About Me

My Intentions

As an Ayurvedic Health Counsellor, my mission is to empower women to become their own healers. Through personalized guidance, I provide practical tools for self-inquiry, awareness, and mind-body healing. Ayurveda and yoga have been transformative for me, and I’m here to help you cultivate strength, resilience, and compassion using these ancient practices.

My Dharma

I believe we are all inherently whole and capable of living fulfilling lives, no matter the challenges we face. I see every struggle as a valuable teacher, and I’m deeply grateful to guide women through times of vulnerability and growth, helping them transform their lives from a place of authenticity and connection.

Specializations

I specialize in helping women overcome trauma, addiction, digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and disordered eating.

I believe the body has an innate capacity to heal itself, and we don’t need extreme measures to get there. Food, rest, and mindful use of our energy are the best medicines. My approach is simple but powerful: no supplements, strict diets, or exhausting workouts.

Ayurveda and yoga are ancient, holistic tools that restore balance and calm the body, mind, and spirit. I’ll help you transform your relationship with food, create a sustainable self-care routine, and cultivate a yoga practice that enhances both your physical and emotional well-being.

It’s all about aligning with nature’s wisdom to heal—and live with greater ease, connection, and vitality.

Background & Experience

I am a licensed social worker with a Master's in Social Work and over 8 years of experience supporting women in diverse clinical settings. My background includes working as an acute medical and oncology social worker, a mental health clinician for youth, and providing clinical social work services at Nelson Medical Clinic. I also specialize in trauma-informed care and body-focused psychotherapy through Somatic Experiencing International.

In addition to my clinical work, I receive mentorship in Ayurveda from my teacher, Myra Lewin, and clinical supervision with certified somatic practitioners. I also teach trauma-informed yoga at the Nelson School of Yoga and lead educational Ayurvedic workshops.

Therapeutic Approach

My approach blends Western therapeutic practices with the healing wisdom of Ayurveda and Yoga, creating a holistic model that addresses both physical and energetic well-being. I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches to support my clients, including:

Person-centred Therapy
Ecofeminist Theory
Attachment Theory
Strength-Based Therapy
Somatic Experiencing
Trauma Therapy
Holistic Healing Practices
Mindfulness & Meditation
Ayurveda & Yoga

This integrated approach allows me to meet clients where they are, offering a personalized and compassionate path to healing, transformation, and well-being.
