Meet Cindy.
Cindy (she/her/elle) is a registered psychotherapist, a certified trauma-informed yoga teacher (E-RYT 500), a somatic coach, and an award-winning singer/songwriter. As a therapist, teacher, artist, and coach, she embraces how different every day and moment is and allows the flow direction to come from the here and now. Cindy holds calm strength, creating a safe space to explore in her client sessions. Her trauma-aware approach unfolds in each session with compassion and integrity. The journey is never linear, and it looks different for everyone; embracing individuality and the complexity of each person is essential.
Her Approach
Over the past ten years, she has been exploring the art of healing through various practices incorporating creative expression, somatic explorations and movement, and talk therapies, leading to an integrative, fluid, and unique approach to the person and the moment. Her life as a musician reflects her flexibility to be in the moment in each session.
And being a mom, she embodies the fundamental need for our attachments. Her practice is deeply anchored in the ability to pull from diverse modalities that allow her to walk alongside her clients as they move through what is present while also examining the experiences that led us here; to know where we want to go, we must first meet ourselves where we are and recognize where we came from. Cindy facilitates a healing space by bringing somatic work and psychotherapy together while honouring the here and now.
”It is easier to hold on than it is to let go; change is hard, even when it is exactly what you want and need.”
you are not broken
Your body responds precisely as it is designed to after it undergoes trauma, leading to symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and dissociation. The body tells the story without words, the emotions allow us to make meaning, and expressions give us access to logic and reason, leading to integration.
A fellow traveller
As a guide that walks by your side, Cindy is interested in practices of healing that are culturally appropriate to each person. Using a top-down and bottom-up approach, clients can explore diverse paths while integrating life experiences through the various modalities that resonate with them. The invitation is to lean in, listen, nurture, talk, sit in silence, explore, honour, and encourage curiosity for all that surfaces and/or remains veiled.
