History of our Name

---

It has always been a passion of mine to help others work through their issues to improve their personal and family health. Throughout the years I have been an empathetic ear to many friends, family and often those that I have not come to know yet.  Professionally I have over 16 years experience working with youth and adults diagnosed with various addiction, behavioral, and mental health issues.  I also work as an addictions counsellor with Westbank First Nations and the surrounding community. 

I have always enjoyed the opportunity to be part of reconnecting someone with themselves and families. I strive to make everyone feel comfortable in sharing their personal issues and believe I demonstrate genuine caring and a non-judgmental attitude towards all my clients. I am here for your well being and look forward to taking that healing journey with you.

Ongoing education is very important to me, and I am always learning something new.  Below is a list of currently completed degrees and certifications:

• Certified Addiction Counsellor II from CCPC Global
• Canadian Indigenous Addiction Counsellor from CACCF

As a Chartered Professional Accountant, Chartered Accountant for over 25 years I was no stranger to the impact of stress on the body.  Diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis at the age of 20, health issues have always played a major role in my adult life.  It wasn't until I had gotten so sick that my entire colon was scheduled to be removed that I discovered BodyTalk.  I was so impressed with the results, and fascinated by the science behind it, that I completed comprehensive studies and training in BodyTalk techniques.  Never satisfied with only part of the picture, I have also studied other healing modalities and now have my own unique toolkit to facilitate healing in others.  I have also extensively developed my abilities to read energy and channel information from other realms.  I am happy to report that I am off all medication, am able to participate in activities I could only dream of before and have had zero relapses since. I am beyond excited to facilitate others on their own healing journey and awakening to their true self!
