Trauma-Based Bodywork & Energy Healing

I am a trauma-based bodyworker with over 20 years of foundational experience as a Registered Massage Therapist. My sessions are tailored to clients’ goals, presenting issues and symptoms, and typically integrate any or all of the following: CranioSacral Therapy & SomatoEmotional Release, Somatic Experiencing®, and Light Pressure Traditional Swedish Massage. I also offer other holistic interventions of Energy and Body healing, which I typically include when indicated: Reiki, Regression Therapy, & Ancestral/Traditional Healing.

​

Bodywork sessions primarily address the fascial and nervous systems. These two systems are integral in negotiating the body's ability to resolve stress, pain and "trauma" (overwhelm/PTSD). The methods I use help discharge traumatic stress from the body, which contribute to many symptoms experienced in PTSD and other syndromes.

In order to access these systems, a light touch is necessary: therefore, I do not do deep tissue massage treatments. Massage is a tool I use to help relax the system, so we can "go deeper".

​

I have a special interest in early developmental impacts, such as pre, post and peri-natal disturbances. I have experience working with PTSD, Migraines, Anxiety/Depression, & many Physiological and Psychological Syndromes. I am also familiar working with Pre & Post Psychedelic and Plant Medicine experiences, of which bodywork can greatly enhance integration.

​

Treatment frequency varies widely case-to-case .. but I do notice shifts can happen for clients between 4-8 regularly scheduled sessions (every 1-3 weeks).

​

I believe the body knows how to heal .. sometimes it just needs help activating the healing potential. What I do is help facilitate the system towards balance.

​

Questions/Intentions I encourage you to bring with you to any session with me, as this will drive the focus and energy of the work:

​

*What do you want to see happen and/or experience?

*What would you want to be different at the end of each session?

*What is important for you?

​

All sessions seek to unearth and shift patterns of pain, stress and blocked survival life force energy. This is done mindfully, compassionately and within a client's own pace and rhythm. 

​

I believe in a holistic approach to healing and wellness. Therefore my work represents an integration of mind-body-spirit. Please see my credentials below. It would be an honour to work with you. 

I am honoured to practice as part of the team at Newmarket Therapy Centre​, located in downtown Newmarket. 

This Centre of Psychotherapists is truly a healing Centre, with my partner Jason Koenigbaur, RP at the helm. 

​

I approach my work intuitively, but with a strong foundation and understanding of the body’s basic physiological and energetic processes, primarily that of the nervous system. 

The nervous system is our “map of wellness” and is the guide in my bodywork. My current studies reflect the latest in the neurochemistry of stress and trauma.

​

The energetic healing therapies I use are grounded in years of experience and study.

​

I believe that a Higher Power is always present and willing to assist in the healing potential.​
