Who we are

The IFT training program was created by Leslie Ellis, Jan Winhall, and Serge Prengel.

It is an online continuation and an extension of two long-running in-person training programs: in Toronto (led by Jan Winhall), and in Vancouver (led by Leslie Ellis).

We each bring our specific trainings and experience, and our unique emphasis in addition to Focusing.

Leslie has in-depth expertise in dreamwork and combining Jungian and Focusing approaches.

Jan has created a pioneering approach to working with trauma and addiction that combines felt-sensing and the Polyvagal Theory.

Serge’s work focuses on how relationality manifests in embodied patterns and how to creatively work with them.
