Carrie 'Zaza' Branovan

Carrie 'Zaza' Branovan is a compassionate teacher and facilitator, known as a "Soul Seer." She lovingly guides her students and clients—whom she sees as luminaries—on journeys to connect with the truest and brightest expression of themselves. Through her gentle support, she empowers them to trust their soul's compass and move confidently in the direction of their dreams.

In 2017, while on a business trip to Ireland, Carrie serendipitously discovered Movement Medicine. She was instantly captivated by its fusion of ancient shamanism, modern neuroscience, and traditional indigenous wisdom. This encounter inspired her to train as an apprentice and, ultimately, achieve professional licensing under the mentorship of its founders, Ya'Acov and Susannah Darling Khan. Her goal is to integrate this powerful practice into both her personal and professional life.

Carrie offers a range of transformative experiences through her company "The Illuminated Soul", including classes, workshops, retreats, and personalized one-to-one coaching. Whether in person or online, she creates a warm and welcoming space where individuals can explore and embrace the beauty of life’s unfolding dance.

With a wealth of experience as a Consultant, Marketing Director, Brand Strategist, and CEO of well-known conscious businesses in organic food, green building, and personal development, Carrie brings deep wisdom and insight to her offerings. Earlier in her career, she was also celebrated as an internationally acclaimed photographer and producer.

Carrie’s nurturing presence creates a safe and supportive space where luminaries can connect with their deepest calling and bring their dreams to life.

Upcoming Events

Carrie's IN-VISIBLE Workshop was a transformative journey that has reshaped my perception of myself as a woman. Her unique process, which combines movement, open sharing, the creation of a safe space and the capture of my essence through her lens, has unearthed a profound potency within me that I never knew existed. Her ability to encapsulate, preserve, and bring to VISIBLE light my self-respect, beauty, strength, tenderness, grace, and exuberance in her photographs has given me a new perspective on myself. - Ana Mael, Somatic Practitioner PTSD and Trauma Recovery
I don't know how to put into words the emotions that I felt during Carrie's IN-VISIBLE workshop. Carrie created a warm space that made me feel so comfortable and allowed us all to really open up through words and movement. Carrie brought so much compassion and thought to the photography session at the end. Her photos are so stunning, I truly felt seen. - Rachel S. - Toronto
I am SO glad I pushed myself quite far out of my comfort zone to attend the IN-VISIBLE workshop. I’ve always been very shy at the idea of dancing “in front of” people and also generally resistant to have my photograph taken in any setting, as I have always felt myself to be un-photogenic.  So doing both of these things at once, ‘being seen’ in these two ways, was actually a huuuuuge challenge for me! Carrie's warm grounded presence put me fully at ease in the experience right away. - Jen P- Toronto
