About
I came to this work through listening — to my body, to grief, and to the living world.
​
I'm Cadence Moffat McCann and like many people, I spent years sensing that something was wrong in ways I couldn’t easily name. Not just personal pain, but a deeper rupture — between people and land, body and spirit, individual healing and collective responsibility. I felt it as exhaustion, longing, and a quiet grief that didn’t have a place to land.
​
What changed was not finding a technique or a solution, but finding relationship.
How I Work
My approach is grounded in the understanding that healing is relational. We heal not in isolation, but through restored connection — within ourselves, with others, and with the more-than-human world.
​
I draw from somatic practices, nature connection, and grief work to support people in slowing down, listening deeply, and reconnecting with what has been pushed aside or carried alone. Rather than overriding symptoms or striving for constant improvement, we follow what the body, the land, and the moment are asking for.
​
Grief is not treated as a problem to solve, but as an expression of love and belonging. The body is not something to control, but a source of wisdom. The land is not a backdrop, but a living presence and guide.
Training, Lineage & Experience
I came to this work through a combination of formal training, lived experience, and years of listening — to bodies, to grief, and to place.
​
My approach is informed by training in somatic-based healing, nature connection, and grief tending, alongside ongoing mentorship and community practice. Rather than applying techniques, I work relationally — drawing on these lineages to support presence, attunement, and trust in the body’s own intelligence.
​
I hold my training and experience with humility, aware that much of what informs this work comes from earth-based and communal traditions that predate modern therapeutic frameworks. I am committed to practicing within my scope, referring out when appropriate, and engaging in continued learning and self-reflection.
Place & Land Acknowledgement
I live and work on the lands of K'ómoks peoples, and this place shapes how I understand healing, belonging, and responsibility.
​
My relationship with this land is ongoing and imperfect. I approach it not as something to own or use, but as a living presence that teaches through relationship and reciprocity. This means listening to where I am, acknowledging the histories held here, and letting the land inform my offerings.
​
I offer this acknowledgement not as a formality, but as a practice of remembering — that this place is living, storied, and shaped by ongoing Indigenous presence, resilience, and care. I acknowledge this land with humility, and I understand this as an invitation into deeper listening, accountability, and care — not as a substitute for action or relationship.
Why This Work Matters to Me
I believe the crises we face — ecological, cultural, spiritual — are rooted in a story of separation. When we forget our belonging, harm becomes easier. When grief has no place, it turns into numbness, urgency, or despair.
​
Healing the wound of separation is not just personal work. It is a contribution to the future.
​
When people come back into relationship with their bodies and the living world, they are more able to care, to act with discernment, and to live in ways that consider those who will come after us. This is what it means, to me, to become good ancestors.
An Invitation
If you feel drawn to this work, you don’t need to have it all figured out.
​
You may be tired. You may be grieving. You may simply sense that the way you’ve been taught to heal is incomplete.
​
If you are willing to listen, to slow down, and to let your healing serve something larger than yourself, I would be honoured to walk with you.
