Bringing 20 years’ experience in trauma and conflict transformation, I offer EFT therapy, restorative justice facilitation, and trainings in trauma, restorative justice and AVP.
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) “Tapping” Therapy
Release
- Trauma: PTSD, car accidents, painful memories, abuse, bullying, loss
- Stress: at home, at work, physical / emotional, short term / chronic
- Anxiety: fears, phobias, school / math anxiety
- Physical aches and pains & digestive issues, sleep issues
- Strong emotions: anger, jealousy, fear, grief
- Tension in relationships: at work, at home

Research shows EFT is significantly more efficient at reducing trauma,
depression and anxiety than talk therapy. EFT addresses the emotional
component of the problem, releasing stress and trauma from the body,
and unblocking the body’s natural healing capacity.
Restore well-being.

Restorative Justice Facilitation
Community Conferencing: bring together those affected by an offence to discuss what happened, who was affected and how, and discern who needs to do what to make things as right as possible. Restore justice.
Peace Circles: whether used for community building, reconnecting to our deepest values, or for addressing harm, allow each person to speak their truth while all listen. Restore wisdom and peace.
