Somatic Care + Money Coaching

“What if you could hear the world between your heartbeats? Slow down enough to deepen into trust.”
- Alexis Pauline Gumbs in Undrowned: Black Feminist Lessons from Marine Mammals

You’re the one others rely on — showing up, holding it all together, caring for everyone else. You’ve learned to push through, even when your body is asking you to slow down.

You might be feeling the weight of burnout, racial battle fatigue, perfectionism, or the impact of navigating systems not built with your wellbeing in mind.

I work with people who are ready to explore their healing through the body — who want to reconnect with themselves in a space that honors both personal experience and systemic context. Whether you're seeking individual therapy, support in your relationships, or space to examine your relationship with money or care, this is a space for you to feel held, seen, and resourced.

Hi, there! My name is Candice!

I’m the founder of Liberated Care Therapy and Consulting, a Black-owned, woman-founded therapy and consulting business based in Tkaronto (Toronto), Ontario. I see myself as both a body wisdom advocate and a resource queen! I support individuals and organizations seeking somatic care within a container that connects health and wellbeing to an understanding of systems of oppression.

My goal is to create a space where people truly feel held with care. I am committed to advancing conversations about health in equitable, affirming structures grounded in social justice, collective care, and holistic frameworks.

I center the experiences of Black, Indigenous, and People of the Global Majority.

Welcome to Liberated Care!

Somatic + Relational Work

  • Reconnecting with your body can be challenging, especially if trauma has made it feel unsafe or unfamiliar. In individual therapy, we slow down together to gently notice what your body is communicating, making space for your experience without rushing to fix it. This somatic approach helps uncover the stories and wisdom your body holds, opening new possibilities for healing and growth.

  • I support couples and duos exploring disconnection and connection in relationships. Together, we slow down to navigate communication challenges, trust issues, shifting roles, and conflict, creating space for clarity and deeper connection.

    This work includes romantic partners, friends, siblings, or collaborators.

  • This coaching series supports your relationship with money through somatic practices, reflection, and strengths-based tools designed to meet you where you are. It’s a compassionate space to explore your money story with kindness and curiosity—acknowledging overwhelm and shame without judgment. No financial advice or products involved, just personal growth and healing.

  • My facilitation is relational, reflective, and liberatory. I help participants connect their lived experiences to systemic critiques, affirm their instincts, and imagine new pathways — all while gently guiding them toward community and self-preservation.

    I consult and partner with organizations to design trauma-informed, equity-centered learning experiences that foster connection and growth.

    In addition, I offer onsite embedded mental health support services for wellness spaces with a somatic approach.
