Somatic Care + Integenerational Money Work

“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 think about money more than you’d like to admit.

You do mental math in your head while grocery shopping. You calculate future expenses before saying yes to dinner. If you’re honest, your relationship to money feels a bit like a bill collector whose calls you’re avoiding — persistent, stressful, impossible to ignore.

Your body lets you know before your mind does. Tight chest. Racing thoughts. A wave of dread when you open your banking app.

And you know this didn’t start with you.

You carry the stories of parents who sacrificed everything. Of immigration. Of instability. Of “we don’t talk about money” or “we don’t waste money” or “we can’t afford mistakes.” You learned to push yourself. To be responsible. To succeed.

But pushing harder hasn’t created ease.

Instead, there’s shame. Avoidance. Overwhelm. Sleepless nights. A quiet fear that you should have figured this out by now.

And still - you want something different.

You want to create your own money legacy. You want less sececy and more self-trust. You want to talk about money without spiraling. You want your nervous system to feel safe in the presence of it.

You don’t just want more money.

You want a different relationship with money.

Welcome to Liberated Care!

Hi, there!

I’m Candice, founder of Liberated Care Therapy and Consulting—a Black-owned, woman-founded practice based in Toronto, Ontario. I help ambitious adults from immigrant communities in Canada who’ve been labelled as “too sensitive” process friendship rupture and grief, relationship wounds, and intergenerational money trauma through a somatic approach.

I know that finding a therapist can feel overwhelming, and what matters most is whether we’ll vibe and if I can help with the challenges you’re bringing. My goal is to create a space where you can bring the intersections of your identity and experience, so that together we can navigate your healing journey in a way that feels affirming.

Beyond one-on-one therapy, I also work as a mentor, consultant, and facilitator, supporting individuals and organizations in creating trauma-aware spaces that look at health within the context of larger systems. Whether I’m guiding someone through a personal healing process, facilitating workshops, or consulting with an organization, my aim is always to hold space for complexity and to offer body-based care.

I center the experiences of Black, Indigenous, and People of the Global Majority, as well as 2SLGBTQ+ and immigrant communities. I bring my whole self to the work—part body wisdom advocate, part resource queen—so you can feel supported both emotionally and practically.

If this feels like the right space for you, free free to book a free 30 minute vibe check.

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.

  • A space for BIPOC professionals in education, healthcare, HR, social impact, and organizational equity roles to access support and care.

    This mentorship space attends to the deeper, often unspoken layers that shape your work and wellbeing — including money trauma, the emotional toll of care and institutional labour, and systemic inequities that rarely get named or fairly compensated.

    It is for anyone who wants to relate to work, money, and wellbeing differently. Together, we rebuild boundaries and focus on sustainable practices that support your wellbeing.


  • This work supports your relationship with money using somatic practices, personal reflection, and strengths-based tools. It’s a compassionate space to explore your money origin stories with curiosity and care—no budgeting spreadsheets, just deeper understanding and healing.

    Single sessions and 3-session coaching packages are available.

  • 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.
