"I’m deeply grateful to Emilie. She has made a profound difference in my life. I’ve worked personally and professionally with many therapists and facilitators, and Emilie’s commitment to peace, truth, and thriving is extraordinary and rare. She is deeply skillful, attuned, and present in sessions, and capable of gently and directly pointing to what’s challenging but necessary for growth. She helped me slow down and listen inwardly for the subtler messages of my heart. I trust her as a courageous, in integrity and highly competent therapist. If you’re ready to meet more of yourself with love and power, I highly recommend her." - Graham

Welcome,
If you landed here, something in you is calling for your attention. Some healing, a needed change, a place to slow down so you can hear your own wisdom, or some support as you take the next courageous steps on your journey.
The turtle came to me as a symbol for my healing practice many years ago when I lived in the lush jungle of Guatemala. It embodies ancient wisdom, slow and steady steps, deep grounding, being in flow with life, and the reminder that true safety is always found within.
My path into offering this work began with my own healing.
In my 20's, psychedelics opened me up to my healing and self-discovery journey. They supported me in moving through eating disorders, sexual trauma, profound grief, low self-esteem, body dysmorphia, depression, and addiction. That experience shaped the way I see healing, as learning to meet every part of ourselves with courage, radical honesty, and compassion.
Transformation is possible for all of us when we get curious about our inner world, stop running from our pain, and listen to what it is asking of us.
Since then, I have trained across many modalities and traditions. I have studied Eastern approaches in India and Nepal and learned within shamanic lineages in Peru. I weave together psychotherapy, somatic awareness, spirituality, and systemic healing into an approach that is grounded, soulful, and deeply intuitive.
Here in the Pacific Northwest, I live a fulfilling life of service and simplicity, in sync with the sea and mountains, with slow mornings, creative sessions, a nourishing community, and contemplative practices. I share a life with my wonderful husband and my spirited black cat, who found me in the Sacred Valley of Peru.
I work internationally on Zoom and in person in Vancouver, BC. If you are ready to live from a more embodied, connected, and authentic place, I would be honored to support your path.
