Psychotherapy
My intention is to hold a safe space for your process of healing. My work is holistic and inclusive of the body, mind and soul. I offer in-person, online or outdoor nature-based sessions.
I use multiple therapeutic approaches including: somatic (body-based), mindfulness, strengths-based, solution-focused, energetic and cognitive behavioral techniques. Having been a client myself, I recognize the benefits of therapy and also the awkwardness that can come with it. That is why I use a warm, light-hearted approach while also using research-based knowledge to inform my practice.
Yoga Nidra & Yoga Events
Yoga nidra is a powerful deep relaxation technique. The practice involves focusing on the breath and various body sensations while relaxing the mind in a systematic way. It is a therapeutic tool that helps with stress management, insomnia, chronic pain, PTSD, anxiety and depression.
“Yoga nidra represents a state in which an individual demonstrates all the symptoms of deep, non-REM sleep, including delta brain waves, while simultaneously remaining fully conscious” Parker et al. (2013).
You deserve to be well-rested and at peace. A personalized yoga nidra practice can be an effective tool to support physical healing, an athlete’s preparation for a competition or to help ease the mind and de-stress.
As a paramedic, I found this technique to be the most supportive for my nervous system and I am passionate about sharing it with you!
I teach a weekly restorative yoga class in Kelowna at AF Academy https://www.afacademy.ca/schedule
Group Presentations/ Retreats
I enjoy facilitating group events that are psychoeducational and/or experiential. This includes presentations on the importance of nervous system regulation through rest and relaxation.
Contact me if you are looking for an engaging wellness seminar. I would be humbled to be a guest presenter at your work or event.
Drawing from my diverse background as a paramedic and my deep interest in the complexities of human consciousness, I offer comprehensive psychedelic preparation and integration services. My journey began in the fast-paced world of emergency response, where I witnessed firsthand the intricate psychological patterns individuals undergo. Additionally, encountering unexplained paranormal phenomena fueled my curiosity about the interplay between spirit, mind, and body. With a foundation in kinesiology and experience as a yoga teacher, I seamlessly integrate physical and spiritual aspects into my practice. This unique blend allows me to guide individuals through their psychedelic experiences with a holistic understanding, addressing not only surface-level challenges but also delving into underlying emotional and psychological roots. Utilizing somatic and energetic healing techniques such as Life Centered Therapy, I facilitate profound inner exploration, helping clients navigate and transcend barriers to growth and self-discovery.
