Missy’s story - how it all began
In my 20's I was absolutely overcome with anxiety + depression with no tools to find any kind of ease or grounding in my life - nevermind focusing on acting.
I was deeply lost, seeking inspiration + meaning.
I had no idea how to use my energy body as a way of healing while also helping me in my craft.
— Then I found the Chakra System.
The tools in this course are designed
to be a companion in your busy schedule,
to check in with yourself,
use your Chakra system as a tool
to show up authentically + with ease,
This proven system to Embody Character
with stabilizing resources when you need them
are available - at your fingertips, life long.
Incredible for anyone with ADHD or who finds it
difficult to focus or concentrate,
the class structure lets you work in a way
that allows you to come to it in stages.

Some FAQ’s
-
Yes, there is! We use poetry as a through line so you can feel how the different Energy States in each Chakra feels in you, how it changes your psychology and physiology, while also changing the text each time you switch your Chakra expression.
From there, you can use any text you want. For instance, you may see from the Essentials Pages in the workbook that your character completely fits the structure of an Over Active Sacral Chakra. When you work on that character, you would put your Sacral into an Over Active state and speak from there. In the course, there are audios leading you into each of these states that you can use in your character development and prep.
Near the end of the course, I go through how to use what I call "Essence Statements" to lock your character's full Chakra Expression in place within you. It's all very instinctual and intuitive. We use this without knowing it while we act, and so this work is to bring it into your awareness so you can harness its power and truly transform.
-
Absolutely not. You just need an open mind and willingness to play. I’ve created this course for actors and creative curious people. If you don’t want to use this work in acting, think of the acting exercises as a type of artistically therapeutic exercise. Gently opening you to a greater expression and connecting you to your truth and authenticity.
-
Yes! Absolutely. The best thing about hosting this course through Mighty Networks is that I am just a comment or DM away. In each module, there is space for you to share any aha’s or questions and I will help to clarify. Always reach out through there to me if there is something that isn’t quite working for you, or isn’t making sense.
It’s my intention to make sure this information is brought to you in a way that speaks to you, so I will always find a way to make things work for you if you ask.
Included is also quarterly Live Q&A’s where I can answer you questions, or lead you through an exercise. If you can’t make it live, you can write a question to me and I will answer it in the session.
-
Yes! I tell ya, I would have loved to have had this course when I was a teenager - it would have grounded me and saved me a world of issues.
Many younger adults have taken this class and have come to great realizations and deepening understandings about themselves. This course is also available to them forever so you they can keep coming back to it.
Many alumni have take the course multiple times and gone deeper into the work, and used it to support what they are going through in different moments.

Sounds good to you?
The results of this course are clear:
“..exactly what I needed..”
“The Mindful Actor Workshop was exactly what I needed to shift my perspective/energy and move into more breath, confidence and gratitude. I’ve already been using the Chakras in my character work and am finding it such a relatable, fun way to get into my body.”
-Rosie Pidcock (Actor/Producer)
“It allowed me to get out of my head and into the being of the character.”
“When I first took The Mindful Actor’s Workshop, I experienced a melding of my voice, my body and the text in a way I never knew was possible. Following Missy’s instruction and steps, I learned how experience shapes a character’s physicality and perspective. By using these tools, defining a character and tapping into the universality of story became easy for me. It allowed me to get out of my head and into the being of the character.”
-Veenu Sandhu (Lost In Space, Arrow)
You don’t need to be an actor to get something out of this course:
“In every class, I learned something new about myself and my abilities.”
“I took the Mindful Actor Workshop with Missy because I wanted to feel more confident in speaking up and I was curious how the Chakras are related to this.
I’ve never acted before, but it didn’t matter! Missy facilitated an environment that felt supportive and creative, allowing me to safely explore my range in voice and emotions. With absolute kindness and love, Missy knows when to encourage and when to gently push you to explore deeper.
In every class, I learned something new about myself and my abilities. And by the end I discovered that I, too, am an actor! We all can be :)
For anyone who is wishing to deepen their understanding of their bodies, to feel more confident in speaking, to find and listen to your inner voice, to practice trusting your wisdom and intuition - I would highly recommend this class.”
-Andrea F.
“This is an extremely beneficial experience…”
“I’m a very busy Executive of a technology startup in Vancouver. My profession is really mind intensive, constantly thinking and it is very difficult to turn my mind off to stop the “noise” at the end of my work day.
Missy is a wonderful lady that truly is a loving and genuine caring person. It was a very unique and rewarding experience to learn with others about the importance of breathing, meditation, dancing, yoga, stretching and learning how to relax.
Missy’s studio environment is comfortable and she made it a safe space to express our full range of emotions in a non-judgemental way while exploring the bodies Chakras (energy points) and utilizing the techniques taught by Missy. This is an extremely beneficial experience that I would recommend to any busy professional that wants to balance mind and body.”
