Are you looking for an intentional container that cultivates awareness throughout the session to support getting to the roots of personal patterns are to support change? In sessions together, Asha will walk beside you, offering compassion, deep inquiry and somatic attunement.
Sessions together will have a trauma informed approach, through primarily focused therapy modalities of Somatic, CBT, DBT, Narrative, Gestalt, Family Systems, Spiritual, Feminist & Person Focused Therapy.
The aim of counselling is the holistically look at and support to the four pillars of wellness: mental, emotional, physical and spiritual.
Through looking at the patterns and stories playing out through each of these pillars of wellness, we can pain a picture together of any knots to tease out and find more fluidity and freedom to create more of a flow of life energy.
Our first few sessions will begin with a psychosocial assessment that gathers information from personal and family history to support us in our sessions to find patterns.
Ancestral stories & cultural mythos also play an important aspect into our feeling world to be considered as part of what builds our ship to begin our voyage together.
Each session will be unique to an individuals needs. In our session, there could be customized meditation practices either in session or to bring home, as well as options to introduce a gentle yet powerful meditation called Breathwave, a Conscious Connective Breathwork meditation that brings full respiratory breathing and repatterning, possible emotional release and gaining of clarity from within.
This supports to dive deeper into the style of breathing pattern that play out in the body when sensation arises, and an access point to move more layers of emotion/tension & trauma from the body in a way that gets out of the mental stories and right to the heart of the matter. This is a safe and effective method to get right into the truth of what’s going on in the subconscious. The way we breathe can be the greatest teacher and healer for us.

I offer sessions through zoom and also in person if you are in the Cowichan Valley.
