Somatic Therapy and Counselling

Welcome to the next step in your journey toward self-connection and healing

 

I offer a compassionate, attuned, body based and integrative counselling approach.

 

My practice is centered in Somatic Therapy, and I draw from my diverse background in Pre and Perinatal Attachment Therapy, Energy Work, Inquiry Work, Shamanism, and Herbalism when working with clients. ​

 

About Somatic Therapy

​​

Relational Somatic Therapy (RST) is a form of counselling that recognizes the Soma (body) as an integral part of healing, including trauma. It is an integrative approach that includes mind, body, and spirit. 

​

We use the term Relational as so much of the human healing journey is relational, and having a sense of safety is imperative to the healing process.

​

It acknowledges that all trauma happens in relationship either during the event or in how a person is supported or not supported afterward, and so it must be healed in relationship.

With Somatic Therapy, it is in the therapeutic alliance between the client and therapist.

​

Through compassion, curiosity, non-judgement and acceptance these experiences are reintegrated in the present moment, helping to undo past conditioning. ​

​

This brings more energy, vitality, and freedom to the present moment experience.

It supports us to live more embodied in the present, and not be caught in our bodies living in the past.
