About Ember ’n Echo

Hello, and welcome in. Pull up a chair. Put the kettle on. There's no rush here. I'm Hayley, and this podcast is a soft place to land. It's for anyone who has tried a wellness practice, felt something move, and then wondered, "Okay, what do I do with that?" I've spent about 20 years in the world of movement, healing and care, as an exercise physiologist, yoga teacher, counsellor, Reiki practitioner and life enthusiast. Along the way I've learned that the practice is only the beginning. The real change happens in what comes after. That's what I call safe integration: building the understanding in your mind, body and heart so that what you experience can settle and stay whilst everything else is gently released. Everything I do rests on three things: Science. The theory behind how your body and emotions work, in plain, friendly words. Holding. A safe, steady space where whatever you feel is welcome. Flow. Gentle ways to move, breathe and keep going, at your own pace. On the show you'll find honest conversations, walk-throughs of what themes are coming up in sessions, small practices you can try, and stories from a life that is lived and a bit messy. You don't need to be an expert. You don't need to get it right. You just need to be curious. Come as you are. Take what helps. Leave what doesn't. Welcome, I'm so glad you're here.

   Ep. 12 Distance Reiki session

   Episode 12! In this episode, you're invited to sit in on a distance Reiki session, recorded as it happened. No staging, no polish, just the real thing, so you can hear what energy work actually looks and feels like when we work together across the miles, whether you're in Calgary or on the other side of the world. You'll hear how a Reiki session opens: the check-in, the intention-setting, and how we settle into the energy before anything begins. You'll rejoin us as the Reiki component wraps up and we move into the discussion. This is what I noticed as a Calgary Reiki practitioner, what they noticed and experienced, and how it relates to what is happening for them in their real life. This is Science. Holding. Flow. in practice. You don't need to believe anything, and you don't need to do anything. You just need to show up, get comfortable, and let yourself be held. Whether you're Reiki-curious, a long-time skeptic, or already booked in and wondering what you've signed up for, press play, get cosy, and let this be your walk-through to energy work in Calgary and beyond. A note on safe integration: this session is here to be listened to, not performed. If anything stirs, go gently. Pause, breathe, drink some water, and come back when you're ready. Tending the ember, honouring the echo. Book a distance Reiki session at Ember 'n Echo, your Calgary home for energy work, and start learning the language your body's already speaking.

   Ep. 11 - Intuition for long distance love (Part 2)

   Episode 11! We continue the the real-life long-distance love that began across continents. I left you at the airport, now I take you through the nitty gritty, the final struggles before (and during) the plane to Calgary. There are some neat moments of intuition and energy resonance (read: shared panic attacks) that continued to affirm this was the way. This is Part 2 of "Love is... Long Distance," and it's less about the surreal circumstances that started it, and more about what it actually takes to follow intuition once it's spoken. The unwavering knowing in my gut and nervous system that this was it. This was worth the risk. Welcome to the Calgary end of the story — the place I kept returning to, year after year, with the intuitive knowledge that this was where I was meant to be. Turns out Calgary held my heart in more ways than I realized! This city full of Energy was like a magnet to me in so many ways. If you've ever felt an inexplicable pull toward a person, a place, or a decision that made no logical sense on paper, this episode is for you. It's an invitation to notice your own intuition, to pay attention to what energy is asking of you, and to trust that quiet knowing — even when the timezones, the rules, and the circumstances say it shouldn't work. Grab your headphones. This one's a Calgary story, an intuition story, and an energy story, all at once — and it's still, somehow, a love story too. Your intuition is a skill, not a mystery — and it can be taught. If this episode made you curious about your own inner nudges, let's work on it together. Book a session at Ember 'n Echo and start learning the language your body's already speaking. Web: www.embernecho.co IG: @embernecho.co TT: @embernecho SS: Embernecho YT: @EmbernEcho.c0

   Ep. 10 - Love is Blind, I mean Long Distance (Part 1)

   Episode 10! Love is... Long Distance (Part 1) .  A real life Love Story that spans continents and timezones. All the lessons, nudges and inklings in my love life led me to have a surreal set of circumstances to the beginning of this relationship. This is a "sit back and let me tell you a story" kind of episode. Grab your headphones, go for a walk, or let me join you while you do the dishes or drive the car and I'll give you the first instalment of this (real life) tale. Note that this took place during C*vid, so it gets mentioned for context. It was a very specific set of societal rules that played a significant role. I hope this episode inspires you, motivates you, provides a nudge, or gets you curious about what your manual might look like and begin to experiment with what tools to include if you haven't already. Glad to have you along and look forward to sharing the Embers of experience together through the Echos of time and space!

   Ep. 9 The Party with Vagus

   Episode 9! The Wandering Nerve. It's a gooder. There is so much internet intel around dysregulation... I wondered if we could get practical for a moment (and perhaps a bit nerdy) and follow the path of the Vagus nerve IN YOUR BODY! Wild! From the Conceptual into Present time and space. Let's take a look at how our meat suits know stuff. The biofeedback that's constantly happening without us even paying attention... And then when you start paying attention what might show up and what you can do about it (or not). One question though... do all things lead back to a Grey's Anatomy episode or is it just me? Ha! I hope this episode inspires you, motivates you, provides a nudge, or gets you curious about what your manual might look like and begin to experiment with what tools to include if you haven't already.

   Ep. 8 Motivation - Understanding why you (& they) just don't wanna

   Episode 8! In a continuation of nerding out on some science theory, this week we take a look at the TTM (Transtheoratical Model) of Stages of Motivational Change. By understanding where you may sit in any given situation, it might help open some doors or windows into why and what you actually want to do about it (if anything). We build a bit more on last week's gate theory and ponder with gentle curiosity. The TTM might begin to show itself in different ways as you move through life now you know about it. From family members to colleagues, to signing up for a new subscription or booking an appointment. Where are you and where might they be in this motivational process? Is this an opportunity to save some of that life energy or is this going to light you up?! A conversation that simply gives more choices via reflection. I hope this episode inspires you, motivates you, provides a nudge, or gets you curious about what your manual might look like and begin to experiment with what tools to include if you haven't already. Glad to have you along and look forward to sharing the Embers of experience together through the Echos of time and space!

   Ep. 7 Gate Theory making me a better person

   Episode 7! This is where you see my nerdy side. For the love of all things anatomy; yet another facet where 'being human' and science meet. I do love a theory, I love it even more when it makes sense and has practical application. Gate theory can be seen innately in how we respond to something as mundane as stubbing your toe. It can be practiced in so many areas of life, from giving birth to pain management (big or small) across both the physiological and emotional responses. Aren't human's amazing? Even more so when we know what works for us. I hope this episode inspires you, motivates you, provides a nudge, or gets you curious about what your manual might look like and begin to experiment with what tools to include if you haven't already.

   Ep. 6 Permission to laugh at yourself

   Episode 6! Oh man, how I wanted to fast forward through the tough stuff and turns out I wanted to fast forward through stillness too! Taking a lighter look at how confronting 'stillness' can be, especially when you'd rather just get it done and be on the other side reaping the rewards already. Today we give ourselves permission to laugh at some of the ways we approach our patterns.
