Many people find me because they’re tired of managing stress that never fully settles — in their bodies, their relationships, or both.
They might be dealing with recurring pain or tension, difficulty slowing down, or a pattern of over-giving and pushing past their limits even when they know better.
My work looks at how these patterns are held in the nervous system and reinforced through habit, attention, and language. We work somatically and mindfully to build more internal structure — so change doesn’t rely on willpower or constant self-correction.
Some people come here to reduce physical stress and pain.
Others come for self-development: clearer boundaries, steadier self-trust, and more choice in how they respond.
This is practical, embodied work designed to translate into daily life.

Krishna Kolen, Student (PhD in Geography)
I have taken part in many of Madi’s programs, including Boundary Babe, somatics, and a number of free workshops she has offered. I would strongly recommend any of Madi’s courses. She is passionate about her work and does a great job. You can tell that she really cares about her clients and I have seen amazing results from all of the classes I have taken part in. She is extremely professional and kind. Thank you Madi for making such a positive impact in my life. I look forward to continuing with your work in the future
Christine Lee, Founder Northern Pilates Studio
Madi brings an unparalleled authenticity and compassion to her teaching. Her raw and genuine approach not only inspires but also motivates participants to truly engage in the process of self-discovery and growth. It has been enlightening to witness firsthand what dedicated effort can accomplish under her guidance. As a result of her teachings, my relationship with my partner has flourished; we communicate more openly and effectively, which has deepened our emotional connection.
Dan Nagy, Founder Emmett Leo Homes
Madison’s classes made me focus on muscles my body had forgotten and even some tiny movements were really difficult. Not only did the class make me slow down, and focus on my breath, and my body, but also forced me to allow my body and my mind the freedom to move in ways that I don’t ever move. After every class, I felt amazing. And this was all done virtually, where Madison did an amazing job at walking me through and helping me every step of the way. Madison is calm, soothing, loving, and fun to be around in her class. I felt completely at ease despite doing the class surrounded by my kid's toys in our basement.
Lorna Doerksen, Professor SIAST
The benefits I find have been gradual BUT significant. After about six months of classes with Madison, I noticed that my right knee stopped being as sore and irritating as it had been. Within a year I could go up and down stairs with virtually no pain. Today I can go up and down stairs without holding onto a railing, rarely experience pain — particularly going downstairs, and I can “jog” for a short period of time without any pain.

Every relationship in my life has improved.. I’ve discovered who I am at my core, and for the first time, I trust my gut more than ever. I feel secure in where I am right now, even without knowing exactly what the future holds. When we first started, I was so anxious about my plans for the next six months. There were so many variables up in the air, and it felt overwhelming. Now, I feel calm knowing that I trust my judgment and that I’m capable of handling whatever comes my way.
Shawn Setyo, Futureprenuer
Somatics has helped me move parts of my body and be aware of muscles that I don't think I've engaged in a long time. I find the classes more challenging than a yoga class, and I think that's because we are forced to slow down and move parts of our body that we haven't used in a long time. My lower back pain has been relieved from these Somatic Movements. Sitting hunched all day has put strain on my back. But through somatics, I've been able to open up more and reduce strain and pressure on the lower back. "

"Madi’s presence in her teaching emits a truly palpable gentleness, acceptance, care, and loving-kindness. She is evidently holistically-minded as she leads a practice to address the entire person: body, mind, and spirit. I was going through a difficult time in life when I began attending her classes, and in them, I found much refuge and peace. From her gentle voice and her guided therapeutic breathing exercises to her emphasis on proper alignment and joint protection to her relieving and care-filled “meltdown” body-scan during Shavasana, Madi genuinely infuses her classes with her bright, playful, caring, and healing energy."
