About Us — Unhinged
The Courageously Creative Side of Twillow
Through honest conversations, intuitive reflection, community connection, and heart-led exploration, Twillow Lifestyle creates space for the beautifully messy parts of life, healing, spirituality, business, relationships, and personal growth.
This is where real life meets real wisdom. It is a place for truth, humour, tenderness, curiosity, and the kind of growth that happens when people feel safe enough to show up as themselves.
The Twillow teachers are a heart-centred, highly qualified, spiritually gifted, beautifully chaotic group of humans who have somehow gathered under one umbrella to help people heal, learn, grow, breathe, regulate, remember, transform, and occasionally stop overthinking everything.
Together, they bring Reiki, Aqualead, Celtic Shamanism, Yoga, Breathwork, Sound Healing, Psychotherapy, Human Design, sacred wisdom, publishing, leadership, business, community care, spiritual teaching, and enough lived experience to power a small retreat centre.
This is the kind of team that can guide a meditation, facilitate a class, hold sacred space, explain your patterns, help you breathe, organize a curriculum, support your soul purpose, and remind you to drink water — all while someone is looking for the HDMI cord.
They are compassionate, wise, funny, grounded, intuitive, skilled, and just mystical enough to make you wonder if the group chat is also a portal.
Their shared mission is simple: help people feel supported, connected, empowered, and more fully themselves — preferably with snacks, grace, and a decent Wi-Fi connection.
Master Tanys Coughlan is the founder of Twillow Lifestyle Community and Twillow Lifestyle Academy, which means she is the person most likely to say, “I had an idea,” and accidentally create a full certification program, a sacred business framework, three healing pathways, a community event, and a 52-week curriculum before finishing her coffee.
Tanys is a Reiki Master, Aqualead Master, Crystal Master, Celtic Shamanic High Priestess, Galactic Ambassador, spiritual teacher, channel, healer, mentor, HR professional, and enthusiastic collector of sacred modalities. At this point, her bio needs its own filing cabinet and possibly a sherpa.
With a background in Human Resources, leadership, energy healing, spiritual development, intuitive work, and community building, Tanys brings together the beautifully practical and the wildly mystical. She can talk about policy, boundaries, trauma-informed care, past lives, soul purpose, business strategy, dragons, and cosmic diplomacy in the same conversation — and somehow, it will make sense.
Her teaching style is warm, direct, heart-centred, occasionally hilarious, and deeply supportive. She helps people heal, grow, trust their gifts, lead with love, and remember that they are far more powerful than their nervous system, inbox, or imposter syndrome would have them believe. Basically, Tanys is where sacred wisdom meets “I made a workbook for that.”
Jennifer Jurkofsky is a Registered Psychotherapist, Reiki Master, Human Design guide, spiritual teacher, emotional pattern detective, and the person most likely to gently explain your entire inner operating system while you sit there thinking, “Well, that was alarmingly accurate.”
Jennifer blends psychotherapy, Reiki, Human Design, intuition, and grounded wisdom into a teaching style that is compassionate, clear, and just spicy enough to make your coping mechanisms nervous.
She can help you understand your emotions, your relationships, your nervous system, your energetic patterns, your Human Design authority, and why one tiny comment from 2017 is still living rent-free in your body.
Jennifer has strong “I see exactly what is happening here, and I will say it with kindness” energy. Her work helps people untangle old patterns, build self-trust, strengthen emotional awareness, and stop treating their own needs like suspicious paperwork.
She supports healing with depth, humour, insight, and a beautifully grounded presence. Basically, Jennifer is where therapy meets energy work meets “your soul has a flowchart, and she brought markers.”
Jacqueline Richards is an E-RYT 500 yoga teacher, breathwork guide, spiritual educator, and professional reminder that your shoulders are currently trying to become earrings.
Jacqueline brings a deep background in yoga, movement, breathwork, embodiment, nervous system awareness, and spiritual practice. She has the rare ability to guide people into calm while also helping them realize they have been breathing like a startled woodland creature since approximately 2019.
