My style of holistic psychotherapy, which involves talk therapy, somatic, energetic exploration and visualization is a powerful and extremely effective way to tap into the messages that the body is trying to express and bring to the fore. This type of therapy addresses memory at the cellular level of a trauma or other events that a person may have experienced. We work to heal the past as well as deeply engage the present so that the future can be a wonderful existence. I started my practice back in the early 90's in Toronto where little was known about combining holistic modalities with talk therapy. We are not just talking heads. We are bodies, we are souls and we are the result of repetitive ways of thinking that we learned and normalized from our family of origin which I call our "Family-Culture". This subconscious material is what impacts our reactions, our adult relationships and our parenting. I love that I get to work with people from all over the world since I also work remotely in a very effective way in which I teach people how to utilize breath work and visualization as well as somatic focusing to maximize their talk therapy process. I often will spend some of the session bringing in healing music to accompany breathing and nervous system calming processes. Trauma is not healed through talk alone. In fact, sometime trauma is driven deeper into the person if talk is the only modality used. We need to engage the body, as well as different tools like visualization, intentional work as well as movement to actually affect change in a person's life in a more permanent way.
