Gilly is from a family of athletes. Growing up in Jasper, Alberta, her family were scaling the peaks and rafting the river valleys in her youth. Biking, hiking, climbing, skiing and competitive running have been key life pursuits. This love of sport has led to an intrigue about how the whole person is involved in an activity.
Whole person? Physical, intellectual, emotional, energy and spiritual. All are involved in play and work and contribute to both enjoyment and performance levels.
Gilly has worked with professionals from many areas … golf, baseball and athletes in general. Workplace settings include law firms, engineering, grocery stores and rafting companies. She facilitates bodymind awareness workshops and has presented at conventions in both Canada and the United States.
Gilly Thomas is a teacher and lifelong learner and she is passionate about health and wellness. She develops presentations which incorporate experiential as well as intellectual aspects so that people “get it from the inside out” and understand why.
She is a professional Rubenfeld Synergist and has a background in education, psychology and nursing. Working With Wellness Inc. was established in 2005 and offers private sessions, online courses and a training program in Somatic Affective Talk & Touch.
In 2020, Gilly founded Somatic Affective Talk and Talk, a training program for professionals who want to integrate present touch and simple dialogue in their practice. The training program is also for people who are interested in learning a new approach in wellness for their own life journey.
A seasoned bodymind therapist, athlete, world traveler, mother, writer and river raft guide, Gilly’s 30+ years of experience working with people guides people to find an easeful way to be!
