Our Counselling & Somatic Therapy Team comprise of Registered Clinical Counsellors (RCC), Registered Social Worker (RSW), and Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC). In an Integrative Somatic Therapy session, we utilize a range of Body-Centered Therapeutic practices alongside Talk Therapy to ensure that your healing journey is gentle and self-paced supporting you to let go of difficult emotions rather than suppress or intellectualizing them thus, developing a heathier way of connecting and relating to self and others with Clarity and Openness, and Heart.

Integrative Somatic Therapy Practice (ISTP) allows you to connect to felt sense; deep intuitive experience of body sensations, emotions, movements, and energy. In our 1.5 hrs. sessions, we start with breathing, sensed into your body's movements to determined areas of tension held in the body.

Trauma leaves an energetic imprints on the body. When we energetically charge the body with breath, we create an opening for deep expressed emotional energy to surface and be released. Using pendulation, titration, and resourcing, Integrative Somatic Breathwork allows you to drop into the depth of pain to access and release stuck emotions that have accumulated in the body over the course of a lifetime.

Breathwork naturally releases emotional and physical pain that honours your capacity to self heal, relief from ailments such as grief, anger, anxiety, addictions, depression, low self-esteem, and/or relationship issues. Our Breathwork sessions will help you to experience a greater sense of peace, clarity in decision-making and feel more connected to your purpose and your spirituality.

Move + Breathe + Feel + Heal

Through the creation of a safe supported space, you are invited to drop into the depth of pain, access and release stuck emotions, gain insight and understanding with a renewed sense of connections to self and those who cares about you.

I believe true healing comes when we work in tandem with both body and mind Insight gain comes when we are willing to connect to painful memories, experiences, and emotions that can’t be ignored once it is felt. FELT WISDOM is what heals.

Using a range of Body-Centered Therapeutic Orientations such as Mindfulness, Yoga, Breathwork, Bodywork, Movement, Sound, and Ceremony your journey through pain is gentle and self paced, allowing you to embrace emotions rather than suppress or intellectualize them.

Integrative Somatic Therapy Practice was developed from research and from an intuitive knowing of the need to integrate Body-Oriented Therapy along side Talk Therapy to fully support the whole person; Body, Mind, & Soul. Integrative Somatic Therapy Practice integrates practices in:

Mindfulness, Breathwork & Movement, Restorative Yoga, Bodywork, Sound, Ceremony, Somatic Processing & Integration designed to enhance the body’s own capacity to heal and reclaim HOPE.

I guide individuals to regain control of the present by overcoming emotional and physical pain through mind-body-emotion self-regulation for long-term healing and wellness.

Integrative Somatic Therapy Practice supports the body’s natural process of releasing self-restricting patterns from body-stored trauma; opening a path for individuals to feel joy, peace, self-compassion and love.
