At the Greenwell Center for Holistic Health, I often speak about the importance of building a personal wellness toolbox. CanBeWell extends that vision by bringing together evidence-informed approaches, educational opportunities, and a supportive community that helps individuals, families, and health professionals discover new ways to cultivate resilience, vitality, and balance.

I invite you to explore the many resources available through CanBeWell. Our public newsletter is filled with wellness tips, upcoming events, educational opportunities, and inspiring stories that are easy to share with friends, family, clients, and colleagues who may be looking for practical approaches to self-care and whole-person wellness.

Throughout the year, CanBeWell offers classes, workshops, community conversations, retreats, and special events that highlight the growing field of BioEnergetic Wellness. Two of our signature initiatives are especially exciting this year:

• World Mental Health Day – October 10 brings together practitioners from around the world to share simple, accessible wellness tools that support mental health and everyday resilience.
• The Legacy Leader Awards – November 2026 celebrate individuals who are advancing the profession through innovation, education, research, leadership, and community service, inspiring the next generation of wellness leaders.

Whether you are just beginning your wellness journey or are an experienced practitioner looking to expand your knowledge, CanBeWell offers resources that encourage curiosity, connection, and lifelong learning.

I encourage you to visit CanBeWell, subscribe to the public newsletter, and discover how BioEnergetic Wellness can become part of your own wellness story. Together, we are building healthier communities—one person, one family, and one meaningful connection at a time.

I hope you’ll join us on this journey.

This year, our podcast episode highlights the work of the Canadian Association of BioEnergetic Wellness and shines a special spotlight on CanBeWell.org, an initiative devoted to empowering individuals with practical tools, education, and community support for their wellness journey.

A Journey of Service and Leadership

My involvement with the Canadian Association of BioEnergetic Wellness spans several decades, reflecting a deep commitment to advancing wellness education and helping people discover their own innate healing potential. Since 2020, I have had the privilege of serving as President of the Association, helping guide its vision of making bioenergetic wellness education accessible to both facilitators and the public.

Joining me in this journey is Natascha Polomski, who has served as Treasurer and Bookkeeper since 2020. Her dedication and thoughtful stewardship help ensure that the organization can continue to grow, develop programs, and support the communities we serve.

In our Podcasthon conversation, Natascha and I share the story of the Association’s growth, the volunteers who sustain it, and the many initiatives designed to bring wellness education to people seeking a deeper understanding of their health.

Highlighting CanBeWell.org

This year’s Podcasthon episode highlights CanBeWell.org, a platform created to bring together wellness resources, courses, and community opportunities.

CanBeWell.org is designed as a gateway for people who want to become more engaged in their own wellbeing. Through the site, individuals can explore:

• Wellness plans designed to support self-awareness and healthy lifestyle practices
• Courses that introduce energy-based approaches to wellbeing
• Events and community conversations that encourage learning and connection
• Opportunities to support wellness education through donations

Support for this initiative helps expand programs that increase mental health awareness, stress reduction, overall wellbeing, and provide skills-based training in areas such as muscle monitoring and biofeedback, empowering individuals with practical tools to understand their body’s responses and support balanced wellbeing.

Strength Through Collaboration

The Canadian Association of BioEnergetic Wellness does not work alone. Our mission is strengthened through collaborations with organizations dedicated to advancing education, research, and awareness in energy-based wellness practices.

These valued partners include:

• Atlantic Therapeutic Touch Network – an organization supporting the practice and education of Therapeutic Touch across the Maritime Provinces of Canada
• Therapeutic Touch Network of Canada – advancing Therapeutic Touch nationally through training and professional development, and internationally with TTIA
• Muscle Tuners International – supporting the practice and research of muscle monitoring techniques and muscle strength and endurance
• Natural BioEnergetics – promoting awareness of bioenergetic principles in health and wellbeing
• Brain Gym Canada – offering educational movement practices that support learning and cognitive function

In fact, Natascha also shares a podcast highlighting the work of the Atlantic Therapeutic Touch Network, demonstrating how these organizations are interconnected in their commitment to helping people discover practical ways to support their health.

A Cup of Playtime Tea

Every episode of the podcast includes a tea ritual, and this Podcasthon episode features Playtime Tea from the Cape Breton Tea Company.

With notes of Chocolate, Peppermint, and delicate Apple blossom, this blend invites us to reconnect with curiosity, creativity, and joy.

The spirit of play is an important reminder that wellness does not have to feel heavy or complicated. Sometimes the most powerful shifts occur when we allow ourselves to relax, explore, and approach life with openness.

A warm cup of tea can become a ritual of pause—an invitation to reflect on how we care for ourselves and how we engage with the world around us.

Engaging in Wellness Rather Than Dis-Ease

One of the central ideas explored in our Podcasthon conversation is the difference between engaging with wellness and engaging with dis-ease.

