Personal experience teaches me that healing is messy. I feel privileged to share skills as a Somatic Experiencing practitioner, grief facilitator, funeral celebrant, and licensed funeral director. But first and foremost I want to be a human with you.

Welcome! I am a registered social worker, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner® and Tao of Trauma & Co-regulating Touch/Table Work Practitioner.

I hold space for, explore, and co-create healing conversations around challenges that folks face connected to experiences with developmental, relational, and complex trauma; including stress, grief & loss, anxiety and depression, difficult life transitions, challenging relationships, as well as chronic health conditions connected to developmental traumas.

I have training in attachment theory, human development, complex and developmental trauma, the neurophysiology of trauma, and healing through somatic touch and table work. I integrate Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems-Informed (IFSCA) and Attachment-focused principles to invite a compassionate, strengths-based, & resilience-promoting perspective to the folks with whom I share space. I offer co-regulating touch / table work – a holistic body/mind method that addresses ways in which emotional pain and stress are held in our bodies, supporting people to find nervous system settling and coherence. This is a safe and effective way to work with early prenatal/perinatal and early developmental traumas. I have completed trainings in somatic touch skills and developmental trauma with Alaine Duncan, Kathy Kain, and Steve Terrell.

Together, we will explore: relearning and listening to the language of the body, establishing a felt sense of safety, reconnecting with the organic rhythms of your nervous system; listening compassionately to your emotions; connecting with your inner wisdom and the innate capacity you have for healing; deepening relationships; and, reconnecting with your life energy, playfulness, and joy.

If you are interested in working with me, I invite you to email me directly at mysacounselling@gmail.com. I offer a no-obligation 20 minute video consult to meet together, discuss your interest in my work, explore whether we are a good match to meet your goals.

To those of you pursuing SEP training, I am qualified to offer personal sessions at the Beginner Level to students in the provinces of Ontario and Alberta. Please email me at mysacounselling@gmail.com for further information.

Hello! I’m happy you found your way here. I am a trauma-informed somatic practitioner integrating Somatic Experiencing® and partswork (IFS-informed) in a slow, relational, and co-created process.

I support adults navigating the impacts of developmental and relational/interpersonal trauma, including those healing from childhood abuse, sexual trauma, anxiety disorders, chronic pain and fibromyalgia, grief, and challenges with self-worth. My work invites a deep reconnection to the body’s innate wisdom and supports nervous system regulation, emotional resilience, and embodied self-trust.

In addition to somatic dialogue based work, I also offer gentle somatic touch/table work to support the nervous system. For returning clients, I offer somatic art sessions, where we explore creative expression through mixed media art as a way of giving form and voice to what’s been alive within.

My professional foundation is rooted in trauma-informed yoga therapy (C-IYAT), Somatic Experiencing®, registered massage therapy (RMT), and medical acupuncture. Though I am not currently active in my RMT or acupuncture practice, these modalities have shaped my understanding of anatomy, physiology, and the body’s capacity for healing with compassion.

Additionally, I have acquired professional training in embodied dance, group process work, clinical somatic movement, nidra, meditation and breathwork, vaginal steaming, and folk herbalism.

Beyond my private practice, I facilitate somatic group spaces for women to explore embodiment and feminine healing, and I also educate movement and wellness professionals in the areas of musculoskeletal anatomy, somatics, myofascial release, and nervous system education, having trained over 400 professionals to date.

For 1x1 work, I invite you to book a free 15 minute discovery call so we can get to know each other before diving in. I look forward to working together!
