Panelists
​
Jennifer Polansky - What I do is create safe space for women to come home to themselves, which translates into a deeper understanding and connection to who they truly are and what they've come here to do. As a space holder, I use energy medicine, tantric embodiment practise, shamanic clearing, deep womb re-connection and mindfulness to help women unconditionally love and accept themselves, leading to a more meaningful life full of passion, purpose, and authentic relationships.

Sumeet Saini - I adopt a holistic and spiritual approach to address the needs of body, mind and soul, in my work with Gen Z men. It’s challenging to be a sensitive man in our modern world. I support people through these challenges, including improving communication skills for healthy relationships, solving problems creatively, and enhancing emotional intelligence and a sense of one's personal power.

Miranda Borisenko: I am a Registered Social Worker with over 25 years of experience in community mental health, addiction recovery, healing from trauma and restoring loving relationships. As a Certified Yoga and Mediation Teacher (2008), I blend 'western' and 'eastern' approaches to supporting people through relationship challenges. I'm also a Certified Instructor with Mental Health First Aid Canada and have taught Mental Health First Aid courses since 2015 in which participants learn practical ways to support others in mental health crisis.
