A Lifelong Quest for Deeper Understanding and Connection
From the bustling corridors of entrepreneurship, where I navigated industries and shaped ventures, I stumbled into a realm of introspection and self-discovery. Beneath the external markers of success, a growing restlessness loomed. In 2008, this restlessness intensified into a profound existential crisis, culminating in moments of deep vulnerability and thoughts of ending it all.
In my pursuit of healing, a transformative retreat in Sedona beckoned. Here, I was introduced to an amalgamation of healing practices, ranging from powerful breathwork, energy work, family constellation therapy, and various other teachings from spiritual mentors. Each session, each mentor, acted as a beacon, guiding me out of my shadows and into the light.
My years thereafter became a passionate odyssey, spanning over 15 years, studying and immersing myself in a spectrum of modalities — from yoga and somatics to energy work, trauma-informed therapies, conscious business guidance and really anything I could get my hands on. This journey wasn't merely academic; it was a personal quest to understand the intricate tapestry of the human spirit and our connections to the universe.
WUB Wellness and the WUB Society of Canada emerged from this very passion. They reflect not just business models, but my heart's deepest desire: to help others find their light, path and purpose just as I found mine. To assist in bridging the gap between where we are and where our soul yearns to be.
With over two decades in leadership, consulting, events, and a track record that spans multiple industries, my credentials mirror not just professional expertise but an authentic commitment to fostering holistic well-being. Today, I stand not as an expert, but as a fellow traveler, equally in awe of life's mysteries, inviting you to embark on this transformative journey with WUB.
Jennilee Barazzuol
I’m a dynamic, compassionate, intuitive being who loves to immerse myself in safe, healing spaces with others who are also walking this path. I also love to dive deep into shadow work and illuminate what is calling me to be seen, felt, and known. Being able to explore the jungles within as well as the skies has created a foundation that allows me to witness others in many forms.
My personal work is a co-created collaboration of experiences, teachings and trainings from friends, family, and teachers from all around the world. I am held and supported by my community that heals and alivens my human spirit. My offerings are an extension of this work and an honoring of all those who have walked alongside me. I am committed to this work and honor all warriors embarking on this path.
My current passions include boundary setting, re-wilding, and voice reclamation.

Amber Courtney
From a very young age Amber knew that she was different. Having experiences with spirits was a normal occurrence for her, but it wasn't until later in her 20's that she actually began to understand what this all meant.
Amber is a multidimensional quantum healing facilitator and new earth ascension wayshower. With a passion for leading and guiding individuals through their healing, her goal is always to create a safe and comfortable environment for her clients to eliminate or peel back the layers to the root cause of a problem one may be experiencing.
Through attuning herself to her starseed origins and embodying the role of a lightworker she also expands her work into spiritual development, ascension training and planetary gridwork to elevate those individuals that are ready to expand and accelerate their consciousness and skills in big ways.
She loves to create an energy charged environment for learning, healing and expansion!
Trevor Yelich
From early days of questioning the conventional, Trevor began a fervent exploration into the nature of reality as a teenager. Over the subsequent 26 years, he has immersed himself in an array of body-mind practices and healing arts, delving deep into life's mysteries during his transformative "dark night of the soul" and a 16-month hermitage.
While initially trained as an engineer, Trevor's path soon diverged, leading him to profound domains of therapeutic work. With over a decade and a half teaching Yoga, co-developing yoga teacher trainings, and initiating Breathwork Facilitator trainings, his contributions to holistic wellness have been recognized and revered in Canada and beyond.
Central to Trevor's approach is an intricate understanding of interconnected mechanisms of mind and body, drawn from studies like Acupuncture, Somatic Experiencing®, Bodynamics Somatic Psychotherapy, and Conscious Connected Breathwork, to name a few.
But above qualifications and trainings, what truly defines Trevor is his commitment to the human community, our shared experiences, inherent curiosities, and the boundless potential that lies within our collective consciousness.
Jay Robinson
Jay is not just a musician; he's a maestro of life's deeper resonances. As an artist, mystic, plant ally, and seeker, Jay channels the vast traditions and intimate heartbeats of the universe into his craft. His musical expressions emerge from a profound ceremonial space, interweaving live percussions, flutes, and singing steel into an immersive tapestry of sound that connects, awakens, and heals.
But the symphony of Jay's offerings doesn't stop at music. He delves into the aromatic realm, introducing people to the transformative magic of scents. Just as music stirs the soul, aromas can unlock hidden realms within, offering both insight and deep elemental pleasure. At WUB U, Jay seamlessly melds these elements, creating experiences that nourish the spirit and remind us of our interconnected dance with the universe.
