Hello Friends, I’m Celia Cain. I’m a mindset coach, healer, mentor & songcatcher. I’m an intellectual and intuitive, a musician and avid gardener, a Canadian immigrant & native Texan. I’m an ALS widow and mother of 3 boys. I live and work in Mississauga, Ontario, outside of Toronto.
Yes, my PhD is real. It’s from the University of Chicago — in ethnomusicology.
From the time I was 16 years old, I was absolutely sure I knew my path. What I discovered as an adult was I was on the right path, but it did not go where I thought it went.
Instead, I was on a healing journey, away from academia and to coaching & healing.
As a former university professor, I believe in education and training. So when I changed careers, I became a certified life coach and a certified Heart Metta™ and SWEET™ practitioner. I am constantly upgrading my skills in coaching and healing.
Everything I learned along the way, in my training and earlier in my 20+ years of research and fieldwork, informs my work. Now I guide others on their healing journeys.
Join me in Intellect & Intuition to receive the support you need on your journey to health and happiness.
I’m on a mission to change how we think, feel, and talk about intellect and intuition. I want you to learn to trust yourself – your brain, body & intuition – fully and completely.

The simplicity of the work is astonishing.
There has been no need to dig into the past and stir up the old wounds. I feel lighter and free. Getting back to myself has not been an easy path, but it was made so much easier with the tools and techniques I have learned from working with Celia. And best of all, I trust myself again.

Celia helped me work through some significant past trauma issues in literally minutes.
She helped me set the groundwork for some inner peace that's been missing for a very long time.

Celia has shown me a much more powerful, loving, healing version of myself.
Brilliantly intuitive and deeply wise, Celia never fails to find me where I am and offer me a rapid way to grow, a new perspective of myself, and new ways to think. The specific information that Celia has shared with me has been life-changing, and I will be forever grateful!

For everything, thank you Celia.
Admitting that I needed help in making changes wasn’t easy for me, but I wasn’t getting anywhere on my own. Working with Celia, I could feel this dormancy lifting: It was a relief. I now have a freshness and energy that are aligned with my desires. And each session with Celia seems only to build on this. I’ve sloughed off what has been holding me back and am feeling more vital because of it.

Celia has the ability to draw people out and let them examine themselves.
Celia is not only a great listener, but has the ability to see through situations that transcends cultures. I was able to truly understand the concept of acceptance. I spoke without hesitation, without being afraid of judgement. Celia provided the foundation and framework for moving me forward with what I wanted in my life.

Celia is an Empath. She shares so much.
Sometimes, you become convinced that you're the only one who doesn't have it together. It can be emotionally and mentally painful and also rather isolating. Celia is a good listener, with both empathy and practical suggestions. And Heart Metta is wonderful! I’m just thinking of events and the negative energy is gone!

The support she gave me has been invaluable.
If I had to sum up what the experience of coaching with Celia brought me in one word, I’d say “movement”. I have a number of projects & issues that I brought to Celia. With her support I started moving forward with more focus.

Celia opened my world and I made important discoveries…
Celia was a real partner. Her coaching was so successful because of her system of accountability and follow-up.

I have questions…
-
In group coaching, subscribers come with questions to ask during the session or submit questions ahead of time. I coach on those questions.
In a workshop, I teach a specific skill, method, or technique in a focused class.
Both are recorded so you can watch and rewatch it at your convenience.
-
Group coaching creates an intimate community of people who are going through similar healing journeys, even though the specifics vary. It is deeply comforting to work through challenges in the presence of like-minded supportive people who are, like you, creative, intellectual & intuitive.
-
Heart Metta™ is my primary energy healing modality. Heart Metta uses language to retrain neuropathways while the practitioner (me!) sweeps away hidden blocks & buried emotions gently & effectively. There is no need to re-experience or relive trauma. Healing happens at exactly the speed appropriate for your body. Heart Metta™ was developed by my mentor Sandra Sweetman. Click here to find out more.
-
Because Sensitive People or empaths are deeply affected by the energy of the people around them, group work can be challenging. My primary responsibility as a coach and healer is to hold the space of healing and immediately clear any negative energy from the space. I am well trained in this.
You might choose to ease into the group coaching by submitting your question ahead of time and watching the recording. If that feels good to your body, then I encourage you to attend live when time allows. Be gentle with yourself.
Just imagine how you’ll feel…
When you have support & guidance on your healing journey.
When you have a community who understands what you’re experiencing and wants to share it with you.
When you break out of cycles that have confined & confused you for years.
When you learn to receive and not just give, give, give….
When you discover & enhance your intuition and sharpen your intellectual discernment.
When you embrace your power!
Ask Me Anything
Ask me anonymous questions on mindset, healing, intuition, or whatever you desire.

FAQ
-
I’ve been a coach since 2017 and love the work. But I am tired of social media. It used to be exciting and occasionally even joyful. But now Instagram hides my posts, Facebook is stale, Youtube is exhausting, and LinkedIn is stiff. I miss blogs (yes, I know I’m showing my age). I miss online communities. I miss connections from engaged discussion. And then I realized I subscribed to a news blog with a vibrant online community (The Counteroffensive with Tim Mak), on Substack.
I’ve been searching for a community platform to host group coaching and wasn’t satisfied with the ones I researched. I realized that Substack could fill that role as well. So I’ve found that I can do something I love in a place I find nourishing.
-
When I was an academic, I pushed away my intuition, fearing that I wouldn’t be taken seriously as an intellectual. When I became a healer, for several years I avoided referencing my PhD, thinking what I was doing was too out there for my rigorous intellectual training.
But as a musician I know that art and creativity require both intellect and intuition. There is no dichotomy except the false one I created in my head. I’ve found that’s true about most things that we look at as having black & white answers. The interesting responses, and the space that exists for healing, is in the messiness in between.
-
Prices will increase, but not for current subscribers.
Please note, per Substack policies: “Only new paid subscribers will pay the new rate once the price change has taken effect. Existing subscribers will remain on the plan they originally paid for. Subscriptions always renew at the original rate the subscriber pays as long as they don't cancel and resubscribe.”
-
Workshops and Group coaching zoom links will be sent via email and posted on Substack.
-
Prices on Substack will be in your local currency. I’m listing it in USD here, as I do all my prices, because a majority of my clients are American, or comfortable using US dollars for online purchases, so it makes sense for me to price in US dollars.
