Hi, I’m Emily.

I help people get close to themselves.

Counsellor in training, poet, movement researcher and facilitator, living on the coast of British Columbia.

If life isn’t going as planned, as wanted, or as needed, you’re in good company here.

If you keep acting in ways you wish you could change, and beating yourself up for it, let’s talk. There are ways to meet life’s difficulties with grace and gentleness, and come out the other side having your own back: a wider, wiser, more empowered human because of it.

Three ways to work together

Connect

Counselling

One-to-one, couples and family counselling, in person in Campbell River or online, through Resonance Counselling.

Move

Movement and groups

Contact improvisation, somatic practice and the “Being With...” gatherings: learning to be with our emotions, and with each other.

Create

Poetry

Poems composed on the spot on a vintage typewriter, for weddings, festivals and gatherings. A small gift your guests take home.

Do you want to relate in ways that feel true to who you are now, not who you had to be in the past?

Peace

In the morning when
you notice your breath
take it in, all the way
welcome yourself
to this precious moment
of you.
Walk forward, with ease,
on your strong legs,
thanking your body for
the gift it is. Taking
you, to beautiful places,
a calm heart, celebrating
the simple, the new,
the relaxing waters
and sturdy mountains.
Look at all that is well,
it’s you.

When we can catch the truth our body is speaking to us, we allow ourselves to relax.
