Stacey Litzen
OWNER & INSTRUCTOR
Certified yoga therapist Stacey combines extensive clinical training with 25 years of caregiving experience to support individuals facing chronic pain, stress, and complex health challenges as a certified yoga therapist. Her work, including her role in a McMaster University research project, reflects her commitment to evidence-informed, compassionate therapeutic care.
FULL BIO:
Stacey Litzen is a certified yoga therapist and Pain Care Aware certified. She is very passionate about helping others navigate their healing journeys and life afterwards. She dedicated 25 years of her life to homeschooling and supporting her children to reach their full potential. As her children transitioned to their own life paths, she turned her attention to spending the last 4 years, over 1000 hours of training and 250 hours of both group and individual practicum to become a yoga therapist. She is taking the same determination, positive attitude, and caring that she used to help her children succeed to support her clients. Whether it is recovering from cancer treatments, osteoarthritis, chronic pain, mobility challenges, sleep problems, menopause, stress, recovering from grief, PTSD, ADHD, anxiety or some other kind of physical, emotional or mental health issue that you would like help with, Stacey is there to guide you with her vast knowledge and experience, patience and a dash of humour (okay, maybe a little more than a dash). She is very excited to be the therapeutic yoga facilitator for the past year in a research project with McMaster University that is investigating how yoga and transcranial brain stimulation can help reduce chronic pain.