When people become focused only on illness, symptoms, or fear, their journey can feel disempowering. Health becomes something that happens to them rather than something they can actively participate in.

Bioenergetic wellness invites a different perspective.

It encourages individuals to become curious about their bodies, their emotions, and their energy patterns. Through practices such as movement, breath, energy awareness, muscle monitoring, and biofeedback, individuals can begin to understand the subtle ways their bodies communicate.

This shift—from fear to curiosity—opens the door to personal empowerment.

Instead of asking, “What is wrong with me?” we begin asking,
“What is my body telling me, and how can I support balance and harmony?”

This mindset transforms the wellness journey from one of limitation to one of possibility.

Supporting the Mission

The work of the Canadian Association of BioEnergetic Wellness and CanBeWell.org is driven by volunteers, educators, and practitioners who believe that wellness education should be accessible to everyone.

If this mission resonates with you, there are several ways to become involved:

• Explore wellness resources, courses, and events through CanBeWell.org
• Share the podcast and wellness resources with others
• Participate in community conversations and learning opportunities
• Consider making a donation to support mental health awareness and wellness education initiatives

Every conversation, every course, and every act of support helps expand access to tools that empower individuals to care for their health with greater awareness and confidence.

Wellness begins with awareness.

Empowerment grows through education and community.

Through Podcasthon, we are reminded that when people come together with a shared purpose—to support wellbeing, understanding, and compassion—small actions can ripple outward to create meaningful change.

And sometimes, that conversation begins with a cup of tea and a willingness to explore the possibilities within our own wellness journey.

The post Podcasthon 2026: Amplifying Wellness Through Community first appeared on Greenwell Center for Holistic Health.

There are practitioners who understand the body.
And then there are practitioners who understand the body in motion, in stress, in compensation — and know exactly how to simplify what seems complex.

We are honoured to welcome Denise Cambiotti, founder of Muscle Tuners International and presenter on behalf of Muscle Tuners and Business Code Breakers with Evelyn Mulders, to the Artfilled Wellness Retreat.

Denise is widely recognized as one of Canada’s top BioEnergetic Wellness Professionals. Her ability to identify muscular imbalances, decode functional dysfunction, and explain intricate body mechanics in clear, succinct language is second to none.

When Denise teaches, complexity becomes clarity.

A Master of Simplification and Results

Denise specializes in identifying and resolving muscular imbalances and dysfunctions using:

• Muscle Response Testing
• Acupressure
• Meridian-based corrections
• SIPS and LEAP protocols
• Functional integration strategies

Her approach is both clinical and compassionate — empowering clients and practitioners alike to overcome pain, restore balance, and optimize physical performance.

She has built a reputation for producing noticeable, lasting changes, especially when other methods have plateaued.

Through her professional-level online programs, Denise trains:

• Body therapists
• Energy workers
• Fitness professionals

She also licenses and mentors Muscle Tuner® Specialists, extending career longevity and improving practitioner satisfaction by teaching time-tested, proprietary techniques that work.

At the Retreat: Two Transformative Experiences

Denise will be offering two powerful and accessible sessions designed for both practitioners and personal self-care explorers.

Dynamic Tissue Reset

A Crown Jewel Muscle Tuners Method

The Dynamic Tissue Reset technique rapidly clears interference in meridian pathways and their related:

• Muscles
• Tendons
• Ligaments
• Fascia

This simple yet sophisticated method also addresses stress influences arising from the circulatory, lymphatic, and nervous systems. Even more remarkable, it can assist in clearing trapped emotional interference — without requiring verbal processing.

When unrecognized factors prevent lasting relief, this method provides a new pathway forward.

Participants will experience a repeatable self-care approach they can continue long after the retreat ends — a practical, body-based tool for maintaining comfort, strength, and vitality.

Inner Radiance Codebreaker

Aligning Intention with Purpose

In collaboration with Business Code Breakers, Denise will guide participants through the Inner Radiance Codebreaker experience — an exploration designed to enliven intention and support life mission and spiritual development.

This process helps participants:

• Explore hidden beliefs that may interfere with their soul journey
• Pinpoint emotional triggers and neutralize their effects
• Expand spiritual perspective
• Reignite purpose by supporting five dimensions of the energy field
• Leverage vibration to shift energy into alignment with intention

This offering beautifully complements the retreat’s Five Element, Spine Resonance, and NeuroArts explorations — linking physical tissue intelligence with energetic and spiritual alignment.

Where BioEnergetics Meets Practical Application

Denise guides health providers and health-seekers alike in connecting with the body’s innate intelligence to create fast, lasting changes in comfort, strength, and function — even when traditional approaches have plateaued.

Her work fits seamlessly into the Artfilled Wellness Retreat because she bridges:

• Structure and subtle energy
• Biomechanics and meridian pathways
• Physical release and emotional integration
• Precision and accessibility

Participants can expect to leave with both inspiration and immediately usable tools.

