The Origin Of The Embodied Way...
Glenda Bennett is a trauma-informed, body-oriented coach and esthetician with over 18 years of experience working at the intersection of health, embodiment, and human behaviour. Her work is grounded in the belief that lasting change does not come from forcing the mind, but from listening to the intelligence of the body.
Glenda began her path in lifestyle medicine in her twenties as a nutrition consultant and has since trained extensively in esthetics, high performance, somatic and trauma-informed approaches. Alongside her clinical and coaching work, she brings more than a decade of experience in long-form, relational client work, supporting people through change that is practical, personal, and sustainable.
Her approach is direct, collaborative, and deeply human. She works best with people who are ready for honest conversations, meaningful care, and a desire for making the most out of life.
Outside of her professional work, Glenda can be found skiing, hiking, reading, eating chocolate, and spending time with her husband, children, and cat. She is known for asking good questions, saying the quiet part out loud, and maintaining a dark sense of humour when it is most needed.
Whether doing a facial, manicure, pedicure or coaching, Glenda's focus has always been on a more profound experience. When the body and mind work together, healing occurs individually and collectively. The ripple effect is more love in everyone’s lives and a positive impact on our world.
Welcome to The Embodied Way, a new way to bring body and mind together. You will find exceptional esthetics and support in the most valued areas of your life. Together, we heal, grow, care and make room for beauty.
A bit about my colleague, Kenzie...
Kenzie is a Vancouver Island native, having spent most of her childhood and adult life here in the Comox Valley. She knew from a young age that she wanted to help care for and support people for a living, and it turns out that she enjoys helping them feel beautiful too!
After finishing her esthetics certification she went on to work at a local resort spa. This experience allowed her to see that she values the deep connections that can be made with her clients in this industry. Her passion for creating a warm, comfortable space for her clients led her to create Freya Esthetics.
It is important to Kenzie that all of the women and men that she works with leave their appointment feeling supported, relaxed and confident.
She aims to provide her clients with the education they need to take control of their self-care journey.
