​I have a heart-centered approach, influenced by somatic, mindfulness and art-based modalities. I believe that everyone has the answers they need within them. I aim to support my clients to slow down, tune inwards, and listen to their own innate wisdom.

​

As a Clinical Counsellor, I have an M.A. in Expressive Arts Therapy and Psychology, and additional training in Hakomi Method and focusing-based somatic therapy. I have experience working in front-line, anti-violence agencies supporting women and genderqueer people escaping violence. I draw upon relational therapy, attachment therapy, internal family systems, family constellations and somatic and arts-based psychotherapy.​​

 

As a Bodyworker, I have worked with hundreds of bodies, conditions and states of health. I have a 2,200 hr Massage Therapy Diploma from the Canadian College of Massage and Hydrotherapy. I am knowledgeable in anatomy and physiology, musculoskeletal treatments and massage therapy technique. I specialize in holistic treatments integrating stone massage therapy, biodynamic craniosacral therapy, and ayurvedic abhyanga & shirodhara massage. 

​

I am deeply appreciative of the spiritual teachers which have influenced my path. I have spent time in Buddhist Tibetan monasteries, vipassana centres and with plant medicines and Indigenous knowledge keepers. ​​
