Rise Above Holistic Care

11/24/2025

Hi, I’m Krystal — a Registered Social Service Worker and Registered Therapeutic Counsellor Candidate in Alberta. I support women and moms who are navigating trauma, burnout, addiction recovery, anxiety, grief, and overwhelm.

I created Rise Above Holistic Care because I know what it’s like to rebuild your life after trauma, loss, and addiction. My approach is real, trauma-informed, and judgement-free. I blend counselling, somatic tools, nervous system education, and lived experience to help women feel safe, understood, and supported.

If you’re ready to heal, get curious about sobriety, or find yourself again, I’m here — and you don’t have to do it alone 🙏

You’re not “too sensitive.”
You’re not “overreacting.”
You’re not “broken.”

You’re a woman whose nervous system learned to survive things she should’ve never had to face.

Healing isn’t about fixing yourself — it’s about understanding yourself.

If you want counselling that feels safe, gentle, and trauma-informed… I’m here. 💚

11/23/2025

Your body remembers the things you try to forget.

Somatic healing is about learning to feel safe inside your own skin again — without pushing, forcing, or reliving the pain.

Slow healing is still healing.
Your nervous system deserves gentleness.

If you want somatic-informed counselling, message me anytime. 🌱

Recovery doesn’t start at rock bottom.
It starts the moment you get honest.
Honest about your patterns.
Honest about your pain.
Honest about what you truly want.

One small shift today can change everything.
If you’re sober-curious or walking your own recovery path, I’ve got space for you. 🤍

✨ What Trauma-Informed Counselling Looks Like at Rise Above Holistic Care

Trauma-informed counselling means you are supported in a way that feels safe, empowering, and deeply respectful of everything you’ve lived through.
I don’t push, force, or assume — I work with you at your pace.

Here’s what you can expect:

1. Safety First — Always

Your emotional and physical safety is the foundation.
Sessions are grounded in calm, compassion, and non-judgment.
You are always in control of what you share.

2. You Set the Pace

Trauma affects everyone differently.
I honour your nervous system and never rush your process.
You get to decide when, how, and what we explore.

3. Empowerment, Not Pressure

My role is to help you reconnect with your inner strength and self-trust.
I support you with tools that nurture your resilience, not overwhelm you.

4. Attachment-Aware & Nervous-System-Aware Support

I understand how trauma lives in the body.
We might use grounding, breathwork, somatic exercises, or gentle regulation tools to help you feel more present and safe.

5. Choice, Collaboration & Consent

You’re the expert of your own story.
I collaborate with you — checking in often, adjusting whenever needed, and making sure everything feels right for you.

6. No Shame. No Judgment. Ever.

Whether you’re healing from childhood trauma, relationships, addiction, anxiety, grief, or burnout — you’re met with compassion, curiosity, and validation.

7. Whole-Person Healing

We look at your emotional, physical, relational, and spiritual well-being.
Healing isn’t just about “talking” — it’s about integration, embodiment, and reclaiming your life.

💛 In Trauma-Informed Counselling with me, you are:

✔ Seen
✔ Heard
✔ Believed
✔ Supported
✔ Safe
✔ Empowered

You don’t have to heal alone.
If you’re ready for gentle, grounded, trauma-informed counselling, I’m here.
