Integrative Somatic Therapy Practice (ISTP)™
WELCOME
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 allowing you to embrace 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 - 2 hrs. sessions, we start with deep breathing, sense into your body's movements to determined areas of tension held in the body. We use the wisdom of yoga to relax and ground the body, connect to your internal resources for deep emotional and physiological releases.
For the session, please wear socks or nylons and comfortable clothing so that you can stretch and move. We offer organic essential oil for mindfulness practice during the session. As this is optional, please let us know at beginning of the session if you are sensitive or allergic to essential oils.
Integrative Somatic Breathwork
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.
Integrative Thai Yoga & Bodywork
Integrative Yoga & Bodywork tension release session is a self-loving practice; an opportunity to honour and nurture your body. This practice integrates wisdom in Restorative Yoga, Gentle Yoga (yin) , Thai Yoga Massage, Breathwork, and Meditation to release the body from the fight-or-flight response caused by life’s everyday stresses and traumatic events. A yin practice encourages the attitude of acceptance and helps us leave behind our yang need for constant striving action.
Integrating Yoga and Bodywork is a safe and effective practice in help you recover from living with psychological or physical injuries and illnesses. This practice is an appropriate choice for those who need something gentle yet effective for bringing the body into balance and reducing stress. Therapeutic Yoga is a deeply meditative experience - it provides you with an opportunity to step away from the busyness of life and access the deeper wisdom that resides within you.
During the session, I assist you to access and release tensions held in tight muscles and the emotions associated with the tension. Hands-on healing is applied to areas of the body that feel stuck or tight so that energy can flow through various parts of the body that have remained stuck and frozen, sometimes for many years.
Flight, flight and/or freeze responses are released by restorative postures, deep breathing, and slow awareness of body movements. Emotions connected to the mobilized body tension begin to surface. You are supported to express whatever comes and to stay fully connected to these expressions for deep releases.
Mindfulness is used as a practice to support you to develop your own felt-wisdom and resources; integrating all that has happened in the session.

Reiki
Breath is the prana of life. We take our first breath when we are born and the last before we depart.
From birth our Aura (energy field) is as one. With life’s many paths and earthly experiences this aura can break down thus preventing the body, mind and soul from functioning. Stresses of day-to-day life can bring about dis-ease to the body which in turn prevents the normal flow of universal energies. Gaps can occur in the energy field (aura) around your body whereby the body responds to pain, fatigue, and stress.
Balancing the flow of energy within enables the healing process to begin with guidance from source. Flow of universal energies layer by layer help release toxins and restore the body to its natural rhythm. Balance and flow.
As a Reiki practitioner I use the Usui method. This method is using the palms of my hand and scanning the body from head to toe to detect any fluctuations in their aura field. This can be in the form of coolness, heat, energy resistance (energy pushing the hand away), tingling, pulsations etc. This process of scanning enables me to go where the reiki (energy) is needed.
The body, mind, and soul work as one; Allow me to help you have it function at its highest and best!
