Healing That Goes Beyond Words
Online EMDR and somatic therapy for adults and parents in BC and Alberta
You've done the thinking. Your body hasn't caught up yet.
Maybe you’ve been in therapy before. You understand where your patterns come from, you can talk about them fluently — and yet, under stress, your body still reacts the way it always has. Old wounds still run the show, even when your mind knows better.
That gap between insight and change is exactly where body-based therapy and EMDR come in.
I work with adults and parents who are ready to go beneath the surface: to process what’s stuck, calm their bodies which have been in survival mode for too long, and finally feel like the past is in the past where it belongs.
What working together actually feels like
Sessions aren’t just talking in a circle. Depending on what you need, we might slow down and notice what’s happening in your body, use EMDR to process a specific memory, or simply talk through what’s coming up for you that week. Nothing is one size fits all, and you’re always in control of the pace.
