somatic + creative therapies

coming alive together

© 2026 by the feeling space

the feeling space is a collective of somatic practitioners, artists, psychotherapists, and friends re-imagining mental healthcare in our communities through embodied, creative and play-based experiential therapies.

 

We work virtually across Ontario, and hold in-person therapy and events in Thadinadonnih - Mohawk for "the place where they built" - colonially called Guelph, ON. We operate on vital ecological homeland to many humans and more-than-human beings and ecosystems - near the place where the Umnemosa River (Missisauga for "black dog" or "dead dog") meets the Speed River. This land is the ancestral home of the Chonnonton (Neutral) and Haudenosaunee first peoples, and is part of the Between-the-Lakes purchase (Treaty 3) with the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. We acknowledge that lands and bodies are not neutral, and are shaped by the stories of those who came before us. We seek to honour these stories and repair harm held within them from the historical and ongoing impacts of colonization, land theft, assimilation, and racial injustice that inhabit our bodies and patterns of relating.
