HEALER. ARTIST. EDUCATOR
Makai Livingstone
I am a visionary, artist, healer, community worker and the founder of ESS. For me, to be embodied is to bask in the complete acceptance of oneself, mind, body and spirit. I am on my own journey of self-acceptance and self-actualization . At this juncture , I have been called to take my experience as a student of life and community healer, and to channel my energy into servicing the collective.
I have spent the last decade providing peer support, education (by way of workshops and training) coordinating projects and creating community spaces. I have provided workshops and training around holistic inclusion, disability and sexuality, navigating anti-Black racism, exploring masculinity and much more,.
I have been a healer and guide for many, in both community and institutional settings. I am certified in peer support through Peer Support Canada. I approach all of my work from an authentic, compassionate and intentional place, reflective of my own lived experiences. I also have trained in relational psychotherapy. I have experience living with and holding space for mental health challenges, substance use, isolation, suicidal ideation, working through intergenerational trauma and cultivating person/manhood. I would be honoured to both support and witness the journey of anyone wishing to access my services.
