It’s important to keep in mind that every session is different and tailored to each individual’s needs and comfort level. Building connection, establishing trust, following what comes up, and processing are all important.

A typical Core session is approximately 55 mins long (although I do also offer a 90 min session).  The initial session will involve an intake conversation, so that I may be able to obtain important information from you including basic information, health and family history, and therapy goals.

Following the initial session, we can begin the work and can start discussing how you’re feeling and what you need on that particular day.

Next we’ll proceed with a combination of talk therapy, that may or may not lead us to doing some bodywork, guided meditation, physical movements, or hands-on techniques that are appropriate to your particular needs that day.

The work is primarily experiential – which means we’ll spend time with what you’re feeling in your body – listening to your body, mind, and spirit, with hopes of becoming aware of what might be holding you back.

My private office is in Whitby, ON.

It is best to wear comfortable clothes, and to bring water to drink. 

Long distance (Skype) session are also possible.

Unfortunately no. Payment is required at the beginning of a session in form of an e-transfer or cash.

That varies. I’d recommend weekly or bi-weekly sessions initially. If you can’t commit to that, as often as you can manage. We may work together intensively for a time period and then less frequently as you get in touch with you, your blocks, your body.
