My Unique Approach

I believe we are more then our stories and that change and growth is always a possibility. My client centered, holistic approach to therapy allows for a deeper exploration of how our past experiences may be influencing our current day reality. By understanding where our thoughts, beliefs, behaviors and defenses originate we can then make the choice to continue or change.

Talk Therapy

Having a safe space to share your story can be very helpful all on it’s own. Often people have never shared certain aspects of themselves or have never been able to say certain things out loud. Opening up can lessen the hold the experience has over you, freeing you to move lighter in the world.

Intuitive Energy Healing

We have 7 layers of energy that make up our field with the physical body being the densest and therefore most visible to the eye. If we are only ever dealing with physical aspects we are only treating 1/7th of the issue. Incorporating energy work into your care plan takes your healing to greater depths and lasting transformation. Our bodies have an amazing ability to store memories and experiences within our cells. Often people fall back into unhealthy patterns because the energy has not been released from our cellular memory and we simply recreate what we know. This theory applies to trauma, physical injury, chronic pain and family imprints to name a few. Through use of appropriate touch we release the energetic blocks allowing our body to find it’s natural balance and activate healing systems of our own wise bodies.

Chakra Balancing

We have 7 major energy centers in our bodies, (Chakras). These energy centers are responsible for the flow and balance of every body system. They hold information that expresses itself throughout our bodies and play a huge role in how we experience life. People with chronic chakra imbalances can experience chronic fatigue, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, low energy, poor sleep and eating habits, low tolerance for stress and feeling overwhelmed and disconnected (aka anxiety and depression). When our Chakras are activated, open and in balance our bodies experience homeostasis, allowing us to function optimally mind, body and spirit.

Meditation and Mindfulness ​

The antidote to stress and anxiety is to be calm and relaxed. Easier said than done! Stress triggers an automatic fear response ( fight, flight or freeze) in our bodies left over from times where we needed to be alert of the danger the saber tooth tiger threatened. In today’s society we don’t have those same survival issues as our ancestors did, however we do have bombardment of the senses through busy lives, blue screens, over scheduling, and keeping up with joneses. Our bodies don’t differentiate between a saber tooth tiger or a 14 hr work day. Stress is stress, and chronic stress keeps this fear response triggered at all times causing all sorts of mental and physical issues. By teaching our body what “calm” feels like we are able to turn of this auto response and allow it trigger appropriately when we actually need it. Having the ability to respond to life instead of react to life is game changing.

​Body Psychotherapy

In keeping with the concept that our bodies have cellular memory, body psychotherapy provides an opportunity to allow your body to speak it’s wisdom. You are led into a relaxed, meditative state and through appropriate touch and creative visualization the body shares what it needs to heal, often symbolically and together we facilitate deep and transformative healing.

Past Life Regression

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it simply transforms. As we are energetic beings it stands to reason that the energy pattern that makes us who we are simply keeps manifesting into a new physical body when we transition. Based on this belief, past life regression allows us to mentally “travel” to the time and place where healing is needed. This is a very effective approach in treating fears, and phobias. It can clear karmic contracts we have with others, relieve chronic or unexplained physical pain, and heal “old” trauma. It also allows us to see into lifetimes when we were living our purpose, bringing those gifts forward into this lifetime for a more meaningful experience of present day life. It is also very beneficial in “gathering our lost pieces”.  Through repeated lifetimes our soul energy can become fragmented. As we travel, we bring forward healthy attributes and integrate them into present day. This can create a feeling of wholeness.

​Experiential Therapy

Our thoughts influence our experience and we often get caught in the loop of our thoughts and our wheels just keep spinning the same information ( usually unproductive and unhealthy) over and over again. With experiential therapy we take our inner experience (subconscious) and bring it outside of ourselves to work with it ( conscious). This may be through art, role playing, mirror work, writing and emotional release. This allows for clarity, objectivity, and insight which is necessary to create change in thoughts, which leads to change in behaviour.

​Workshops & Spirit Circles

There is something very powerful when we gather and connect in meaningful ways. At different times throughout the year I offer a variety of experiences to enrichen your personal and spiritual development with like minded seekers. Be sure to stay in touch to see what is being offered, or if you have an interest in bringing a group together and creating your own gathering be sure to ask. This could include vision boards, conscious co creation (law of attraction), group meditation, support groups, healing circles....

​Staff Mediation and Professional Development

More and more businesses are realizing the benefits of having healthy and happy employees. If you are interested in staff development, team building and creating a positive work environment consider working with me to create a custom plan to suit the needs of your work space. Many employers are now offering their staff a limited number of one on one sessions to help them achieve work/life balance.
