About Me

Welcome. I’m Camille MacRae (they/them), and I’m here to walk beside you as you reconnect with your body, reclaim your power, and remember what’s possible.

I’m a trauma-informed coach, somatic practitioner, and facilitator with a Master’s in Interdisciplinary Studies focused on Equity Studies. My work is rooted in a deep understanding of how systems, trauma, and the nervous system shape our lives and how we can reclaim agency, clarity, and aliveness in the face of it all.

This work is personal and political. Lived and studied. Felt and forged.

And I meet it with reverence, precision, and a fierce belief in your wholeness.

What Inspires My Work

I’ve studied oppression, trauma, and fear, not just in the classroom, but in real life. My path has been shaped by navigating systems that were never built to support me, leaving high-control systems, surviving violence, and rebuilding life on my own terms.

What drives me now is simple and profound:

✨ To help people reconnect with their body’s wisdom.

✨ To support resilience that’s not performative—but embodied and real.

✨ To contribute to systems that care for people, not just manage them.

I hold particular care for 2SLGBTQIA+ folks, survivors, and those navigating transformation, especially while straddling worlds, whether personal, systemic, or spiritual.

My Approach

I integrate evidence-based techniques with a compassionate, client-centred philosophy to support you in reconnecting with your body, uncovering your strengths, and cultivating resilience. Together, we explore how mind, body, and social context intertwine, fostering empowerment and wholeness.
