Calm Space Teachers

Adriannah O’Hara (she/her) is a Holistic Practitioner with a background in psychology and Usui Reiki and is currently training in hypnotherapy. Her approach blends nervous system and emotional support with intuitive care. In The Calm Place Studio, she currently co-facilitates Reiki Sound Baths, moving gently through the room to offer Reiki while sound fills the space, supporting deep rest and regulation. 

Her presence is calm, attuned and responsive, creating a safe container for participants to soften, release and reconnect with themselves. She sees The Calm Place Studio as a natural extension of her work and looks forward to expanding her offerings there in time.

Amy Rezek (she/her) is a Holistic Practitioner offering Meditation, Breathwork, Sound Baths, Kundalini Yoga, Reiki and Spinal Energetics. She is a certified Meditation Teacher (100, 200 and 300-hour), Kundalini Yoga Teacher (200 and 300-hour) and Reiki Master Teacher in the Usui and Komyo ReikiDo lineages, with additional training in Spinal Energetics (Level 1) and the AromaTouch Technique.

As a certified Naturotherapist (n.d.) Amy supports people in slowing down and reconnecting with their body and breath. Her work is grounded in meeting people where they are rather than trying to fix or push change. Amy creates spaces where you can arrive exactly as you are. The intention in her work is to help you build trust within yourself so you can move through life with a little more ease. 

Carly Wallwork (she/her) is a Breathwork Facilitator and Canadian Certified Counsellor who believes all individuals deserve the space to get in touch with their inner wisdom to unlock healing and self-discovery. Introduced to active breathwork in 2024, Carly was instantly in awe of the transformative practice, which quickly became a component of her personal healing journey. Its resonance was the catalyst to pursue breathwork training in hopes to offer it to the Newfoundland and Labrador community. 

Carly believes in the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual benefits of active breathwork, and she’s honoured to hold space for you in your practice. Carly hopes breathwork gives you an opportunity to feel connected to your breath, your body and beyond. 

Erica Robbins (she/her) is a Yoga Teacher and Doula passionate about supporting people through mindful, inclusive and embodied movement practices.

Erica’s teaching is intuitive, compassionate and student-centered, with the intention of helping students leave the mat feeling a little better than when they arrived. She weaves breathwork, chanting, music, sound frequencies and consent-based touch into her classes, while bringing authenticity, humour and a love of anatomy, the nervous system, breathing and the pelvic floor. As a late-diagnosed, high-masking neurodivergent person, Erica welcomes all neurotypes and strives to create inclusive, trauma-informed and anti-oppressive spaces for all bodies, ages and genders, honouring the spiritual roots of yoga as a practice of liberation.

Kelsey Lomond (she/her) is a Pilates Instructor, completing her 100-hour Mat Pilates in 2025.  Kelsey discovered Pilates through Yoga, a modality she began practicing in 2017, and she was quickly drawn to the way Pilates builds strength while supporting mobility and ease. What started as a way to deepen her own movement practice gradually grew into a love of teaching and creating thoughtful, feel-good flows that honour the body. Kelsey enjoys offering classes that feel welcoming, supportive and gently grounding.

Outside of the studio, Kelsey can often be found hiking, crocheting, reading or baking - simple, nourishing practices that shape the calm, intentional energy she brings into her classes. Kelsey’s approach to teaching is rooted in care, curiosity and the belief that movement can be both strengthening and kind.
