Somatic Quest Counselling

Healing from the past self and moving to the present self

Let me introduce myself. My name is Shauna. As a counsellor and a mom of one, I know that children can trigger responses that seem out of place, and I am here to tell you that the responses are normal, even if they seem out of place. The sense of overwhelm, the never-ending to-do lists, and adding past experiences to that feels never-ending. I am here to tell you that you are not alone.

I have my own struggles as someone with multiple learning challenges, and navigating motherhood, especially in a time of so much uncertainty, is a challenge. I have navigated my own grief and losses, my own challenges, as well as my successes. You, too, can navigate your own challenges and find your own inner self-worth. Your challenges do not define you; you are perfect just the way you are, and you deserve to live the life you want, not what others want you to do.

Through the exploration of both past and present, we will navigate the stories that once protected you and are no longer serving you to create new stories and new ways of looking at yourself, your relationships, and you will have a deeper sense of who you are and what you want.

My services

Somatics

Together we will explore how your body communicates both danger and safety. We will notice body sensations. We will see if we can sit with the uncomfortable and see what that needs and nurture that with anything that you are called to do.

IFS

Internal Family Systems is a modality used to process trauma that has been isolated and stuck in time. The body gets explored in parts. This modality is not for every one and it can help with attachment wounds that happened in childhood.

Eco Therapy

If nature is where you find the deeper healing I am happy to join you. This is an in-person session done outside in nature. These sessions tend to be longer and thus cost more and there is something about a beach or the forest that can put clients at ease.

My space

I offer online therapy, so you can do therapy from the comfort of your own home.

Optionally, I can meet you out in nature as well.

Two hands, one hovering above another with palms facing each other.

Our partnership

It all begins with you as the client and me as your counsellor and establishing a therapeutic relationship. I know you are the expert in your own life and I am there to understand and make sense of your responses. Through the use of gentle techniques you can find your own freedom from the chains that have what once controlled you
