Soul-based Somatic & IFS Therapy

Practical, trauma-informed support to help you feel steady in your body, clear in your mind, and aligned in your choices.

My goal is to help you...

Thrive with Compassion,
Confidence, and deeper SELF trust.

Hey, I see you!

You’ve been holding so much—trying to keep it all together, pushing through, maybe even wondering if things will ever really change. You don’t have to do this alone. If something in you is whispering that it’s time for support, I’m here.

I support clients in person at my cozy office in Paddler's Cove (next to Lake Banook, Dartmouth NS) or virtually across Canada and the globe.

Specializing in...

I help busy professionals untangle deep-seated patterns of anxiety, self-sacrifice, people pleasing tendencies, and emotional overwhelm so they can reconnect with their desires and take time back for themselves.

Through a blend of
Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Soul-Based Somatic Trauma Therapy, we gently uncover what’s keeping you stuck in these patterns while guiding you to create lasting change and a more genuine work/life balance... Meet Amanda

It's time for
Radical Self Love

You are not here to stay stuck in self-doubt, overwhelm, or the weight of past conditioning.  Reclaim your truth, trust yourself deeply, and step into a life that feels fully yours.

Healing isn’t about fixing what’s “wrong” with you—it’s about unburdening, reconnecting, and realigning with who you’ve always been beneath the layers of fear, guilt, and old patterns. When you release what no longer serves you, you make space for clarity, confidence, and a sense of ease in who you are.

You don’t have to figure it all out alone. This is YOUR space to breathe, explore, and step into the life that’s been calling you.  I believe you carry the wisdom.. I'm your guide to it.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

We all have inner parts—some that carry pain, fear, or shame, and others that try to protect us from those feelings. Instead of trying to "fix" or get rid of these parts, IFS helps you build a relationship with them, offering understanding and healing from the inside out.

Meditative posture focus

Soul-Based Somatic Trauma Healing 

A deep, body-centered healing approach that helps release trauma stored in the nervous system while reconnecting you to your inner wisdom. Trauma isn’t just a story in the mind—it lives in the body, shaping the way you think, feel, and respond to the world.

Over a cup of tea

  ReclaimYour Truth

You don’t have to keep carrying the weight of old conditioning, self-doubt, and emotional overwhelm.

Together, we’ll gently loosen the patterns that keep you stuck, honour what’s true for you now, and support your next steps with clarity, confidence, and alignment.
