Balance and Healing in Siem Reap: A Journey Through Body-Based Stress and Trauma Release Therapy
In the popular tourist destination heart of Siem Reap, a transformative practice is taking shape—one that connects the body, mind, and spirit. Meet Candice Clara La Roux, a body-based stress, tension, and trauma release therapist, whose unique approach to yoga and somatic healing is guiding individuals toward balance, resilience, and self-discovery. Naturally (ahem, pun intended), we had to sit down and with her about her work.
A Path to Healing
From the moment Candice began her journey as a yoga facilitator in 2014, hermission was clear: to create safe spaces where people could reconnect with their inner strength. Her work started with women recovering from human trafficking, integrating yoga and mindful movement to help them find peace within their bodies.
“I realized yoga was my anchor during a challenging time in my life, helping me cope with grief and PTSD,” Candice shares. “That experience shaped my passion for sharing these tools with others, helping them unlock their personal power and begin their healing journey.”
Today, she brings this deeply personal and therapeutic approach to her practice in Siem Reap, blending yoga, somatic experiencing, breathwork, and intuitive techniques to address tension and emotional distress.
What Makes the Practice Unique
Unlike fitness-focused yoga sessions, Candice’s classes delve into the body’s intelligence, fostering a sense of safety and peace as the foundation for healing. Each session is an exploration, tailored to the individual’s needs, and often leaves participants with a profound sense of release and transformation.
“I work intuitively, drawing from my background in psychology, yoga training, reiki, and trauma release exercises,” she explains. “The goal is to access the body’s innate ability to heal, creating space for creativity, connection, and well-being.”
A Community of Seekers and Healers
Siem Reap, with its rich cultural tapestry and nurturing community, has become the perfect home for Candice’s work. “This town has a magnetic pull toward deep healing,” she reflects. “It’s filled with open-hearted individuals and beautiful spaces dedicated to growth and transformation.”
Her classes at The Reservoir Hotel offer an intimate, serene environment, while her sessions at The Blue Monkey Climbing Barn cater to a wider audience. She’s also passionate about one-on-one therapeutic sessions, where she can focus deeply on an individual’s unique journey.
For those seeking gentler practices, Candice offers chair yoga, ideal for elderly participants, incorporating techniques to promote neural plasticity, balance, and mobility.
The Power of Healing Through Movement
In a world filled with uncertainty, the need for spaces that nurture healing and resilience is more important than ever. Candice’s sessions are designed for individuals seeking relief from tension and discomfort, offering an alternative path to fitness-centered yoga.
“Through movement and mindfulness, we can release what no longer serves us, making room for compassion, creativity, and connection,” she says.
