“Thank you for helping me slow down, be more connected, and more thoughtful. Without your help, I don't know how long it would have taken for me to fully incorporate that.”

Client Experiences
Hi Candace, I wanted to reach out and share this, but it’s been hard to put into words. The shift that’s occurred for me since starting to work with you is absolutely shocking. I thought I was heading into a mid-life crisis. But now I’ve come into a way of being present that I’ve never experienced before. I couldn’t have imagined it before it happened. After an entire lifetime, I finally feel like I’m not in a hole. I feel more neutral, even at peace. And it’s not just siloed in certain parts of my life. It’s spread into all parts of my life. Thank you for walking me through the fear. Thank you for creating space for my inner self to breathe. I just can’t thank you enough.
~ BF
No one has ever been able to help me quiet my mind like this. I’m a client for life.
~ MA
Feeling calm, fulfilled and, yes, even confident today. Great session this morning. It was a fun, loving, and soul-filling hour! Thank you.
~ AT
Thank you for being a beacon of light in my life.
~ RM
Hi Candace, it was a very nice session today! Once again, I was feeling somewhat hungry thereafter. But important thing, I have been feeling relieved and at peace, like I got rid of something, something that had pulled me down. In a sense, the session was eye-opening for me. You said something that gave me a big aha. I must have heard about that before, but now it feels so clear. You are amazing!
~ LG
All this work is starting to make me more productive in my life and work. I am slowly getting out of my funk and depression. I am addressing things I have been putting off for a long time. You have been a big part of that unblocking. Thank you.
~ KL
Thank you for providing such an amazing learning experience. As a physician, my footing has been in the ways of western science and medicine. I am proud I had the courage to look for a teacher who incorporates the eastern perspectives, and I'm so glad I found you.
My new goal is to be a more present person. One who experiences joy and delight in this world. I am so fortunate to have found a teacher who is generous and willing to offer her energy, her courage, her trust, and her enthusiasm. I can't wait for our next session!
~ Eric R, MD
Candace has helped me through a very difficult divorce. She’s helped me with mental and emotional healing, creating new focus and perspective, and learning (for the first time maybe) how to relax.
~ HF
Just want to express my gratitude for the session yesterday. It was perfect. It was soooo relaxing, as well as educational. I learned so much about myself, about letting go and receiving, and how that makes for healthier relationships. Thank you.
~ TM
Candace, you have opened my eyes, my mind, and my heart to the beauty around me. Thank you for everything.
~ KL
Thank you Candace. I think the work that you and I have done has been amazing, and has really put in new neural pathways that allow me to move on! Now I have optimism, which I am very grateful for! Today was one of those days that I knew would be coming and I am very thankful for the techniques that I have learned! I know there are going to be down days, but I feel equipped to deal with them a lot better than I was six months ago. It is nice to have all the things we have talked about in my arsenal to help me on this journey. Thank you for helping me be aware of some of the feelings that I have and ways to try and make things better. I very much appreciate the path that you have laid out for me!
~ Harry F., M.D.
Candace, I truly enjoyed my session with you today. I especially appreciate your willingness to be open and tell me more about your own journey. I feel very encouraged. You are a great guide, and I’m so glad I found you.
~ KB
My gut, not my head, told me that I needed to commit to working with you. This gut reaction was so strong that I did not hesitate one moment. I knew that time with you would be life changing.
~ MI
Your being exudes kindness and love; and to experience it is to experience deep relaxation and inner peace.
~ EZ
Hi Candace, it was a great session, indeed! That practice/exercise that you had me do in the beginning was exactly what I needed to calm down. How did you know that? You may be a clairvoyant 🙂.
~ Leo G.
I came to Candace feeling totally blocked with my partner and looking for ways to re establish safety within my body and release anything that was blocking me due to prior sexual abuse. My session was surprisingly gentle, playful, and nurturing. I thought it would be really sad or really intense but it was just kind of delightful. From beginning to end and everything in between- I felt so held, so met, so cared for. Candace is a remarkable being. She truly is so present, so attuned, and just an all-around gift to this planet. I felt so much warmth and care. It was incredibly profound and so, so, so healing in every way. What I’d tell you if you’re feeling blocked or stuck: Just do it. Don’t look to understand. Just jump in. There is magic there, go find out for yourself.
~ Clara F
You blow my mind over and over again.
~LT
Hi Candace, I just want to share a bit about our session yesterday. Initially, I was skeptical about the practice you gave me, and reluctant to do it, to be honest. I do not think I would have ever started doing it, had it not been for your assignment. Now, as I have been getting into the groove with the practice, I feel more excited about it. It actually feels good. So relieving. Somehow I’m getting some kind of electrifying feeling, getting warmth all over... Thank you so much for assigning this practice! 🙏🙏🙏
~ LG
During one of our sessions you said something I’d “heard” before, but I’d never actually been able to hear it. I heard it that day in my heart. I think that helped me crack open. Thank you.
~ BF
“Candace, I must share with you how you have influenced me and the world in which you play. You are a living example of alchemy.... moving disease, pain and anguish and turning it into real life transformation!”