Why This Matters

In a retreat filled with music, art, Tai Chi, sound, and spine resonance exploration, Denise brings a grounded, clinically intelligent anchor — showing how the body reorganizes when interference is cleared and alignment is restored.

This is not theory.
This is experience.
This is application.

An Invitation

If you have ever:

• Felt stuck in recurring pain patterns
• Wondered why some approaches work temporarily but not sustainably
• Wanted simple self-care tools that actually make a difference
• Desired greater alignment between your physical body and life purpose

Denise’s sessions alone are worth the journey.

The Artfilled Wellness Retreat offers a rare opportunity to experience her work in an immersive, collaborative setting — alongside music, movement, NeuroArts, and the natural beauty of Cape Breton Island.

Spaces are intentionally limited to preserve depth and integration.

A.M.E. for Greatness Project 2024

Dr Michelle Greenwell (Canada), Einav Avni (UK), Ann Smets (Belgium).

The AME for Greatness Project provides a series of private sessions for clients with chronic health conditions, where they can work with three different facilitators from three different approaches, with a plan derived from biofeedback using muscle monitoring. This collaborative effort has brought together the tips and tools of the training of each facilitator.  Together they have created intake and post-session surveys, an exit survey, special monthly gatherings, magnifying daily programming, and post-evaluation notes for the facilitators. Combining the skills of Touch for Health, Therapeutic Touch, Qi Gong, Tai Chi, metaphysical explorations, Brain, Body, and Emotion Code techniques and clinical work, the group has identified how to work collaboratively for the higher good of the client, while learning and growing with each other’s skills.  They also do sessions for each other to bring them closer together and understand the perspective and skills of each partner. Their documented case studies are carefully collected for optimum understanding of success and outcomes. 

Receiving the Award

Michelle’s receiving words: Our ambition for the future is to support a stronger framework for documenting case studies and progress so we can begin to better understand the energetic healing process.  Collaborations and integration of skills, and fostering skill development between facilitators provides for a mentoring process that has not been accessible in our isolated ways of clinical work or class settings. And, providing a system for people to access to understand priority healing needs and progressive care that considers the need of the person and the facilitators specialty.  We want to inspire moving people from a “throw everything at it” approach which negates some activities and creates costly excess in other cases.  Energy medicine should be inspiring and accessible to all. 

It was quite the evening to celebrate. Check out one of our pictures.

To become a part of the Beta 2 program, you can register in the shop. Or, join us as a monthly member, and meet with us for 60 minutes of special activities to connect and foster wellbeing on the third Thursday of each month at 2 pm Atlantic.

Still not sure…here are some words from Ann and Einav…

AME for Greatness Project: A Holistic Healing Collaboration

In today’s overwhelming world, the journey to holistic health and healing is often a solitary one, where individuals seek solutions for chronic conditions without sufficient support. 

As a Holistic Health Practitioner and multi-dimensional healer, I’ve witnessed the profound transformation that occurs when healing is approached through a collective effort. This is why I’m so grateful to be part of the **AME for Greatness Project**, a collaboration that brings together the expertise and passion of three experienced healers, each with a unique specialty.

The AME for Greatness Project is more than just a healing program; it’s a sanctuary where those with chronic health conditions can find solace and realignment. Through our combined guidance, we create a safe space—a container of continuous high-frequency support—that facilitates deep and lasting healing. This collaborative approach harnesses the power of diverse treatments, addressing the physical, emotional, and mental aspects of well-being.

Having worked independently for many years, I’ve always believed that true healing is amplified when supported by various layers of approach. 

The synergy created by our team aligns with this vision, enabling more people to connect with healers who resonate with their needs and frequencies. The profound shifts in alignment and healing experienced by our participants underscore the effectiveness of this integrated approach.

It is a truly unique new approach to healing with a profound result.

And, on a personal note, being part of a team with such complementary strengths enlightens my own path. The power of our collective work not only empowers our clients but also enriches my journey as a healer. Together, we strive to offer transformative experiences that promote wellness and realign life energies, opening pathways to greater health and harmony.

– Ann Smets

The Vision for AME

AME offers a transformative healing approach that seamlessly aligns the mind, body, and soul. It guides individuals toward profound healing experiences, often surpassing what they thought was possible. The program’s impact ripples through their personal lives and extends to family, friends, and the wider community.

My vision for AME is expansive, yet deeply rooted: to see more people embracing this unique healing process, reclaiming their health, and saying yes to a life they once believed was out of reach—physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

AME acts as a catalyst for well-being, integrating various healing modalities from our three dedicated practitioners. It also fosters a strong sense of community, where collective healing flourishes through shared experiences and mutual support.

AME is built to endure, grow, and inspire replication across the globe. Its profound success will soon be recognized as both undeniable and truly enjoyable, offering a healing journey that is insightful, effective, and deeply rewarding.
