A Little More About Zen

My name is Zenia Mihevc, and I am the Founder and Clinical Director of A Little Zen, based in Uxbridge, Ontario serving the Greater Toronto Area. As a Registered Social Worker (RSW), psychotherapist, Kripalu yoga teacher and mindfulness coach, my passion is creating a safe space for my clients on their journey to wellness. My ultimate goal is to support people as they find their own zen and integrate it into their life; particularly through nature therapy, movement and a deepening understanding of self. 

For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to provide holistic alternatives for those seeking support in their wellness journey, and to share my love of the outdoors. Opening an "in and out of the office" practice took root when I began my Social Work education. After graduating with a Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) in 2008 from the University of British Columbia – Okanagan, I became a Registered Social Worker (RSW) and began working in hospital and community settings. At the same time, I completed my Integrative Health and Yoga Teacher Training in the Kripalu Tradition at Trinity Yoga Centre in Kelowna, BC. 

For me, yoga began as a form of self-care during my social work education and early career and quickly grew into the therapeutic practice I now offer in my programs and sessions.  When I began incorporating yogic philosophy and practices into my clinical work, I was amazed by the holistic parallels of connecting mind, body, and breath in achieving overall health, wellness and balance. Yoga continues to serve my mind, body, and soul, and balances the intensity of my chosen profession. As a registered social worker, yoga teacher and mindfulness coach, sharing this gift with others is one of the biggest blessings in my life.

In 2009, I said farewell to the untamed beauty of BC and returned to my Ontario roots where I completed my graduate degree with a Masters of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Toronto in 2012. 

With over 15 years of experience in hospital and community settings, I knew that my true calling and passion was taking my clinical practice out of the office and providing the opportunity for clients to ‘get outside to get inside’. In 2019, I launched A Little Zen, offering clients a holistic alternative approach to clinical social work practice. 

In addition to my degrees in Social Work and Yoga certifications, I am also a certified Reiki Practitioner Level I & II; Certified Children’s Fitness Instructor; Advanced Yoga Nidra facilitator.

I look forward to providing you with guidance and support through the journey of life.  

Naturally yours,
