With extensive learning in Somatic Psychology and my own personal therapy experiences, I am now offering the following services to clients who wish to enhance their lives through somatic therapeutic work. Utilizing body intelligence in this developmental approach, the foundation of Bodynamic Somatic Developmental Psychology is to help clients acquire new psychological resources, rather than breaking down defences.
If you choose to undergo therapy with me, you will be challenged just enough in each session to ensure progress, and we will spend considerable time working on increasing your self-observation skills. With my expertise, I can establish a therapeutic plan and identify the psychological themes that need attention. In each session, we will create a small contract together to help you progress through the therapeutic process.
You are welcome to schedule a free 15min Zoom consultation with me to see if we are the right fit to work together.

Somatic Art Workshops (All Materials Included)
About once a month, I offer in-person Somatic Art Workshops in Edmonton, Alberta. These workshops are usually 4 hours long and take place on selected Saturday afternoons. During the workshops, I spend about an hour on Somatic Psychology, using therapeutic tools to activate specific areas within ourselves that influence our creativity.
We commonly focus on centring, grounding, boundaries, and exploring our connection to meaning through our impulses and support. By the end of the workshop, students will have completed at least one framable artwork.
Please note that the goal of this workshop is not to paint a predetermined image, but to learn to create spontaneously. You will be introduced to techniques for achieving different patterns and textures, and you will be encouraged to follow your creative impulses throughout the session.
4h session for groups of 4-12 people ($80 + GST per person)
*I am available for hire for a private Somatic Art Workshops if you have an established group in mind. I am mobile to come to your location. Trips out of town will have an extra cost.
