Hi I'm Dea!
I am a registered Social Service Worker with the Ontario College of Social Worker & Social Service Workers. I am also a trauma therapist and mind–body practitioner specializing in women’s emotional healing, nervous system regulation, and generational trauma recovery.
​
For over 25 years, I’ve supported women in overcoming trauma, anxiety, identity wounds, and patterns of self-silencing. My approach blends evidence-based therapy with somatic healing, and nervous system work— helping women feel safe, empowered, and deeply connected to themselves.
​
My mission is to help you release what no longer serves you and reconnect with your authentic, confident, grounded self so you can live a life of joy and purpose.
My Story
My work began as a crisis counselor in a domestic violence shelter, where I witnessed the resilience of women and the limitations of talk therapy alone. This led me to explore the deeper layers of healing — the body, the nervous system, and the ancestral patterns that shape how women show up in the world.
​
My own experience with postpartum depression further opened the door to Yoga, somatic therapy, and holistic mind–body practices. These modalities transformed how I understood trauma and became the foundation of my therapeutic approach.

How I Support Women
​
I provide a safe, compassionate, and trauma-informed environment where women can:
​
-
Regulate their nervous system
-
Heal trauma stored in the body
-
Break free from generational patterns
-
Rebuild self-worth and emotional resilience
-
Reconnect with intuition and feminine wisdom
-
Develop healthier boundaries and relationships
​
My work is rooted in mind–body connection, somatic awareness, emotional safety, and the restoration of feminine power.
