Now Offering Five Elements (5E) Acupressure

As a psychotherapist of 20 years, I am proud to offer a psychotherapeutic somatic modality which addresses the mind-body-psyche connection.

(as of Aug. 25) I will only be accepting new clients as Five Elements Acupressure clients (with the option of psychotherapy/EMDR as needed).  Existing or returning clients can book counselling as needed until the end of 2025 and of course, Acupressure.

Why the change to 5E Acupressure?

Whether it is depression, anxiety, past abuse or trauma, patterns of dysfunctional behaviour, lack of direction or meaning, or headaches, rashes or edema, there is something deeper going on that is trying to get your attention. 

A combination of our innate disposition/personality and early childhood wounding sets the stage for dis-ease whether it shows up in childhood (e.g., asthma, anger) or in adulthood (e.g., fibromyalgia, GI issues, rashes). Call it holistic, body-mind-soul, bodymind, or psychoneuroimmunology our physiology changes when stressed leading to a cluster of physical-psychological-emotional-cognitive and spiritual/existential symptoms.

The roots of these symptoms are stored in (often) unconscious, right-brain ways – the memories, body symptoms, feelings, non-verbal cues, images, etc.  We need to tap into this body/emotion/imaginal part of us to heal!

So, how can we access this material?
