Bring wellness into your everyday life through interactive, heart-centred workshops that explore fitness, nutrition, self-care, and community. Topics vary with the seasons and include stress relief, mindful movement, and holistic well-being, combined with hands-on experiences like meditation, breathwork, or DIY wellness creations.
These sessions are also available as custom private workshops — perfect for bachelorette gatherings, small corporate wellness days, or friend-group experiences that blend fun, connection, and self-care in a refreshing, memorable way.
Candace also offers specialty educational series such as:
- Bone Health: What You Need to Know + Exercises That Support It