Her classes blend wisdom, compassion, grounded teaching, and the occasional moment where your body says, “Oh, thank goodness, someone finally noticed me.” Whether she is leading yoga, breathwork, or deep inner reflection, Jacqueline creates space for students to soften, release, reconnect, and remember that rest is allowed to have a seat at the table.
She is the person who can gently say, “Take a deep breath,” and somehow your nervous system hears, “We are safe now. Cancel the emergency meeting.”
Basically, Jacqueline is where yoga mat meets breath work meets “please unclench your jaw, beloved.”
Caleigh Jerry is a Reiki Master/Teacher, Aqualead Master/Teacher, Celtic Shamanic High Priestess, Galactic Shaman, intuitive teacher, creative soul, and someone who clearly saw the phrase “pick a lane” and responded with, “Actually, I brought a whole multidimensional highway.”
Caleigh supports others on their healing journey through energy work, self-discovery, intuitive development, and reconnection with their own inner wisdom. Her work includes Reiki, Aqualead, Nokti, Nigaera, Light Language, Crystal Healing, Tuning Fork Healing, Creative Therapies, Celtic Shamanism, and Galactic Shamanism — because apparently her spiritual toolbox needed its own parking space.
Rooted in the belief that helping others find their “spark” is a path to reconnecting with their own ability to heal, Caleigh brings warmth, intention, creativity, and joyful curiosity to everything she does.
A creative spirit at heart, she also enjoys crafting, cooking, intuitive card reading, and sharing insights through her YouTube channel — which means she can probably clear your energy, pull a card, make something handmade, and bring snacks.
Caleigh is continually expanding her knowledge and credentials, with Animal Reiki and Sound Healing on the horizon. Basically, she is a walking “coming soon” page for more magic.
France Lapointe is a bilingual French/English Reiki, Animal Reiki, and Aqualead Master Teacher and Practitioner, Celtic Shamanic High Priestess, practicing Pagan, founder of Cosmic Hermit Healing, and someone who absolutely understood the assignment when the assignment was “be mystical, helpful, creative, and mildly impossible to categorize.”
France supports people in reconnecting with themselves, their intuition, their inner wisdom, and probably the part of their soul that has been quietly yelling, “Can we please make life more magical now?” Her work is rooted in Reiki, Pagan ritual and ceremony, Celtic shamanic traditions, energy healing, creativity, and a deep respect for personal transformation.
Trained and mentored by Tanys Coughlan, France has walked a dedicated path of self-discovery, healing, and purposeful alignment. She is also a creative artist who designs intentional pagan products, jewellery, and handcrafted spiritual pieces — because apparently holding sacred space, teaching Reiki, and working with energy still left room for “let’s make it beautiful too.”
France brings more than 17 years of public service experience, with a background in mental health awareness, compassion, understanding, and psychological safety. As a speaker and teacher, she supports collective well-being with warmth, grounded care, and a quietly powerful “yes, your weird is welcome here” energy.
She is compassionate, wise, creative, witchy in the best way, and fully capable of helping you regulate your energy while also making you want to buy a handmade magical object you did not know you needed.
Brenda is a teacher, mentor, practitioner, guide, and the kind of person who can probably spot a limiting belief from across the room before it has even finished introducing itself.
With a background in powerful transformational tools such as NLP, EFT, and personal development work, Brenda supports people in understanding their patterns, shifting old stories, and reconnecting with the version of themselves that is ready to stop negotiating with self-sabotage.
She brings clarity, compassion, humour, and practical wisdom to her work, helping students and clients move through emotional blocks, mindset loops, energetic wobbles, and the occasional full-body “why am I like this?” moment.
Brenda’s teaching style is grounded, insightful, and empowering. She has the kind of presence that says, “Yes, this pattern made sense once, and yes, we are lovingly retiring it now.”
She helps people create meaningful change from the inside out — with tools, awareness, encouragement, and just enough loving truth to make the nervous system pay attention.
