Hey there! I’m so glad you’ve stopped by. My journey into holistic healing started from a very personal place. Like many, I faced my own battles with severe anxiety, depression, chronic digestive issues, skin problems, and insomnia. On top of that, I’ve navigated the complexities of CPTSD and PTSD. I tried countless natural remedies, but often found myself stuck in cycles of temporary relief, feeling frustrated and lost.

Everything changed when my son went through a month-long hospitalization due to medical errors that nearly cost him his life. That experience was nothing short of terrifying and opened my eyes to the serious gaps in care within some hospitals. It made me realize how crucial it is to be proactive about our health—always ask questions, do our research, and seek out the answers that truly matter.

This wake-up call led me to leave my corporate job and dive headfirst into the world of holistic health. Today, I’m proud to say that I am:

• Currently pursuing accreditation to become a Registered Professional Counsellor

• A Registered Holistic Nutritionist

• A Certified Integrative Somatic Practitioner

  • Certified in somatic EMDR therapy, polyvagal theory, advanced vagal toning, attachment theory, and neuroaffective touch

• A Certified Life Skills Coach,

• A Certified Trauma-Informed Coach

• A Certified Soul Coach

Through my studies and personal experiences, I’ve come to understand that many physical health issues are deeply intertwined with unresolved trauma stored in our bodies. This insight shapes my approach, blending targeted nutrition with somatic practices to support both physical and emotional healing.

I believe in a client-centred practice, where we work together to:

• Uncover the root causes of your discomfort

• Develop personalized care plans that harmonize mind, body, and spirit

• Implement practical tools for nervous system regulation

• Create sustainable patterns for long-term well-being

I have a special focus on working with individuals experiencing PTSD and CPTSD. I know how sensitive trauma work can be, and my ongoing education in counselling and trauma-informed somatic therapy equips me to provide the comprehensive support you deserve.

At The Vagus Effect, I firmly believe that true healing is possible for all of us. If you’re ready to break free from what holds you back and embark on a journey toward wellness, I’m excited to join you on this journey. Together, we’ll uncover the path to a more vibrant you!
