Awaken Curiosity​
​
A different way into meaning—led by inner knowing, not striving.
​Each of us carries inner stories shaped by caregivers, community, culture, and earliest efforts to stay safe, loved, and connected. We also live within histories, societies, and systems that shape our experience—these influences are real, and they matter.
Stories that once served us, over time can confine us, shaping how we move through the world and relate to ourselves and others. When we meet these patterns with curiosity and compassion, something softens—old ways loosen, and new ways of being become possible, guided by a deeper sense of truth and wholeness.
​
I deeply value the transformative potential of psychotherapy. My students and I aim to create a space that is safe enough to explore sensations, emotions, and the patterns that shape your lived experience. These patterns are not personal failures—they are expressions of ways of surviving, loving, protecting, and belonging, shaped by family, ancestry, culture, and history.
​
This includes your relationship to vitality, creativity, and sexuality—the life force that moves through the body and seeks expression, connection, and meaning. For many, sexuality has been shaped not only by trauma or loss, but also by societal pressures or experiences that led to bracing or disconnection. In this work, sexuality is never a requirement or focus unless and until you choose it; but it can be approached gently, in a way that honours both your personal history and the broader contexts that have shaped your experience.

Your Body, Your Wisdom
​​Whatever brings you here, our commitment is to walk alongside you with respect for your agency, your story, and your lived reality. Whether you are tending old wounds, reclaiming vitality, or seeking a more authentic relationship with yourself and your body, this work supports the journey home—at its own pace, without pressure or expectation.
At Wise Body Counselling, my students and I offer Focusing-oriented therapy—a gentle, person-centered approach grounded in the understanding that each person carries an inner guide for healing and growth. Rather than fixing or forcing change, this work invites a return to listening—attuning to what is quietly calling for attention from within.
Beginning this work is a crossing of a threshold: a willingness to slow down, turn inward, and meet yourself with curiosity and care. You don’t need special language or prior knowledge—but it does ask courage: to examine your scripts and beliefs, and to notice how your body and your life experience may be pointing toward meaning, direction, and choice.
