Come home to your body.
At The Soulfull House, we always prioritize supporting & meeting you exactly where you’re at in that moment. (I am merely here to hold space for you, and dance with you.)
Together we will invite a remembering of your own body wisdom; your inner knowing. It is your dance, I am simply a friend who lends you strength for a moment, until you can remember your own.
Somatic
so•mat•ic
The root of the word somatic is “soma”, which translates to body, So one could say that a somatic experience is of the body.
Say hello to nervous system regulation! -
Say hello to nervous system regulation! -
The Soulfull House is…
A place where your nervous system can finally loosen its grip, let go and regulate.
A place where you don’t need to do anything to prepare, because everything you could ever need is tucked inside your beautiful body.
A place where ebbing and flowing beyond shapes is celebrated and encouraged.
A place where all bodies and stories are welcome and treated with the utmost love and care.
A place where co-regulation doesn’t just happen, it flourishes.
A place where the power lies in yourself, and in yourself alone.
A place where holding space for those around us is honoured and supported.
My Reason Why.
My Papa + Grama are my best friends. — They are one of the very important reason’s why I created The Soulfull House, and although they are now both my beautiful angels in heaven, they will continue to inspire and guide me every single day.
(The picture above shows my Papa + Grama at one of the homes they built and raised their family in. — Approx 1964)
I’m Shalyn.
It’s so amazing to have you here!
I’d love to share a few things about me.
Hello everyone! I’m Shalyn. (pronounced Shay - Lynn)
I am a Mama to 2 of the wildest boys (+ 1 angel baby)
I married my best friend + high school sweetheart. Whom I ran away with and eloped in the mountains in 2018.
Gardening, flowers, birds and being outdoors is where I thrive in my down time. — I am proud to say that I have a very beautiful old lady yard.
A few things I love: the mountains (Banff is my happy place), the smell after it rains, sage + palo santo, cozy blankets, tea and hot cocoa, lots & lots of snacks and handmade pasta, the warmth of sunshine on my skin, listening to the birds & wind chimes sing, and lots of pretty crystals (I’m always drawn to Amethyst) — just to name a few.

“Healing is not linear.
Healing is full of layers. Healing is time. Healing is messy, exhausting and beautiful all at the same time.
Once you think it’s done, it has a sneaky way of showing up again & again.
It takes time.
It takes patience.
So take a deep breath (and perhaps one more). You’re healing. Be proud of yourself.
You’ve come so far.”
