The Healing Process

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a session look like?

Whether we meet online or in person I will hold show up with presence, compassion and curiosity.

A session may be very focused on a specific issue or a longer-term pattern. Sessions are present time focused and connect us back to the past through sensation, movement, images, behaviors and thoughts

My approach will vary depending on your specific needs and are an alchemy of your needs, intentions and history.

Are your therapy services covered by insurance?

As a registered therapeutic counselor, I am covered by Sun Life, and several other insurances. Please check to see if your insurance coverage includes counselling. You will be expected to pay for your session in full at the time of service and request reimbursement from your insurance company.

Is this somatic therapy effective online?

Absolutely. Some people prefer to receive support while they are in in their own space. Much can be gained online. I offer online sessions on a secure platform.

How will I feel after my session?

You may feel fatigued after your session, or you may have more energy.

I often hear my clients say, “I feel like I was seen”. “I have some hope”. “I feel lighter. like something has been lifted from me”

Is change still possible after many years of feeling stuck?

Yes. Neuroplasticity allows for brain and body to shift from stuck to a greater sense of freedom and ease

What is your cancellation policy?

For individual sessions I request 48 hours cancellation notice.

How are the past and present connected in this work?

The past and present are deeply connected through the body. Experiences from earlier in life can shape how your nervous system responds today, often in ways that happen outside of your conscious awareness.

What is the counsellor’s role in this process?

As a counsellor, somatic therapist and somatic body therapist, we work together to help you unravel the threads that may be holding you back, supporting your body’s natural movement toward healing and resilience.

What do I do between sessions?

There may be practices I will invite you to explore outside of session if it feels like a good fit for you. There is not “homework” but there may be ‘playwork” that is optional to explore outside.

Typically we will try to find one or two practices or tools that feel supportive for you for a take home practice.
