Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Body image concerns are often rooted in early relational experience and internalized emotional patterns. My work integrates psychoanalytic thinking, clinical sexology, and somatic awareness to support a more compassionate and embodied relationship with the body. This process helps patients reconnect with their sense of self beyond shame and self-judgment.

Aria Fraser
Hypnotherapist, Certified Rapid Transformational Therapist
If a person has a negative view of their body image, it usually stems from negative experiences where a child was made to feel unloved or unsafe around others, if they were the target of some negative judgment, abuse, or trauma. If a belief was formed that they were not good enough/ pretty enough/ perfect enough/ big enough/ safe enough, or felt they had to comply with abuse from a caregiver whom they depended on, or they feel too different compared to others, it affects the way they see themselves and impacts their ability to connect with other people in a healthy way. An example of another such belief can look like "I want to feel/ look attractive, but attractive people get abused/ assaulted". Rapid Transformational Therapy is incredibly effective at helping a person see how those beliefs of poor body/ self-image were trying to help them or protect them. They can then be compassionately released, and new beliefs of empowerment and acceptance created in their place. RTT specializes in transforming people with complete self-acceptance, as that is often the root of so many issues. Ongoing support is given after the session to provide further help.
