Dr. Shahrzad Jalali is a clinical psychologist, executive coach, author, and founder of Dr. Jalali & Associates, a trauma-informed psychotherapy practice, and Align Remedy, a platform for integrative healing, coaching, and education. With over a decade of clinical experience, she blends depth psychology, nervous system science, and soulful insight to help individuals access lasting emotional and psychological transformation. Her work is rooted in the understanding that both the body and psyche hold deep wisdom—and that healing begins when we learn to listen. Rather than pathologizing symptoms like anxiety, overwhelm, shutdown, or chronic dysregulation, she teaches clients to approach these experiences as signals from an intelligent system. By decoding internal patterns—such as stress responses, attachment styles, and emotional defenses—Dr. Jalali helps clients understand what their symptoms are trying to communicate. From this place of curiosity and compassion, they learn to regulate from within, re-author their inner narrative, and return to a life that feels aligned and whole. She is the author of The Fire That Makes Us, a book about turning trauma into strength and reclaiming your story with clarity and courage. Her signature course, Regulate to Rise, offers a somatic and psychological framework for healing emotional dysregulation, building nervous system resilience, and fostering grounded self-leadership. Dr. Jalali works with high-performing yet emotionally exhausted individuals who are ready to shift from survival to inner stability and expansion. As a speaker and educator, she teaches on trauma-informed leadership, identity, boundaries, and the wisdom of the body. Her mission is to help people read their systems, relearn their rhythm, and rise—more integrated, more resilient, and more rooted in who they truly are.

Katherine Vilnrotter, of The Love Cure, is a mental and emotional wellness practitioner, entrepreneur, and author. After surviving a life shattering sexual assault while serving in the Peace Corps, Katherine spent the next 11 years healing her brain, body and energy system. When the mental health system in the US was convinced that she would always have PTSD, she wasn’t. Suffering through almost 5 years of full-blown PTSD, searching for answers and learning about what she was experiencing, she finally found the Human Givens approach. After 1 Human Givens rewind session, she could feel something shift in her brain and over the following months, she witnessed her world expand in ways she never thought possible. Now a Human Givens practitioner herself (and fully PTSD free and thriving), Katherine continues to further her healing in new and deeper ways, exploring and discovering new healing tools. Katherine is passionate about sharing the healing tools that helped her heal herself and guide her clients through their own healing journey. Her two main practices are the Human Givens approach and energy harmonizing (a modality she developed using energetic and vibrational tools such as BioGeometry, sound, meditation and brain/body connection). Through Katherine’s continued education and self-healing, she is uniquely equipped to meet clients where they are, and guide them through their own healing.

She is based on the west coast of Canada in beautiful British Columbia on the traditional indigenous territory of the Coast Salish peoples. In her work, she provides diversity, equity, inclusion, and anti-racism training to organizations based on creative critical thinking, conversation skills building, and emotional intelligence that is grounded in history, human rights, and anthropology. She earned a BA in Sociology and Cultural Anthropology in 1998 from Carleton University, a certificate in DEI from Cornell University, international human resources certification in Diversity Inclusion Service Management (DISM ISO 30415:2021), and coaching certificates from Certified Coaches Federation and Values Inspired Coaching. Kathleen has also earned a paralegal diploma from Canadian Business College, and Makeup Art diploma from CMU College of Makeup Art and Design in Toronto. A former long-time resident of Toronto, born and raised in Calgary, Kathleen now resides in Vancouver, British Columbia. In 2021 she ran for federal office in her hometown, but moved to Victoria, British Columbia in 2022, to take on the role of Ministerial Advisor in the Ministry of Education and Child Care in the BC Legislature. That same year she transitioned to Provincial Health Services Authority (PHSA), where she is a Senior Advisor of DEI. Within her capacity at the health authority she is an education lead, creating and facilitating courses, and advises on a broad range of work throughout the organization of almost 30,000 staff, and leads on accessibility work, liaising with partners in government to have a positive impact on the care of a diverse patient population. She has spoken to groups of all sizes across the country about women’s empowerment, politics, humanism, mental health, disability, building community, compassionate leadership, and other issues as addressed in her articles and books. In addition, Kathleen has spoken at some of Canada’s top post-secondary institutions such as Emily Carr University of Art and Design, and University of British Columbia. Companies such as Bank of America, national non-profits, federal, and provincial institutions have sought her ability to broach difficult topics with calm, compassion, wit, and directness while advising on change management and authentic engagement for long-term growth, resiliency, and stability. In 2024, she started as a course creator and sessional instructor for Simon Fraser University’s Equity in Healthcare Certificate program, a first-of-its-kind in Canada, and earned the distinction of being one of 4 Black women from BC to be recognized as one of Canada’s Top 100 Black Women to Watch in 2025 As an executive coach Kathleen has worked with leaders at PHSA, and in other major health authorities in Ontario.

Most recently she signed on to be a coach for the Region of Waterloo and accepted a position as BC member of the African Caribbean and Black (ACB) advisory board of Canadian Blood Services. In addition, she coaches creative professionals on mindset and their creative process. Creativity is an essential way Kathleen approaches everything she does. A background as a makeup artist working in film, television, fashion, and weddings, she has served as key artist for Toronto Men’s Fashion Week and African Fashion week, worked on TV shows such as Beauty and the Beast, Suits, Umbrella Academy, major feature films such as the first Suicide Squad, on celebrities such as Ben Affleck, and had her wedding work shown in major Canadian news publications like the Calgary Herald. Kathleen is also an amateur comedian, sharing the stage with some of Canada’s top talent, led a hip hop/funk fusion band in her youth, and recited original poetry in some of her hometown’s most prestigious venues like the Glenbow Museum. In her work with teams, she uses techniques such as improv to help people process what they are learning and break down barriers. As host of The Kreactivators Podcast, she talks to professionals from the arts, business world, and academia while offering her own insights on how creativity factors into solving human issues. Love for her family is what motivates Kathleen the most having raised 5 children with disabilities, including autism, ADHD, and schizophrenia, while self-identifying as neurodivergent. 3 of her children are also in the LGBTQIA+ community. She pays homage to her parents from Grenada, W.I. in the Caribbean in everything she does.

I am an Aboriginal man of the Anaiwan nation of Australia. I took up martial arts from the age of 9, which quickly became a passion. Being in Regional Australia, it was difficult to continue martial training with instructors long term. I started weght training from 12 years of age at my local high school, and was able to integrate martial and weight training with Goji Kai from the age of 16. Since then, I moved several times, experienced other systems, and trained under several high-ranking martial artists both locally and internationally. I have also comperted in tournament at the Australian and Australasian levels. I have spent years working on my body and mind, and in 2024 earned my Black Belt in the Ken Sei Shoto Ryu style, based in Port Macquarie NSW. I have learned much with academic recognition, yet remain a perpetual student through dedicated self-directed learning. My focus is on applying academic principles through martial training, in ways that students can easily understand and apply for themselves...and make it fun along the way!
