Life can feel overwhelming when you constantly give to others while neglecting your needs. Holistic Counselling helps you reconnect with yourself, providing the support and guidance needed to address emotional, mental, and physical challenges. Together, we’ll explore your strengths, uncover what brings you joy, and guide you toward healing and personal growth.
I take a holistic, compassionate, and collaborative approach to counselling, designed to support you in reconnecting with your authentic self across mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. In our sessions, I incorporate moments of fun and humour, creating a warm and approachable environment that can make the healing process feel more natural and authentic.
Sessions go beyond traditional talk therapy by integrating the body’s wisdom and encouraging awareness of physical sensations and emotions. We’ll take the time to slow down, be present, and connect with the moment, using mindfulness, visualization, somatic awareness, and creative expression practices to explore your experiences at your own pace. This holistic, lighthearted approach provides space for authentic self-exploration, offering the potential for growth and inner healing.In my practice, I draw from a variety of evidence-based therapeutic modalities, including:

I offer one-on-one holistic counselling that supports reconnecting you with yourself, through the integration of mind, body, and emotions. My areas of focus include supporting with the following:
Rediscover a positive relationship between your body and food
Diet culture often teaches us that our value lies in our physical appearance, but your worth goes far beyond that. As a holistic counsellor, I advocate for Health at Every Size (HAES) and embrace intuitive and mindful eating practices, focusing on the somatic mind-body connection. Together, we’ll work to break free from the pressures of food monitoring, guilt, and body shame. By focusing on intuitive and mindful eating practices, we can help you reconnect with your body’s natural wisdom and build a balanced relationship with food.
Counselling for Body Image and Food Challenges can help you:
Finding balance and empowerment in your life
The pressures of external expectations often clash with your internal needs, leading to anxiety, stress, and feelings of overwhelm. Through holistic counselling, we’ll explore how these challenges manifest in both your mind and body, helping you find relief and balance. I’ll support you in developing the tools to manage stress, reduce anxiety, and live more authentically.
Counselling for Anxiety and Stress can help you:
Finding greater purpose and meaning in life
If you’re seeking deeper self-awareness, counselling can be a powerful tool for personal growth. We’ll explore your identity, purpose, and direction through creative expression and introspection, helping you reconnect with your authentic self. By integrating somatic awareness, you’ll gain insight into how your body and emotions contribute to your overall sense of purpose.
Counselling for Self-Discovery and Creative Exploration can help you:
Cultivating confidence and authenticity
Low self-esteem can leave you feeling disconnected from your true self, and it’s easy to internalize the unrealistic standards set by society. In a supportive and nurturing space, we’ll explore the roots of your self-esteem challenges and work to redefine your self-image. Together, we’ll build the confidence needed to navigate life with a stronger sense of self-worth.
Counselling for Self-Esteem and Self-Image can help you:
Absolutely. Online counselling offers us the ability to connect from anywhere and offers you more flexibility in scheduling. Sessions are offered using a secure online video platform called Jane App, which is compliant with healthcare privacy laws in Canada.

As Soul Flow Therapy is home in a fitness facility, and therefore the COVID-19 strategy was informed by public health guidelines as required by the office of the BC Provincial Health Officer (BC PHO). We acknowledge that this situation is ever-evolving and are committed to updating this strategy as required.
Yes, I offer complimentary phone consultations to help you determine if we’re a good fit. This is a great opportunity to ask any questions and learn more about my approach.
Your appointment time is reserved just for you! I require 24 hours notice for any cancellations.
A late cancellation or missed visit leaves a hole in my day that could have been filled by another client. Clients who provide less than 24 hours notice will be charged a fee of $50. If the appointment is missed entirely the full fee is charged.
Not at all. There is no experience required as art therapy is about the process rather than the product of your creation. Exploring creatively is more about the feelings that you have during your journey rather than what the image looks like at the end.
Most extended health plans in BC cover the services of Registered Clinical Counsellors. Refer to your plan manual or call the insurer and they will be able to assist you.
If you have coverage, you will be required to pay me directly in full for your session, and then submit your receipt to your insurance company for reimbursement.
The number of sessions varies depending on your unique situation and goals. Some individuals may find relief in just a few sessions, while others benefit from ongoing support. We’ll discuss your needs and tailor the frequency of sessions to your progress and comfort.
Great question! Art Therapy is a therapeutic modality that explores incorporating the use of art and working through the creative process. This allows people to reach deeper levels of healing beyond talk therapy alone. Working with art can help empower individuals to express themselves without the use of words to facilitate healing.
Somatic Therapy is a holistic approach to psychotherapy that taps into the mind-body connection. By tuning into physical sensations, Somatic Therapy can help process thoughts, feelings, and emotions that can turn up as stored stress, tension and trauma in the body.
Drawing from Somatic Experiencing® (SE™) and Mindfulness-Based Somatic Therapy techniques, I guide you in tuning into physical sensations and emotions. By gently navigating these sensations, you can release tension and foster a greater sense of ease and awareness in your body.
The first session is focused on getting to know each other, understanding your concerns, and establishing your goals for therapy. We’ll explore what brought you here and discuss how counselling can support your needs.
