Consulting
Do you continously seek to enhance your services? Are you looking to offer the best to your team and clients?
I offer Clinical Consultation and training to individuals and organizations. I am trained in Trauma-informed Supervision and bring an an anti-oppressive lens to my work. I draw from my extensive experience to support front line workers.
Expand trauma skills, learn self-care, achieve work-life balance, prevent burnout, critically reflect, and authentically work with the values of social justice and equity and exceed professional expectations. Why not grow with the help of an expert?
I have also given talks, guest lectured, and delivered hundreds of workshops. I led a program with Black, Indigenous, and racialized women that won First Prize for Excellence in Prevention, Promotion, and Protection of Health and Welfare from the Quebec Ministry of Health. Subsequently, I was a nominee for the Paul Yuzyk award for multiculturalism.
Yoga and Mindfulness Retreats, Classes, and Workshops
Based in traditional gentle hatha yoga and mindfulness meditation and informed by work as a therapist, this holistic practice can help with stress reduction; grounding; mind-body wellness; being in the present moment; building strength and resilience; distress tolerance; self-regulation; managing somatic manifestations of emotional overload; preventing burnout, and post-traumatic growth through embodiment.
Many individuals and groups have benefitted from my skills as a therapist, mindfulness facilitator, and yoga teacher over the years.
Why not give this gift to your clients or team a to promote wellness or consider adding yourself to a waitlist for a trauma-informed gentle mindful yoga class? Yoga is for every body and every body is for yoga!
I am grateful for having had the opportunity to train under the tutelage of Dr. Madan Bali of Yoga Bliss, to have completed Lisa Danylchuk's Yoga for Trauma training, and to have facilitated many groups over the years, including in post-secondary educational, private, healthcare, and community settings.
