Hi, my name is Anika Rasheed (she/her)

As a Certified Trauma-Informed Somatic Practitioner and Sound Healer, Dancer/Performer, and Organizational Wellness Consultant, I support communities of care, corporate workplaces and employees, and creative professionals from the movement and wellness industries, to cultivate nervous system awareness, emotional regulation, and well-being.
 

My work integrates neuroscience, mindfulness, movement, and sound to offer practical, accessible tools that help people feel more grounded, resilient, and connected to themselves. My sessions blend psychoeducation with guided experience, including breathwork, gentle somatic movement (seated or standing), grounding practices, and sound-based relaxation.
 

I have facilitated over 100 wellness sessions across Toronto, working with diverse groups including seniors, corporate workplaces and employees, community organizations, women’s programs, spas, wellness and dance studios, and with students and educational institutions. My approach is adaptable and inclusive, supporting participants across different ages, abilities, and life experiences.

With over a decade of experience in public service including equity policy, people and culture, employee engagement, and change management, I bring both systems-level understanding and lived experience into my work.

My clients have shared that I am known for creating safe, engaging spaces where participants can explore practical tools for managing stress and burnout, building self-awareness, and supporting their mental and emotional health.
