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.\n\n<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\nUnhinged Vision:\nOur vision is to create a heart-led space where people feel free to be real, supported in their growth, and reminded that healing can be meaningful, messy, funny, sacred, and deeply human.\nUnhinged Values:\n\nAuthenticity \u2014 We value real thoughts, real feelings, real stories, and real growth<\/span>.\nHumour \u2014 We honour laughter as part of healing, connection, and perspective<\/span>.\nCompassion \u2014 We hold space for the tender, awkward, messy, and meaningful parts of being human<\/span>.\nCuriosity \u2014 We explore life, spirituality, healing, relationships, and personal growth with openness and wonder<\/span>.\nCommunity \u2014 We grow through shared stories, honest conversation, supportive connection, and heart-led belonging<\/span>.\nWisdom \u2014 We trust the insight found in lived experience, intuition, and everyday moments<\/span>.\nCreageous \u2014 We are courageously creative, open-hearted, expressive, playful, and willing to explore new ways of healing, growing, and being human<\/span>.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Twillow Teacher Collective \u2014 Fully Unhinged Edition\n\n\n\n\n Master\n\nTanys Coughlan is the founder of Twillow Lifestyle Community and Twillow Lifestyle Academy, which means she is the person most likely to say, \u201cI had an idea,\u201d 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.\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n \nTanys 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.\n\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n 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 \u2014 and somehow, it will make sense.\n\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n 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.\n\nBasically, Tanys is where sacred wisdom meets \u201cI made a workbook for that.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJennifer Jurkofsky 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, \u201cWell, that was alarmingly accurate.\u201d\n\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n 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.\n\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n 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.\n\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Jennifer has strong \u201cI see exactly what is happening here, and I will say it with kindness\u201d energy. Her work helps people untangle old patterns, build self-trust, strengthen emotional awareness, and stop treating their own needs like suspicious paperwork.\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n \nShe supports healing with depth, humour, insight, and a beautifully grounded presence. Basically, Jennifer is where therapy meets energy work meets \u201cyour soul has a flowchart, and she brought markers.\u201d\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJacqueline Richards 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.\n\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n 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.\n\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Her classes blend wisdom, compassion, grounded teaching, and the occasional moment where your body says, \u201cOh, thank goodness, someone finally noticed me.\u201d 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.\n\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n She is the person who can gently say, \u201cTake a deep breath,\u201d and somehow your nervous system hears, \u201cWe are safe now. Cancel the emergency meeting.\u201d\n\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Basically, Jacqueline is where yoga mat meets breath work meets \u201cplease unclench your jaw, beloved.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCaleigh Jerry 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 \u201cpick a lane\u201d and responded with, \u201cActually, I brought a whole multidimensional highway.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n\nCaleigh 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 \u2014 because apparently her spiritual toolbox needed its own parking space.\n\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Rooted in the belief that helping others find their \u201cspark\u201d is a path to reconnecting with their own ability to heal, Caleigh brings warmth, intention, creativity, and joyful curiosity to everything she does.\n\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n A creative spirit at heart, she also enjoys crafting, cooking, intuitive card reading, and sharing insights through her YouTube channel \u2014 which means she can probably clear your energy, pull a card, make something handmade, and bring snacks.\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \nCaleigh is continually expanding her knowledge and credentials, with Animal Reiki and Sound Healing on the horizon.

She is also a creative artist who designs intentional pagan products, jewellery, and handcrafted spiritual pieces \u2014 because apparently holding sacred space, teaching Reiki, and working with energy still left room for \u201clet\u2019s make it beautiful too.\u201d\n\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n 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 \u201cyes, your weird is welcome here\u201d energy.\n\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n 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.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBrenda Perez 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.\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \nWith 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.\n\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n 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 \u201cwhy am I like this?\u201d moment.\n\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Brenda\u2019s teaching style is grounded, insightful, and empowering. She has the kind of presence that says, \u201cYes, this pattern made sense once, and yes, we are lovingly retiring it now.\u201d\n\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n She helps people create meaningful change from the inside out \u2014 with tools, awareness, encouragement, and just enough loving truth to make the nervous system pay attention.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNicole Colman 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 \u201cwellness\u201d and said, \u201cGreat, but can we also include hormones, herbs, mental health, spirituality, geography, archaeology, and the entire human experience?\u201d\n \nA 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.\n\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n 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 \u2014 because apparently one academic mountain was simply insufficient.\n\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Nicole\u2019s 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.\n\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n She brings science, spirit, herbs, humour, practical wisdom, and \u201cplease eat something that loves you back\u201d energy to her work.

While some people casually keep a houseplant alive, Don took the plant path several levels further \u2014 propagating and selling herbs at farmers\u2019 markets, earning a Master\u2019s 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.\n\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n 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.\n\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n 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.\n\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n 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\u2019s unfolding journey, trusts the Earth\u2019s intelligence, and reminds us that plants have been quietly running the show this whole time.\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKassondra Walters\nYoga Teacher, Personal Trainer & Reiki Master \/ Helping Humans Stretch, Strengthen & Spiritually Reboot\n 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.\n\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Her work bridges healing, leadership, Indigenous ways of knowing, community care, trauma-informed practice, breathwork, meditation, energy healing, and organizational development.

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.\n\n<\/h2>\n
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 \u2014 all while someone is looking for the HDMI cord.\n\n<\/h2>\n
They are compassionate, wise, funny, grounded, intuitive, skilled, and just mystical enough to make you wonder if the group chat is also a portal.\n\n<\/h2>\n
Their shared mission is simple: help people feel supported, connected, empowered, and more fully themselves \u2014 preferably with snacks, grace, and a decent Wi-Fi connection. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTanys Coughlan, B.Soc.Sc
