Sevrin Baker is a Corrective High-Performance Exercise Kinesiology (C.H.E.K.) Practitioner who has been practicing in Nelson since 2003.

He was first introduced to the field while attending class at his soon to be mentor’s gym. Through this exercise class new and exciting ways to rehabilitate his own injuries and physical problems were learned. He became aware of how many common conceptions of body mechanics and exercise were incorrect, unfounded even. The straight forward explanations made how the human body worked easy to understand. When this understanding was combined with an impressive increase in his balance, coordination, and strength he was determined to learn more.

He has spent the last 16 years improving the process by learning from and incorporating various modalities into his practice.

Intentions

As Ayurvedic Health Counsellor, it is Jordan’s pleasure to genuinely support you with a service that is customized to meet your unique needs. She also intends to encourage you to become your own healer by providing you with easy to implement tools that inspire self-inquiry, awareness building, and mind/body healing. Jordan believes that we all need ways to cultivate strength, resiliency, and compassion. The ancient practices of Ayurveda and yoga can offer just that…and bonus they actually work! She’s experienced this firsthand. Discovering the truth of who we are, healing our bodies, and waking us up to a more meaningful and joyful life is our birthright.

Dharma

Jordan believes that we are all whole and can lead fulfilling lives despite the struggles we’ve endured. In fact, she believe’s that we can grow to see even the hardest moments and experiences as our medicine and our teacher. She deeply values her work and the authentic human connections she gets to make each day. She feels blessed to be in service as I walk alongside individuals during times of challenge, vulnerability, and growth.

Specializations

Ayurveda is a holistic science that looks at the root of illness and disease. Because of this unique approach, she can address a wide range of issues in the body and mind.

Here are a few of the common areas she can be of service:

• Digestive issues
• Hormone imbalance
• Weight loss
• Autoimmune disorders
• Addiction recovery
• Eating disorders
• Stress reduction
• Chronic fatigue
• Skin Issues
• Allergies

Through the art and science of living that is Ayurveda she supports all walks of life (individuals, couples, and families). She can assist you in transforming your relationship with food, developing a sustainable self-care routine, and adopting a personal yoga practice that will strengthen your capacity to digest all things life.

Whether it’s trauma, addiction, grief and loss, loneliness, life transitions, and relationship difficulties, or anxiety, depression, communication, self-esteem, and disordered eating patterns Ayurveda and yoga were designed to restore balance and bring calmness to ALL parts of your being. The results are proper nourishment of every cell, meaning optimal health is achieved and your connection to self becomes much deeper as well as with your loved ones and other creatures!

Background & Experience

As a social worker, Jordan has worked in poverty reduction and homelessness prevention, and developed and ran an at-risk Indigenous youth program. In recent years, she’s worked for the health authority as an acute medical and oncology social worker. She also served as a clinician in a medical doctors office, and worked extensively in the mental health sector as a youth crisis response clinician.

Educationally, she holds a Master’s degree in Social Work and continue’s to receive formal training and mentorship in body-focused psychotherapy with Somatic Experiencing International. During her Masters she did an apprenticeship in family therapy while exploring the use of yoga-based interventions in clinical social work practice. She also teaches trauma-informed yoga for clients and my community at Nelson School of Yoga, and provide educational workshops to the public as an Ayurvedic Health Counsellor. With these experiences, she’s created a unique service that is holistic in nature. Although she certainly draw on the knowledge from the mainstream disciplines of social work and Western therapy, she has found that Ayurveda and Yoga serve as practical tools that cut to the chase and allow change and healing to happen much more quickly and effectively, especially when combined with energetic, somatic, and trauma-informed therapies.

Noémi offers Biofield Tuning, a therapeutic sound balancing modality that works with the body’s electrical system, that is connected to our conscious and subconscious mind, including our memories. We use tuning forks on and around the body to locate and shift stuck energy, helping your body to restore balance and harmony and change the way you respond to stress. When coherent sound is reflected to your body’s electromagnetic field, your body’s organizing intelligence directs sound exactly where it’s needed, dissonance resolves, resistance gives way, and your body knows how to come back to vitality and wholeness.

Born and raised in Hungary, Noémi is a professional singer, voice teacher and choir conductor. After more than 20 years of working with students through music and sound she turned her focus towards sound healing. She offers sound baths with Alchemy Crystal Singing Bowls, supports people in palliative and end of life care, and those who’re going through grief and loss. She lives in Argenta with her partner, loves to go on horseback rides with her dog, and has a small blueberry farm.
