Mental Health
People are struggling with fear and uncertainty about their own health and their loved ones’ health, concerns about employment and finances, and the social isolation that comes from public health measures such as quarantining and physical distancing."

Gender Analysis
Care work and other women-majority occupations and industries are essential to containing the pandemic, reducing its impacts, and ensuring that essential services continue to function. These include direct care services such as childcare, long-term care, and gender-based violence services, as well as cashiering and cleaning jobs. This is a global phenomenon: in 104 countries, women are at the frontline of pandemic care, comprising 70% of health and social care workers and earning 11% less than men.

Intersectional Gender Analysis
Only 21% of women workers in Canada are racialized women, yet they make up roughly 30% of home support workers, housekeepers, kitchen workers, and light-duty cleaners.10 This is also true for Indigenous women who make up 4% of women workers and are over-represented in several low-wage services occupations.

Meet Gytana Theobrun - Founder & CEO of Temple KÀ, shining her light as far as the eye can see. --- Gytana always knew she was gifted. Gifted to see and sense things that others didn’t. Gifted in a way that made her journey to becoming, very difficult.
But in 2018, after years of training, and in spite of all the reasons why she shouldn’t do it, she did it. She decided to embrace her destiny and open Temple KÀ. A place where she could share her gifts with others - her gifts as a medium and as an energy healer. And a place, that would be the first holistic spa in Montreal to specialize in yoni steaming.
As a certified life coach, womb priestess, reiki master & crystal therapist, she easily made her mark, but after almost 2 years she had a vision of a bigger and more expansive version of Temple KÀ. And she knew that she needed partners to manifest this grander version of the KÀ.
