About Me

Holistic Healing is an approach to wellness that simultaneously
supports the physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual
well-being of the person as a whole.

Approaches

Embraces trauma-informed practice

We use a strengths-based framework grounded in an understanding of and responsiveness to the impact of trauma. We recognize the impact of trauma and the potential of healing for people who have experienced it.  Our approach is based on safety, trustworthiness, choice, collaboration, and empowerment.

Harm reduction philosophy

We embrace an approach that seeks to reduce the health and social harms associated with addiction and substance use, without necessarily requiring people to abstain. We recognize the inherent worth and dignity of all people, take a non-judgmental stance, respect diverse populations, the right to self-determination, advocate for social justice, and adopt a strengths perspective.

Advocacy

We provide support and advocacy to assist with removing barriers to wellness among marginalized clients and represent their causes.

Personal lived experience

We share personal experience and knowledge about the world gained through direct, first-hand experience and recovery.

Over the years I have been to a few different counsellors and Ive struggled to find the right one. With Christine I feel so comfortable and I don’t hesitate to open up and share anything that has or is happening in my life, She’s truly a genuine person and is by far the best counsellor I’ve ever had ! I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who is seeking out counselling!

Getting a life coach was one of the best decisions I could have made, Christine has taught me how to take control of my life and take the right paths to get to where I want to be. She is so easy to talk to and always makes me feel comfortable and heard. Thank you so much for being such an amazing support 🙂

Christine is providing me with super helpful guidance and advice as I enter my healing journey. She’s helping me recognize my weaknesses and strengths and is teaching me to advocate for myself. She goes above and beyond the scope of an average counsellor and I’m exceptionally grateful to have her on my team.

Christine is very pleasant to talk to. Left our first appointment feeling like I had known her forever. She can easily relate to a situation and leave you feeling comfortable. Would recommend her to anyone who needs to deal with something difficult.
