I grew up on Vancouver Island and feel so grateful to live, learn, and work on Stz'uminus territory. I spend my days walking in nature, connecting with clients, while always reading and learning everyday how to be a better helper.

​

I believe we each carry an abundance of inner-wisdom and resources that can help us transform our lives. Rediscovering or re-remembering this wisdom can help one overcome fear, achieve goals, and develop strategies for success in all areas of life.

​

Having always been inquisitive and open to learning different ways of knowing and being, my path to being a hypnotherapist and counsellor involved many twists and turns. Because of a tumultuous early life, I was sensitive and was seriously affected by the words of others. Words like, "You'll never be able to do that" pushed me to succeed and accomplish what I was told I would never be able to do. This eventually led to a 20-year healing journey to learn as much as I could about mind/body healing and practical communication. Throughout this journey I discovered my inner strength as I learned to reconnect my mind and body through yoga, meditation, and self-care. Yoga helped me to release stress, anxiety, and fear and find my inner confidence. Through teaching Yin yoga, I discovered a need to learn better counselling and communication skills and thus returned to school to study counselling through a degree in Child and Youth Care (CYC).    

 

My journey ultimately led to learning hypnotherapy as a way to transform limiting beliefs that were preventing my personal forward momentum. I truly believe in hypnotherapy and want to share this amazing modality with others. I am now a certified counselling hypnotherapist as I employ hypnosis in combination with counselling in order to facilitate healing and promote well-being. I am also currently pursuing a MA degree in order to be a Registered Clinical Counsellor in BC.
