My Approach
Centering you, your voice and your experience
I believe in your right to dignity and empowerment. I work with you, centering your knowledge and experience. My counselling practice comes from a trauma-informed stance highly informed by Somatic Experiencing, feminist consciousness-raising as well as hypnotherapy. I also draw on integrative approaches such as art, ceremony, and the use of visualization depending on your needs. Click here to learn more.
Welcome to my office!
This is a LGBTQIA+ celebrating, breastfeeding friendly space. A tea bar welcomes you in our spacious waiting room (first picture), and I will greet you in my warm somatic friendly office filled with supportive tools such as soft pillows, weighted pillows, a yoga ball, heatpad and more. My goal is to create a place where you nervous system can relax and release so you can benefit the most from our sessions.
Speaking Engagement on Birth Trauma
I bow as I remember the pain, suffering, and trauma my people inflict on BIPOC. I graciously thank keepers of the land on which I work, heal, love and play, the Anishinaabe nation. I proudly and humbly apologize for the tragedies my ancestors inflicted on the indigenous peoples of Kanata and BIPOC. It was and is not okay. I am committed to being part of the change. Here is how.
