Amanda Sawatzky began her Somatic Experiencing journey in 1999 (just a baby then ????) and has been a SEP for 20-plus years.
She is also an RCC (Registered Clinical Counsellor) and CCC (Certified Canadian Counsellor) and is an approved counsellor with FNHA, CVAP, Medavie and ICBC. She has a BA in Psychology as well as Masters in counselling psychology.
Amanda also completed Kathy Kain’s touch training in the early 2000’s and regularly incorporates this into her work. She is also trained as a level 2 Gottman couples counsellor and EMDR. Amanda has a playful approach to healing and is willing to incorporate multiple ways of working with trauma.
Amanda works with both children and adults, and has a private practice as well as works part-time for a non-profit community agency.
Amanda has assisted at trainings helping others learn this work since 2001 (20+ years) and enjoys supporting others in their learning. She is approved to do individual sessions and consults at all levels (beginner-advanced).
When Amanda isn’t working, you might find her out for a walk, rollerskating, on a beach somewhere, hanging with her kids, camping or travelling.
