About LightWater Sanctuary

A sanctuary for embodied healing, movement, and connection in Lyndhurst, Ontario

Who it's for: Anyone seeking a welcoming, holistic alternative to conventional health practices, curious to explore healing beyond the mind through holistic practices.  


LightWater Sanctuary is a spiritual sanctuary of quiet power — where sacred and modern somatic practices come together.


Set within a 125+ year-old church, the sanctuary holds a sense of reverence and renewal: the stillness, the light, the eternal cycles of life.  


Here, healing is not something that happens to you — it’s something that unfolds within you.  


Through conscious touch, guided movement, and nervous-system balancing, the modalities invite your body to remember what it already knows: how to restore balance, how to move freely, how to come home to yourself.

Susan Howard

“Your body already knows how to heal. My work is helping you listen.”

Sue Howard has woven her life’s path with a passion for movement, awareness, and integrative healing. Professionally trained in classical ballet from a young age, she developed the discipline of deep listening to the body and its creative potential. Certified in both the Ilan Lev Method and Gyrotonic, Sue brings decades of embodied understanding through this work. She is also a Registered Massage Therapist, grounding her practice in anatomical knowledge while moving far beyond the clinical biomechanical model. Her approach is intuitive yet precise — weaving study, art, and presence into every session

The Pathways

“You're gently guided to experience openings unfold — to smile and let go”


Ilan Lev Method (ILM)


Step into a gentle, playful meeting with movement and touch — where your body is invited to feel safe, unwind old patterns, and rediscover its natural flow.


Fully clothed on a comfortable treatment table, you’re guided through subtle motions and listening touch that awaken deep awareness, sound, and spontaneous ease. 


Each session invites you to rediscover its natural intelligence — releasing pain, restoring balance, and awakening a renewed sense of vitality.

Rather than being “worked on,” we work together. 


Ideal for: chronic tension, pain, limited mobility, emotional holding, or the simple wish to experience your body’s healing intelligence.


Experience: expansion • coherence • curiosity • renewal

GYROTONIC® Expansion System


Experience movement as self experiencing an inner massage. Using specialized equipment and hands-on guidance, Gyrotonic invites nature experienced in one's body again through spirals, spaces and wave-like motion that stretch and strengthen the spine, opens the joints, and enlivens every cell.


Through breath, rhythm, and resistance, you’ll awaken power from within — not by being fixed, but by moving into your own vitality. 


Each session builds a sense of expansion that reaches beyond the body, touching the clarity of mind and spirit.


Ideal for: improving posture, coordination, balance, and vitality; supporting rehabilitation or enhancing performance.


Experience: flow • expansion • strength • grace • embodied vitality

What to Expect

The rhythm of an Embodied Session:

Each session begins with presence and conversation. Through conscious touch and guided movement, you’ll be invited to reconnect with your body’s natural intelligence. The process is gentle but profound — clients often describe feeling lighter, clearer, and more grounded to themselves and the world around them.

Healing happens when the body feels safe enough to listen.
