Trauma-Informed Somatic Therapy

A mind-body approach to release stress & support your nervous system

We all carry a unique narrative that has moulded our inner world and influenced how we navigate and interact with the outer world. It's a personal story that shapes who we are. Often, trauma and pain are also part of that story. These events can profoundly imprint our brain, body, and nervous system, inevitably leading us to find our own strategies to manage the pain, suffering, and accompanying symptoms, which can manifest as mental health challenges or even addiction.

We are all human, and sometimes, we need support.

I'm a holistic somatic therapist who weaves my lived experience into a holistic, humanistic, and individualized approach to relating and empathizing. A session with me is a corner of the world where I will be honest, compassionate and non-judgemental in supporting you to get back on track. I would be honoured to walk alongside you on your personalized healing journey. My intention is to offer a space that welcomes the messiness of being a human as you navigate your path toward recovery and renewal.

Does your story include any of the following:

  • Chronic stress

  • Relationship issues

  • Difficulty breaking free from addictive behaviours

  • Struggling through life following a distressing and/or traumatic event

  • Anxious or depressed and feeling stuck

  • Sleep issues

  • General overwhelm with life

  • Feeling exhausted

  • Experiencing burnout

  • Difficult managing life stressors

  • Chronic pain

  • And more. . .

  • “It is hard to imagine the scope of an individual life without envisioning some kind of trauma, and it is hard for most people to know what to do about it.”

Founder of
Wild Journey Recovery

Hi, my name is Theresa, and I am the founder of Wild Journey Recovery. Thank you for being here; I want to acknowledge the courage it takes to search for support, especially if your world feels dark. I have been there myself.

And I came out on the other side.

I am human first.

A Mental Health Therapist second.

My professional philosophy is grounded in the idea that I am not an expert in your life and instead can assist you in reconnecting with a vital part of you that you may have lost touch with.

I strive to support those who have endured any form of trauma which has led to mental health disorders and addiction.

Areas of Specialty

My area of focus is working with adults who are seeking support from addiction, both in active addiction or recovery, concurrent mental health disorders, burnout, and adults seeking relief from stress and trauma symptoms. I offer one-to-one private therapy sessions. At this time I do not work with children or adolescents.