Nicole is a Registered Holistic Nutritionist, Certified Holistic Nutritional Consultant, Reiki Practitioner, Practical Herbalist, lifelong learner, mother of three young adults, and apparently someone who looked at “wellness” and said, “Great, but can we also include hormones, herbs, mental health, spirituality, geography, archaeology, and the entire human experience?”
A 2017 Valedictorian graduate of the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition, Nicole supports clients with holistic wellness, sustainable habits, hormonal balance, nutrition, movement, self-awareness, and the deeply relatable challenge of being a human with a body, a schedule, emotions, responsibilities, and a pantry.
She also holds a BA Honours and MA in Religious Studies, is a Level III Reiki Practitioner, has advanced studies in Nutrition and Mental Health, and recently returned to school for Physical Geography with minors in Archaeology and Earth Sciences — because apparently one academic mountain was simply insufficient.
Nicole’s approach is compassionate, realistic, individualized, and rooted in adding and adapting. She helps people build a healthier relationship with food, body, energy, and self-care without turning life into a punishment spreadsheet.
She brings science, spirit, herbs, humour, practical wisdom, and “please eat something that loves you back” energy to her work. Basically, she is where nutrition meets Reiki meets Earth wisdom meets a mom who absolutely knows when you are running on coffee and vibes.
Don Kerr is an M.Sc., Agricultural Wisdom Keeper, Sacred Earth Steward, plant whisperer, incense alchemist, and the kind of person who looked at a garden one day and said, “Yes, this is my life now.”
From a young age, Don has been deeply connected to the Earth, the state of the planet, and the sacred beauty of nature. While some people casually keep a houseplant alive, Don took the plant path several levels further — propagating and selling herbs at farmers’ markets, earning a Master’s degree in agriculture, apprenticing in Amazonian plant spirit medicine, supporting organic certification for farming operations, and generally becoming the person the plants probably call when they need a meeting.
Don brings together science, spirit, sustainability, humour, and heart. He teaches, presents, communicates, and opens meaningful conversations about plants, healing, community, food, and our relationship with the Earth.
He currently explores natural incense production as a tool for healing and spiritual growth, which is basically sacred smoke with a research background and better boundaries.
With one foot in the scientific realm and the other in the spiritual heart, Don bridges worlds with empathy, wisdom, and grounded curiosity. He honours humanity’s unfolding journey, trusts the Earth’s intelligence, and reminds us that plants have been quietly running the show this whole time.
Kassondra Walters is a First Nations, Oneida woman, entrepreneur, Yoga and Reiki Teacher, organizational development advisor, and someone who can help you regulate your nervous system and your strategic plan, which is honestly rude levels of talented.
Her work bridges healing, leadership, Indigenous ways of knowing, community care, trauma-informed practice, breathwork, meditation, energy healing, and organizational development. Kassondra can hold space for reflection, restoration, and reconnection while also helping a group create actual next steps, which makes her both deeply spiritual and extremely useful.
She is a certified 200-Hour Yoga Teacher, Reiki Master, former Canfitpro Certified Personal Trainer, and Founder & CEO of KD Management & Consulting. So yes, she can support your emotional, spiritual, physical, and mental wellbeing, then help your organization stop operating like a group chat with bylaws.

Pamela Burke is a published writer, Aqualead Energy Healer, Celtic Shamanic High Priestess, and organized mystical powerhouse. She is the person you want in the room when someone needs to hold sacred space, edit a sentence, coordinate a webinar, fix a registration issue, and remember where the link went.
Pamela has a background in publishing, education coordination, professional development, communications, administration, office management, and community engagement. In other words, she can probably create the agenda, proofread the handout, open the energetic container, and make sure everyone gets the Zoom replay.
She holds a Certificate in Publishing from Toronto Metropolitan University, a Bachelor of Business Administration from Laurentian University, and an Advanced Diploma in Business Administration Management from St. Lawrence College — because apparently being intuitive and spiritually powerful was only part of the assignment.
Pamela brings clarity, creativity, compassion, and grounded presence to her work. She is organized, insightful, heart-centred, and spiritually efficient, which frankly feels like a rare and slightly suspicious superpower.
