Robin Lacambra shares her experiences of unease in Western wellness spaces, the power in affinity movement spaces and guidance on how to be a better leader within them. She blends psychotherapy and somatic movement in her practices in spaces such as GOODBODYFEEL and SACHA in Hamilton, Ontario.
Robin Lacambra (she/they) is a queer Filipinx creative, speaker, and facilitator. Drawing from somatic relational psychotherapy, mindful movement, and conflict mediation, Robin’s work aims to demonstrate how interconnected we are, highlighting our shared responsibility to co-create a just and liberated world.
Alongside their roles as the creator of GOODBODYFEEL Movement & Therapy, the director of the Safer Spaces Project, and a counsellor at SACHA (Sexual Assault Center of Hamilton Area), Robin works with individuals, groups, and organizations to foster self-awareness, resilience, and healthier relationships.
They also navigate the challenges of living with chronic pain and persistently feeling “not enough.” Robin’s personal journey empowers her to facilitate spaces where tender areas can transform into sources of strength. Their approach celebrates vulnerability and encourages others to challenge their beliefs and boundaries, fostering a deep sense of belonging that begins within and radiates outward.
In addition to her professional endeavors, Robin is a mother and embraces their playful-sh*t-disturber persona. Robin also loves ube tiramisu.
