Integration of Body and Brain
Trauma is held in the body so your path to healing is integrating your body with your brain. Finding your safe place within, witnessing, then unburdening your story of grief or trauma is the path to health and wholeness. As a trauma informed counsellor I have the EMDR training to guide you into a life of connection with yourself and others. Your brain and body knows how to heal once the framework is in place. This is not talk therapy so spending hours retelling the story of grief and trauma is not necessary.

My Story
Mother. Grandmother. Widow. Sister. Quilter. Dog Lover. Coffee Addict.
I come to this specialty because of my own losses. I retired from school counselling a few years ago, after I was widowed. Our time in palliative care, sparked the desire to serve in the area of loss and grief. During those weeks in palliative care, I discovered that the process of dying is much like birthing: messy, painful, lengthy, lonely, intense. Not many people want to be involved in this topic. Yet, death and dying is also profound. And sacred. The world and my place in it changed completely, just as it did when I became a mother.
Once able to rejoin the world in a meaningful way, I added grief and trauma training to my credentials. These classes confirmed my desire to establish this specialty online. I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor and have my Trauma Informed Training. I want you to know that I can listen and bear witness to where you are in your sorrow.
