bio
Discovering the intricate landscape of mental health and well-being has been a deeply personal journey for me, rooted in my own encounters with depression, grief, anxiety, and more. Through these experiences, I've cultivated a profound curiosity of what it is to be a human being in a complex and diverse world.
I recognize that each of us walks a unique and personal path, which sometimes can be challanging to navigate.
My curiosity has led me to achieve the following holistic modalities ...
Diploma in Colour Therapy, Advanced Diploma in Transpersonal Art Therapy, Certifications as a Meditation Teacher, Trauma-Informed Coach and
Embodied Processing Practitioner.
I am dedicated to providing personalized care to each of my clients, and am committed to ongoing training and education to stay up-to-date on the latest research and techniques.

Transpersonal Art Therapy/Creative Expression
Transpersonal Art Therapy offers a wide range of benefits suitable for individuals of all ages, especially those who struggle to express their emotions verbally.
This holistic approach presents a myriad of benefits and diverse creative avenues for clients, encompassing various aspects of the human journey as they navigate life's transitions, challenges, and joys.
Within this secure and supportive environment, clients are empowered to fully engage in their creative exploration, leading to profound insights and healing.
My approach is client-centred, embracing their phenomenological experiences and providing a space free from judgment for them to delve into their inner selves, emotions, and spiritual dimensions.
Creative expression is not about meeting expectations but rather about embracing the journey of self-discovery. Clients are encouraged to let the process unfold naturally, utilizing mediums such as painting, clay, drawing, movement, poetry, body mapping, collage, sound, music, nature walks, and more to explore the facets of themselves that need healing.
Guided sessions facilitate experiences such as self-exploration, emotional release, spiritual connection, symbolic exploration, self-discovery, integration, and healing. Through these processes, clients embark on a holistic journey towards healing and self-discovery, recognizing the interconnectedness of
mind, body, and spirit.
Ultimately, Transpersonal Art Therapy fosters insight and personal growth, offering a comprehensive approach to holistic well-being, on the road to individuation.
unlocking the path to healing
Trauma Healing/Embodied Processing
Everyone experiences trauma, it's part of the human condition!
A traumatic experience can manifest through various dimensions: genealogical, gestational, developmental, acute, collective, pre-conscious, and pre-cognitive. The manner in which we internalize and process such life experiences, hinges upon our individual capacities and available resources. Failure to fully process these experiences, regardless of their nature, results in a sustained activation of our nervous system and a perpetual state of stress and hypervigilance within our bodies.
Consequently, we develop adaptive responses for survival, such as anxiety, depression, anger, rage, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which often precipitates addictive behaviors, unhealthy habits, and antisocial tendencies. These adaptations manifest across mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical domains, contributing to a range of consequential effects.
These survival-based adaptations tend to dominate our way of being, giving rise to identifiable states, traits, and triggers that may be perceived as inappropriate behaviors. Underlying these manifestations are feelings of shame, guilt, and erroneous belief systems, all of which stem from a dysregulated nervous system.
Embodied processing offers a gradual pathway to address these issues, employing specialized techniques aimed at releasing stored trauma and emotional blockages, ultimately facilitating the regulation of the nervous system. The resulting health benefits are manifold, with life becoming more manageable as triggers diminish and relaxation becomes more attainable.
Embodied Processing is a major key practice for anyone’s journey towards healing.

Some of the benefits of practicing Mediation are; improved focus and concentration, emotional well-being, enhanced sleep quality, reduced anxiety and depression, better physical health, increased Self-awareness and mindfulness.
