A safe space to deepen

I’ve sat with what I would like to call this offering for a long time, and I’m still not settled on it. The term counselling is generally equated to talk-therapy and is often used to describe the “skilled and principled use of human relationships to facilitate self- knowledge, emotional acceptance and growth and the optimal development of personal resources”.

While that general definition points at some of what I do, it also leaves out more. For starters, I don’t focus on or draw from only human relationships, but also those we have with the non-human and spirit worlds. We are nature, and trying to remove ourselves from or place ourselves above our non-human kin has resulted in a great deal of suffering – both for humans and the planet. In these sessions, re-enchanting ourselves with the animate earth and remembering this connection will be integral.

This container is an extension of my Tea Journey™️ offering. I wanted to give you the opportunity to work with me one-on-one on a recurring basis. The silent Tea ceremony will be followed by a deep listening session to hold space for whatever feels present and holds energy for you in that moment. Together, we will focus on self-knowledge and growth - both deep and wide. We may also focus on sacred ways of listening, means of connecting with the earth, somatic practices, dreamwork or the process of soul initiation. I’ll draw from my own background as a nature guide, yoga Nidra teacher, somatic practitioner, dreamer, mystic and Tea Ceremonialist. We may drum or dance, there may be homework practices or readings I ask you to do, there may also be simply sitting in space with silence and listening to what arises. Everyone is unique, and so each session will be as well.

Please understand; these sessions are NOT a replacement for traditional psychotherapy. I am not a medical doctor and cannot diagnose, treat or prescribe medication for any medical or mental health concerns or conditions. I am not a licensed therapist and cannot assist people in crisis. This offering does not replace traditional therapy, medical treatment or health advice from registered practitioners. What I do offer CAN compliment those practices though, creating a more wholistic approach to healing and being human. This offering is meant to be paired with additional counseling, therapy, or healing modalities such as acupuncture, EMDR, trauma or body work. If you are already on the path and doing the work, looking to dive deeper (or take the first steps) into your soul’s expansion, learn more about how to listen to your body, or find that missing ‘something’, then this might be the perfect fit.

*I am currently pursuing a graduate degree in East-West Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies with specializations in Spiritual Counseling. I am a registered student member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association, but my program is non-clinical. This does mean that I am not currently able to accept any form of insurance as payment. Sliding scale pricing is available for those to whom cost is a barrier.
