Trauma Therapy

Covered Sessions

Initial & Follow up Sessions:  $150 per hour
online
Trauma is like a mudslide that rushes down a mountain and into the middle of our river of life.  The original channel gets blocked and you are now forced to into the new one. You are changed for life and will never be the same again. But you have a choice of how you will be changed.

Trauma Therapy session is an opportunity for you to receive one-on-one support for your healing journey. These sessions are for those who are ready to shed the layers created by the impact of trauma. Its for people who want to release trauma form their nervous system, rewrite their story, and begin reconnecting hit their instincts and their intuition. 
 
 I use a blend of approaches to achieve this healing. Somatic experiencing is a relatively short-term, somatically based approach to the healing and release of trauma from nervous system. Cognitive Bahavioural Therapies and Narrative Therapy support our cognitive health while Mindfulness meditations support our emotional wellbeing, finally nature based ancient healing practices can help harmonizie mind, body and spirit. 
​
​In our work together you will not be alone, you will gain insights about your strength, connect more deeply with your own healing journey, you will weave a new way of being from the pieces that feel so shattered and scattered right now.

These sessions can be very effective for people who have been in a car accident, or went through traumatic birth.

Intuitive Healing

Initial & Follow up Sessions:  $150 per hour
online

Somewhere deep in your heart, you know that you are here on this earth to connect, create, heal, or lead. I believe that our creative potential can only be recovered when we return home to ourselves and when we feel safe and supported enough  to play. When we are disconnected from who we truly are, we are disconnected from our life force. Our return home begins with reconnection to ourselves and our inner child.​ Intuitive healing session invites you to connect. It is for those who are interested in touching into the deeper yet lighter layers of healing and receiving. The session begins with a conversation that explores your inner landscape of thoughts & feelings and outer landscape of your general life situation. These sessions are a chance to share your story, be heard in unconditionally loving and non-judgemental space, and receive feedback and guidance. In a session we will co-create a map of small actions towards change, ceremonies, meditation & dreamwork practices, ideas of creative play and resources that will help guide you forward. Sessions may include somatic dream exploration, personalized ceremony, guided visualization, meditation, or a shamanic journeys with a drum, sining bowl, rattle or chimes. 

Integration of Altered States of Counsciousness

​Initial & Follow up Sessions:  $150 per hour
online

• Are you returning back to ordinary life after an impactful psychedelic journey?
• Did you have a psychedelic experience you wish to make sense of, and integrate it into the ordinary reality?
• Do you want to learn strategies to integrate experiences of altered state of consciousness into your ordinary life?
• Did you have a challenging psychedelic journey that has remained emotionally unresolved?

I believe that integrating altered states of consciousness back into ordinary reality requires time, safety and support. While the use of psychedelic substances remains tightly controlled in Canada, the reality is that many people use mind altering substances, such as Ayahuasca, DMT, Ibogaine, Psilocybin, LSD, Peyote, MDMA, oral THC, and other psychedlics, in various settings and contexts. Recent research suggests that some psycho-active substances have the potential to catalyze profound psychological healing and spiritual growth. That said, they can also bring about dark and traumatic journeys. Today, some people use these mind altering plants and brews recreationally, while others use them as sacred spiritual teachers and healers. While people who had positive experiences with these plants often look for support in integrating and bridging between ordinary and non-ordinary realities, people who have traumatic experiences with these powerful substances may face many challenging feelings, conflicting thoughts, and symptoms of anxiety and trauma symptoms following their experiences.

Psychedelic Integration session is focused on helping people piece together their experiences in a nonjudgmental, holistic and healing way. Integration involves reflection on both the thoughts and the feelings that one underwent, somatic processing of the experience, creative reflection, active dreaming work, exploration and assimilation of the gained insights into one’s life for lasting and positive change.

Please note that I do not guide or supervise any psychedelic experiences and will never suggest or provide any psychedelic or other controlled substance to clients during the course of therapy. I will not offer information on how to access, buy, or sell any illegal substances. Please do not plan to attend therapy sessions while under the influence of psychedelic substances or any other controlled substance, unless prescribed by a qualified doctor. ​
