I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with BCACC in private practice. I bring over 16 years of extensive experience in the mental health and personal growth fields. I practice from a trauma-informed lens to provide a warm and welcoming space. I work with adults, groups and facilitate workshops for individuals dealing with trauma, anxiety, low-mood or depression, relationship challenges, grief and loss. I also provide therapy for pain and stress management particularly after an accident or trauma or due to being a first responder. I offer mentoring and intuitive life coaching. I provide counselling in English and Spanish. I use a holistic and integrative approach to counselling that includes mindfulness, breath work, resiliency enhancement and other evidence-based modalities. I have specialized training in Trauma Therapy and Integrative Somatic Therapy (ISTP)™ I facilitate your understanding of the connection between your mind-body-and-emotions in order to help you heal. My role as a therapist is to empower you to take back your life and live it as fully as you can. One of my strongest beliefs is that we all do the best we know how to, moment by moment… because if we knew a better way, that’s what we would have done!

I see myself as someone who holds space with empathy and mindfulness, creating a safe and supportive environment where individuals can reconnect with themselves, to know they are not alone. Together, my clients and I navigate their healing journey—on their timeline and in the direction they choose. My role is to walk beside them, offering guidance, options, and suggestions that honor the body’s wisdom. I remain attuned to how the body responds, allowing the body to lead the way toward the most appropriate directions. As a practitioner, I am here to support the flow of each person’s unique path.

My practice is organic and evolves based on each individual and each session. While there are consistent elements aimed at helping clients build a greater capacity to connect with their bodies, our work is always guided by your own unique needs and rhythms. Rooted entirely in Integrative Somatic Therapy Practice (ISTP™), my approach incorporates a range of supportive modalities including mindfulness, breathwork, gentle touch, ceremony, music, resilience enhancement, movement, integrative processing, integrative restorative yoga, and integrative Thai yoga massage. I support individuals to connect with themselves and support individuals to slow down, heal, and move forward — even when said movement invites them into discomfort. Healing is not linear, and I am here to walk alongside you through the natural flow of your process.

Because my practice is solely grounded in ISTP™, when a client’s needs shift more towards cognitive or verbal processing, I remain available to support — and recognizing my scope of practice, when appropriate, I will refer to other professionals. This is why I’ve chosen to work within a community of practitioners, including Registered Clinical Counsellors (RCCs), to allow for seamless referrals when talk therapy or deeper psychological support is needed. This does not mean I step away or hand you off — instead, we collaborate to surround you with a supportive cocoon of care, ensuring your journey remains grounded, held, and integrated.

I hold a Bachelor of Human Kinetics with a major in Exercise Science and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. In addition to my academic background, I have completed 200 hours of yoga teacher training through VNYSA School of Yoga, as well as an additional 200 hours of training in Integrative Restorative Yoga and 200 hours in Integrative Thai Yoga Massage, both through the Mandorla Yoga Institute. While I maintain my nursing license and continue to practice as a nurse, it’s important to make clear I do not draw upon my nursing knowledge, skills, or judgment when providing ISTP™ care.

Currently, I am a somatic practitioner trained in ISTP™ (T-ISTP™) having completed Levels 1 and 2 through the Integrative Somatic Studies Institute. I have continued my studies to complete Level 3 which will lead to me becoming a somatic practitioner certified in ISTP (C-ISTP™) at the end of my course requirements.

My journey into ISTP™ began with my own healing and a desire for change — a shift toward greater joy, balance, and meaning in both my personal and professional life. I was looking for my own healing and it began my own journey into what it is today, a new way to support others in their own journey of healing — whether clearly defined or still growing and evolving. Initially, I saw the training as an opportunity for personal learning and growth. However, during my Level 2 clinical practicum, I discovered a deep fulfillment in applying the principles of ISTP™ in practice and inspired me to take the leap and begin this new chapter in my life and career.

I believe in the transformative potential of ISTP™ and feel honored to be able to share this work with others — supporting each person on their journey, wherever they may be and however they may arrive.

Trauma can become present in the body in a variety of ways; witnessing a violent or horrific event(s), car accidents, surgeries, serious sports injury(ies), being a soldier or civilian in war, being a first responder, being trafficked, as well as survivors of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. Integrative Somatic Therapy Practice (ISTP)™ addresses trauma that shows up in the body, causing ailments that appear to have no medical rationale.

(ISTP)™ will holistically guide you through your healing process to recover your “inner compass.” You become empowered by learning techniques such as relaxation using the wisdom of yoga, mindfulness, breathwork, bodywork, and Somatic body-oriented processing. Once the trauma is released into consciousness, you are guided to process and integrate using talk therapy to resolve the trauma.

We work together in an attuned away to release trauma and suffering. Through this method, you restore your inner compass (wisdom) to become conscious, mindful and ultimately - heal. All of this is done in a safe and welcoming environment where you will feel seen and heard.

This will be the most loving gift you will ever give to yourself. Relief is only a session away.

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.

Integrative Somatic Therapy Practice allows you to felt wisdom; a deep intuitive experience of body sensations, emotions, movements, breath, and energy. 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.

I am the founder of Body Mind Soul Healing Centre & Creator of Integrative Somatic Therapy Practice (ISTP). I bring over 25 years of experience and insight in healing of trauma into my clinical practice, training, and mentorship.  Along with my education in Master of Counselling Psychology, my training background also includes Therapeutic Yoga, Breathwork, Bodywork, Expressive Arts, Hakomi & Satire Transformational Systemic Therapy.

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.
