> 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.

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.

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!

Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Bim I was born in England and came to Canada over 40 years ago. I am the middle child of seven and blessed to have a big family. I consider myself an old soul with abundance of energy. I love spending time outdoors; nature is a healing remedy. Love many activities skiing, golfing, kayaking yoga/fitness just to name a few.

I did my primary education in England and then went on to do two years in high school before I came to Canada. Upon arrival I completed my high schooling in Vancouver. I have a background in the food, travel hospitality industry. Later in life went into the educational field. I attended Kwantlen University college in Richmond, BC. I took the SETA (special education teacher assistant) program and upon completion was hired by the Richmond school district. Part way in life I had decided to move to Ottawa to seek other opportunities and was hired by the Ottawa Carlton school board. I got a short placement at a high school (considered high beacon school due to high behavioural needs). I enjoyed this very much, however chances of getting permanent were slim at the time. I thus decided to attend Algonquin college in Ottawa and studied a program in Interactive Multi-media. Since I had not closed my doors in BC and came back and got hired by the Richmond board and have been with the district for 20 years. I presently work in a high school and specialize in working with students who have complex behavioural issues. I have recently retired from London Drugs Ltd as a service specialist, a company I worked for over 20 years. I recently became a certified yoga fitness instructor. I teach at two studios and love the vibe and energy the members bring. Healthy body healthy mind!

There is abundance of knowledge and learning still to be had. We should never stop learning. Helping others to find their true potential inside and out is greatly important to me.

Life happens…. its how we deal with it that makes us stronger.
