About Me.

Hello! I’m the happening that goes by the name Carly Rainé Canant. I was born in Fremont, CA and am mostly of Irish and British descent. I identify as Queer and nonbinary and use they/them and she/her gender pronouns.

As a young person, I loved training in and performing circus arts and physical theater and have two professional certificates in those fields. In parallel, I also really enjoy learning about the experience of being human and have studied psychology for many years; human emotions and personality at the University of California at Berkeley and the intersection of counseling psychology and expressive arts at the California Institute of Integral Studies. After a year of working as a psychotherapist after graduation, I changed gears and chose work as a landscape gardener. Through a series of fortuitous events, I (re)discovered Polarity Therapy in 2020 and began studying with my teacher Brian Jansen. I’m now an advanced student and teacher’s assistant at the Polarity Therapy Institute of San Francisco and growing my private practice.

I live in Berkeley, CA with a wonderful dog who takes me on frequent walks. I enjoy spending time in nature, making and eating delicious food, and playing games and having conversations with my loved ones.

I’m very grateful for the ways Polarity Therapy has helped me heal and grow and for the opportunity to support others with this practice. I look forward to meeting with you and supporting you on your healing-growing journey. 🙏🏻
