I have worked in the field of healthcare for the past 26 years as a massage therapist, qigong meditation teacher, college instructor and workshop facilitator. Each day, each client and every experience continue to teach me how our whole body can heal and thrive again.
As a Somatic Experiencing training assistant, my intention is to offer you a welcoming, safe and compassionate space where you can slow your mind, feel your body and connect with its resilience and wisdom. In my SE practice, I offer an integration of body-centred tools such as SE touch, qigong movements and craniosacral techniques. In the community and in practice, I have spent the past 25 years supporting children and adults who have been impacted by sexual trauma.
Recent Courses: • Touch Skills for Complex Trauma with Kathy Kain • SE Master Class: Sexual Trauma, Sexual Healing with Dr. Peter Levine • Healing Sexual Trauma: A Somatic Approach to Client Therapy with Peter Levine and Diane Poole Heller.
Area of Specialty: Anxiety, PTSD and Sexual Trauma.
Over the past 28 years, I have had the pleasure and honour of attending the “School of Life” where I have raised 4 wonderful young-adult children. In my leisure time, I enjoy being outside in the forest hiking and snowshoeing or on the water, paddle boarding. My life, as a whole, reflects the value of being in compassionate, connected relationship with myself and others.
