About me

 

Christi-an Slomka (she/her)
Registered Psychotherapist

I’m a queer mama who walks life's winding path with an open heart, a sense of humour and a commitment to working towards a kinder and more just world.

I supported thousands of people in their mental health journeys as a community educator with Calm (2017-2022).

As the director at Kula Yoga Annex in downtown Toronto (2009-14), I’m proud of the work I did with studio manager, jamilah malika abu-bakare to lead change in the wider yoga community. During a time when there was significant resistance to conversations around anti-oppression and cultural appropriation, we co-created a more inclusive, accessible and trauma-informed space.

Personally, I have benefitted greatly from both my mindfulness practices and going to therapy. Professionally, I consider it an honor to support others on their unique path of healing and self-discovery.
