Awaken Curiosity:
​
A different way into meaning—led by inner knowing, not striving
Each of us carries inner stories shaped by our caregivers and our earliest efforts to stay safe, loved, and connected. These stories once served us, but over time they can also confine us, narrowing how we move through the world and relate to ourselves and others. When we begin to 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.
​
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 of us courage to examine our scripts & beliefs and maybe even follow the subtle signals of your body as they reveal meaning, direction, and choice.​​​​
​​​
I have a deep appreciation for 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, but expressions of deeper archetypal ways of surviving, loving, protecting, and belonging—shaped by family, culture, ancestry, and history. What once helped you survive may now be ready to transform, releasing old roles and opening new ways of being.
​
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 people, sexuality has been shaped by trauma, loss, or experiences that led to bracing or disconnection. In this work, sexuality is never a requirement or a focus unless and until you choose it; it can be approached gently, when you feel ready.
​
Whatever brings you here, our commitment is to walk alongside you with respect for your agency and trust in your inner wisdom. 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.
