Specialties

Discovery Call

Discover yourself and where you are on your journey.

60-minute coaching session

This combines talking, relaxing and connecting with the body.

Together, we’ll build a greater mind-body connection.

Healing happens in safe spaces, so during our sessions, I’ll create a safe container where you can share your story.

30-minute discovery call

If you’re a new client, or if you just want to learn more about what I do, we’ll start with a free 30-minute discovery call. During this time, I’ll ask you what you’re looking for in a trauma care practitioner and where you’re at in your trauma recovery journey. You can also ask questions about me, my practice, and my approach.  

60-minute session

A 1-hour session dedicated to you and your trauma recovery journey. This session will be a combination of talking, relating, connecting with the body, and calling in the resources you already have. Your body has an innate impulse to heal, so together, we’ll find that impulse and support it however we can. 

Pay scale options

I believe in mutual aid, collective care, helping those in need, and giving back to communities who have been systemically traumatized and historically marginalized. To align with those values, I offer sliding scale rates based on your community and financial resources.

If you choose to work with me, I ask that you pay what you can depending on your privilege and financial resources. If finances are still a barrier, please reach out to me directly so we can work something out

Basic Care

$40–$80

For those who are financially struggling to meet their basic needs or who come from communities that have been historically marginalized.

Self Care

$80–$120

For those who have the financial means to meet their basic needs and have a small amount left over for personal care.

Collective Care

$120–$150

For those who have the financial means to more-than meet their basic needs and can also put money aside for personal care and savings.

The healing process

Healing happens in safe spaces, so during our sessions, I’ll create a safe container where you can share your story. It’s my goal to make you feel heard, seen, and valued, never judged. I’ll help you navigate your trauma recovery journey using a combination of education, body work, life experience, and relational attunement. We’ll also identify the tools and resources you have to work towards your trauma recovery goals. Remember, your body already has an innate impulse to heal.

With your permission, I can also integrate somatic experiencing and parts work into our sessions. Traumatic events leave unprocessed fight-flight-freeze energy in our nervous systems. Trauma also leads to our parts taking on roles they’re not meant for. I believe in a body-centred approach when recovering from trauma. By blending both somatic experiencing and parts work, I can bring your body into the healing process so we can hear what your parts and your nervous system have to say.

MY AREAS OF KNOWLEDGE

How I work and what I work with:

01. Somatic experiencing

Your story might live in your brain, but your trauma lives in your body. Traumatic events leave unprocessed fight-flight-freeze energy in our nervous systems. Approximately 80% of information flows from the body to the brain, so I believe in taking a body-first approach when healing trauma. I listen to your nervous system’s story through a blend of somatic experiencing, mindfulness, and body work.

02. Parts work

We are made up of many different parts who carry out many different roles. Working with those parts can help us understand why we behave a certain way. Sometimes our parts want us to heal their wounds through a process called unburdening. Other times, they just want to be heard and validated. We’ll do both through a blend of parts work, inner child work, and shadow work.

03. Systemic trauma

Every day, we live with the effects of racism, sexism, ableism, and classism. Homophobia and transphobia are on the rise. North America was built on the foundations of white supremacy and colonialism, yet we refuse to look at those wounds or take part in the collective healing we need to move forward. I’m done with the old way. My practice is political, and I take those societal systems into account during our work together so we can shift into a new way of healing.

04. Intergenerational trauma

Through the study of epigenetics, we know that trauma is passed down through DNA for at least 7 generations. That means you can experience symptoms from trauma that originally happened to your great-great-great-great grandparents. Typically, intergenerational trauma is handed down from parent to child until someone is ready to break the cycle. I help the people I work with break cycles of intergenerational trauma and find a new path forward.

05. Complex trauma

Complex trauma is relational trauma. It happens when we go through multiple interpersonal traumas over a long period of time and cannot escape. I help people recover from abusive, manipulative, and toxic relationships. I help anyone who has tried to speak to their abuser about it, but leaves the conversation feeling shaken and confused. You’re confused because they know exactly what they’ve done, but they’re denying your reality to get out of the consequences. I can help.

06. Childhood trauma

Childhood trauma comes in many forms. Maybe you grew up with parents who were supportive, but cold and distant. Maybe you were forced to become an adult before you were ready, or you felt like you were the parent in the parent-child relationship. Maybe you tried to bring your feelings up with your parent or caregiver, but they shut you down and made you doubt your own thoughts. You might not even know what exactly the issue is, just that something is wrong. If any of that resonates, give me a call. I’d love to help you make sense of it.
