Hello!
Cami Thelander specializes in a mindful, body-oriented approach to healing from loss, combining her expertise as a Grief Coach and Craniosacral Therapy Practitioner. Her journey into this field is deeply personal and stems from her own experiences with loss and grief. Cami faced the profound impact of grief early in life, with the loss of her father to ALS at the age of 11, followed by the passing of her stepfather from prostate cancer four years later.
For a decade, Cami navigated through the complexities of unresolved grief, which manifested in chronic illness. This period of physical and emotional turmoil eventually led her to recognize the necessity of processing loss in a healthy, holistic manner. This realization marked the beginning of her exploration into various healing modalities.
Cami's approach is rooted in an integrative blend of Yoga/Mindfulness, Essential Oils, Craniosacral Therapy, and Grief Coaching. This comprehensive methodology not only facilitated her own healing but also equipped her with a unique set of tools and insights. Today, Cami dedicates her practice to serving others in their journey through grief.
In her work, Cami focuses on empowering her clients, helping them transform the pain and disorientation of loss into lives enriched with meaning and purpose. Her empathetic, yet practical approach provides a supportive space for individuals to navigate their grief, fostering healing and growth.

About:
At Bear Foot Yogi, we are dedicated to guiding you on a transformative journey of self-discovery and healing, rooted in the principles of yoga and a deep connection to the physical and spiritual self. Our ethos is centered around the belief that understanding and nurturing our bodies is fundamental to our overall well-being and ability to thrive through life's challenges.
Bear Foot Yogi stands as a symbol of our innate connection to our physical selves, our bodies, and the earth beneath us. It embodies the concept of grounding and the importance of remaining present throughout the various stages of life. In the tradition of yoga, which signifies oneness and wholeness, Bear Foot Yogi represents the path of healing and the integration of our spiritual essence into our physical form.
Our mission is to facilitate the recognition and removal of obstacles that hinder our ability to realize the inherent wholeness within us. We believe that a comprehensive understanding of our biological functions and interactions with the world is crucial in overcoming stress and suffering. Ensuring optimal bodily function not only supports our physical health but also enhances our capacity to be fully present and engage meaningfully with life.
Moreover, Bear Foot Yogi acknowledges the presence of a deeper, non-physical energy that animates our existence. This connection to our spiritual selves is a vital component of the healing process, encompassing our emotions, willpower, and the creation of meaning in our lives. Balancing our non-physical aspects is as important as nurturing our physical selves, shaping our understanding of humanity and existence.
We advocate for a holistic approach where the biological perception of the world harmonizes with our universal/spiritual understanding. This integration, or 'yoking', of our dual aspects fosters wholeness and embodies the true essence of being human. Join us at Bear Foot Yogi as we walk alongside you on this journey, embracing life and death with awareness, compassion, and a holistic sense of self.
