Somatic Therapy & Counselling​

Welcome. If you’ve found your way here, you may be longing for deeper connection—with yourself, your body, your inner wisdom, or the parts of you that feel unseen. You’re not alone, and you don’t have to walk this path alone.

I offer a relational, body-based, and integrative counselling approach that gently meets you where you are, and supports you to move toward where you want to be—with presence, safety, and compassion.

 

My Approach​

My practice is rooted in Relational Somatic Therapy (RST), a trauma-informed approach that honours the body as central to healing.

Somatic Therapy recognizes that the nervous system holds the imprint of past experiences—especially those that were overwhelming, unmet, or unprocessed—and that healing must involve more than just talking. We gently bring awareness to the body’s cues, sensations, and wisdom in a way that is empowering and deeply resourcing.

I also draw from a diverse background that includes:

• Pre- and Perinatal Attachment Therapy

• Inquiry-Based Coaching

• Energy Work

• Herbalism and Ayurvedic Lifestyle Guidance

Together, we co-create a space where your system can unwind survival patterns, reclaim safety, and reweave a sense of wholeness and connection—within yourself and in relationship.

​

Why “Relational” Somatic Therapy?​

Because trauma happens in relationship—either in the original event or in how we were (or were not) supported afterward. And so, healing must also happen in relationship. In Somatic Therapy, this happens within the safety of the therapeutic alliance—a space where you are met with compassion, curiosity, and non-judgement.

As past experiences are witnessed and integrated, your system naturally begins to move toward more freedom, presence, and vitality. The body no longer has to live in the past.

​

Sessions are available in-person in Nelson, BC, online, or as Walk & Talk sessions for local clients who feel most supported outdoors in nature.

Cancellation Policy

Your session time is reserved just for you. I ask that you provide at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your session.

• Cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice will be subject to the full session fee.

• Exceptions can be made in cases of emergency or sudden illness—please reach out directly if something unexpected arises.

• No-shows without communication will also be billed at the full rate.

This policy supports the integrity of our work together and allows me to continue offering consistent care to all clients.

You're Not Meant to Do This Alone

It is an honour to walk beside you in your healing journey—to hold space for your truth, your unfolding, and your return to yourself.
