Nourish Yourself

Glenda is a Registered Psychotherapist (CRPO) and a clinical member of the Ontario Society of Registered Psychotherapists.

Her approach combines contemplative psychotherapy with trauma-informed therapeutic yoga (more than postures!) and applied polyvagal theory to support clients and their stressed-out nervous systems.

She works with a variety of adults dealing with life challenges from trauma to grief, anxiety to depression, and dissatisfaction to despair. A common element is a desire to change their circumstances (situation, feelings, thoughts) and to live a more fulfilling life.

Our past influences our present, but our present directs our future. And in our present, we have a choice in how we respond.

We can learn how to retrain our nervous systems and our habitual responses and not be a slave to the past. “In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”

Change is difficult, and sometimes we need guidance/support along the journey.

The Wisdom of Our Bodies

Our Inner Sense of Self/Soul/Spirit/Higher Power/Daimon is grace/calm/peace. Then it is placed in the human body. Through our human experiences, we develop strategies to cope, adapt, and survive. And many of these strategies add layers and layers between our Self and the outer world to protect it from the harshness of life's challenges.

Often Self can be obscured from even our own knowing until the layers become unravelled. When our Mind and our Body and our Self come into alignment and we move in this world as one (even for moments at a time) - this is embodiment.

This is freedom.

Peace becomes the way.

Contemplative Wisdom

A contemplative approach to psychotherapy asks us to start to examine how we feel, what we notice, and what this means for us in the here and now. With additional psycho-dynamic and somatic-based techniques, the energy in our bodies is given space to be felt, moved, and released.

Can clients become the compassionate support that they need to heal their wounds and create a meaningful, happy and healthy life? 

Glenda’s approach is based on the core values of curiousity, compassion, calm, connection, and courage. She offers a non-judgmental, safe space to explore the deep caverns of your inner psyche so you can become aware of your patterns, heal from your past, and create sustainable change in your life in the present.

  • “Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.”