This is the best I’ve felt in I can’t remember how long.
~ Jocyln
Ummm, I think that was life-changing. It’s like getting back in touch with the part of me that I didn’t know I lost. Thank you.
~ Lisa
I’m feeling really relaxed right now. I can honestly probably fall asleep. As much as I resisted being here tonight, I thought, “Well I need to just move.” And moving in community…it’s just so nice.
~ Mariah
I love all your song choices. So good. I get right in there and access some of my emotions. I feel so much better than I have in weeks.
~ Meaghan
Candace, you changed my life by showing me how it looks to graciously receive and to enjoy the sensuality of receiving. You are a living embodiment of authentic charm.
~ Robin C.
Thank you for leading us today. I feel resourced and connected to my body, my emotions, and how they move together. 💫
~ Mia
That was magical and so needed. Thank you.~ Ela C.Hi Candace! The last session you held for us gave me sooo much life. Seriously had a massive breakthrough and it was in large part because of your immense light and space holding.
~ Kendall
The way you embrace the sensual nature of a woman and weave it into everything about you is exciting to witness.
~ MI
The BodyBliss structure and freedom really appeals to me. It's just beyond inclusive, which is wonderful for me because I have limited mobility. You give us ideas, you guide us, and but we have total freedom to feel into what we do (or don’t do). It's just this sort of alchemy, and I have the chance to participate on my own terms.
~ Erin
You’re such a good reminder to me to go IN before I go out. I got to watch you model surrendering, receiving. You showed me HOW to do that. How to take ownership of that mechanism.
~ Valerie M.
I REALLY REALLY like participating in your gatherings. You are amazing. So attuned on many nuanced levels, skilled in taking us to where I didn't even know I could go. And needed to go. SO transformative and healing. This is the one thing I'm looking forward to!
~ Lucy
Thank you, Candace. That was such a turn-on and release. Perfect.
~ Brie
You create such a beautiful container that provides the perfect way to practice acceptance in my body.
~ Aliyah
I still feel such a resonance with your energy and the sessions you provided us. It's like you delivered me the codes to access and prioritize my pleasure. Thank you.
~ KJ
I just want to say I’m also amazed at how much- even though I know how important and how good it feels- I can avoid moving. I somehow convince myself to stay there without moving. BodyBliss is a welcome shift. I’m so grateful to be part of this right now.
~Mary
BodyBliss flipped my switch. I connected intimately with myself again, and I need more of that. It’s so good to have space for it, because otherwise I just forget. This is a reminder of that precious, precious thing. So thank you.
~ Ruth
This was actually the longest amount of time that I’ve stayed connected. I felt like: I’m not gonna do anything but go really slowly and just feel what this feels like. And be in that pleasure for myself. If I’m stretching my muscles, it’s not because I “need” to stretch. No, it’s because it feels good. And I can move in a way that only feels good. And be present in my body. Oh wow, there’s so much possibility here.
~ Sarita
Somehow Candace is able to simultaneously bask in pleasure and receive magnetically, while generously/mischievously making others feel welcome and invited to feel the same way. I’ll have what she’s having!!!
~ Valerie V.
I have been bathing in stress hormones for the past 2 days. And then during class you were talking about all the different parts that can be here. It’s like oh, thank god, you know? I don’t have to be pretty, I don’t have to be this, don’t have to have it all together. I can just let my parts be. I feel strangely calm now. So thank you.
~ LM
During class I started feeling a deep acceptance of all these different facets, all these different experiences that we circle through. A feeling that everything is to be treasured. Thank you so much.
~ Shilpa
I just want to note that, I think I’m needing a lot of self love personally. I had a tough thing happen today. And I think I just needed some self-love to sort of get me out of shock. So the whole meditation that you led us through, it made me cry. My body melted into me, and it was the beginning of what I needed.
~ Ruth
This movement class is the highlight of my week. It’s what keeps me going, I look forward to it so much.
~ Kim
I think that is almost exactly what I would say. Getting back in touch with the part of me I lost… And then I’m like, oh my god. I didn’t even know this whole part of me existed. Like, suddenly I feel human again.
~ Lavon
During this class, I think probably for the first time in my life, I loved my sadness. I don’t want to stop. it feels radiant and good.
~ Erica
The whole class yesterday was just really integrating for me. I realized that' it’s so precious to have this, me, this exact version of me, right here, you know? Instead of scattering it all out to the world.
I think everybody wants this feeling.
~ Lorie
I had this realization during class tonight: I am the one person who’s never going to leave me. But actually I had sort of left me. So I said to myself: come back. This is home. Come on in.
~ Brittany
Candace, I loved your class this evening! You had me feeling so alive, after just a few minutes of movement.
~ Mara S.
Your gift with movement is divine. I was so moved by your embodied leadership. Your grounding helped me find a sweet spot where I could drop into my body and genuinely enjoy.
~ Sarah K.
It felt so sweet to move and sink in. I loved your prompts. I wanted to go longer and just keep it going, get lost in it.
~ EB

“I felt like you really connected just directly with me and you were feeling and reading me and helping me hear myself.”
— Sasha, private session
“Open letter to anyone considering working with Candace.
This mentorship over the past six months has been a life-changing and magical experience in many ways. She helped me open my Chakras, awaken eros, energy flow, and more importantly ability to connect within to tap into the unlimited possibilities.
She is an excellent coach. Her sessions are divine and healing. She is very good at learning your needs, setting expectations, and helping you to get to your goals in life. She is a pure-hearted goddess and wants the best for you. Highly recommend her if you want to explore the possibility of your ‘Being’ beyond your imagination. It is a blessing to work with her.”
