Through methods like&nbsp;<strong>focusing, breathwork, and body scans<\/strong>, we can gently explore and release emotions that may be held in the body as physical tension or unease. Reconnecting body and mind in this way can be a powerful step toward healing and wholeness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-accent-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-accent-background-color has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-accent-2-color has-text-color has-link-color has-md-font-size wp-elements-c3c9d01324b3348659e659be7f9de035\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\"><strong>What to Expect<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"lighter wp-block-paragraph\">Our&nbsp;<strong>first session is \u00a320<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 a chance for you to see if I\u2019m the right counsellor for you. It\u2019s important that you feel safe, heard, and respected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"lighter wp-block-paragraph\">If we decide to work together, we\u2019ll move gently but purposefully. I will walk alongside you as you begin to look inward and uncover the deeper patterns, beliefs, and motivations that may be shaping your current experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"lighter wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\">Whether you\u2019re facing anxiety, loss, life transitions, or simply a sense that something isn\u2019t quite right \u2014 change is possible.
