connected with your own spark at the end of each journey together. 

Take some time to unwind, exhale and experience YOU. Our energy levels differ each day, allow yourself to connect to whatever that level is in the moment, let go and flow. See you on your mat!
