About Me
I’m Amber - a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, Trauma-Informed, Certified Somatic Therapist.
I am a Facilitator of Transformational Healing Retreats, Courses, Circles & Ecstatic Dance Journeys, as a well as a certified Yoga Teacher. I have been holding space for people across the globe for the past 13 years.
I have been devoted daily to my healing, evolutionary journey since age 18 and continue to learn, heal and grow.
My specialty is Grief & Loss, Womb Work & Body Issues.
My clients describe me as grounded, calm, kind, attuned, empathetic, strong, inspiring, motivating, wise, playful, open-hearted and authentic.
My presence is like a warm blanket of safety and deep compassion for wherever my clients are at. I have held many people’s big traumas and have experienced how what feels heavy to carry on your own can feel lighter when processed and resolved with a professional.
After travelling the world and learning about many healing modalities, it was Somatic Therapy that had the most impactful effect on my life that integrated in the most profound ways that I want to share with clients.
My Personal Journey:
At a very young age I experienced death from my mother choosing to leave this world as a result of feeling like she didn’t belong and had her own unprocessed trauma of continuous rejection and abandonment.
This initiated me into therapy at a very young age. A yearning to connect with my mother led me into the path of spirituality as a child with a strong curiosity of what happens after death and how we can stay in touch with our passed on loved ones.
The passing of loved ones continued where I started to realize I needed more safe spaces and safe relationships to express these pent up feelings.
In my teenage years I experienced therapy that changed my life and this therapist opened the doors to a deeper level of loving myself, my unique experience and my wounded parts.
I continue to strive to be this for my clients - an inspiration, a motivator, a safe space to feel it all and process what was unbearable in the past.
Grief and Loss became a big part of my life and that is why I feel strongly to serve and support clients on their path holding such tenderness.
My body and specifically my female body parts have always spoke to me in painful ways - the trauma from my childhood that didn’t get processed remained tense in my body.
My womb has been a great teacher and more women are waking up to the power of the womb and all she holds.
A lot of times women suffer alone with the pain and trauma held in their womb, as I did for so long too. My mission is to be a companion for women to discover what their womb is communicating, needing and how to best support the womb.
