“Why does this keep happening to me?”

It’s a question many people carry.

Often, what keeps repeating isn’t random—
it’s familiar.

Something your system learned,
and is still holding onto.

Not as a flaw—
but as a way of staying safe.

There’s space to begin understanding what’s underneath.

Starting therapy can feel like a big step.

It’s normal to feel unsure, or to wonder where to begin.

You don’t need to have the right words, or a clear plan.

The process unfolds at your pace.

If you’ve been thinking about starting, begin here.

Dear gentle readers,

It would appear this author is setting aside her quill... in this department.

After more than a decade of building Aruma’s voice alongside my bestie (a tale of equal parts magic, mischief, and dozens of “wtf are we doing’s?”), I shall be stepping away from social media management.

No scandal. No fallout. No whispered intrigue.
Simply a most intentional shift.

What a privilege it has been to shape something people did not merely scroll past, but felt.

To bring each practitioner into clearer view, to build trust with those who needed it most, and to create a space that never once felt like noise.

That part, dear reader, I shall carry with me.

Aruma’s social presence now rests in the very capable hands of — fear not, they are more than úp to the task.

And before the rumour mill begins to churn... I am not going anywhere.

You will still find me exactly where I belong with Aruma-
in the room,
on the mat,
between breaths,
alongside you,
doing the work that matters most to me.

Should you wish to keep a closer eye on this author, you know where to find me →

Yours, forever anchored in gratitude,

Bobbi

Please help us in welcoming our newest team member 🥳🧡

Jessie (RN, Psychotherapist) brings an integrative and compassionate approach to therapy, shaped by her background in nursing and mental health care. With a strong understanding of the nervous system, stress physiology, physical health, and psychotropic medications, she supports clients through both the emotional and biological aspects of healing.

She has extensive experience working with individuals living with serious and persistent mental health challenges — including bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and concurrent disorders — as well as the families who support them.

Having navigated her own experiences with burnout and compassion fatigue, Jessie holds a special interest in supporting caregivers and professionals seeking reconnection and sustainable wellbeing.

Jessie also worked for four years as a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner, developing deep insight into the needs of survivors of intimate partner violence and sexual assault. She is committed to creating a trauma-informed, culturally safe, and 2SLGBTQI+ inclusive space where clients feel respected, supported, and secure.

Please help us in welcoming our newest team member 🥳🧡

Marli creates a gentle, compassionate space for teens and adults to explore healing from trauma, gender-based violence, and intimate partner violence.

She understands that trauma lives in both mind and body, and that real healing comes when we honor the wisdom of our nervous system and our lived experience.

As a Registered Psychotherapist and 500-hour yoga instructor, Marli weaves somatic practices, breathwork, and mindfulness with evidence-based therapies, including EMDR, Brainspotting, Somatic Experiencing, and Trauma-Focused Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Her approach invites clients to reconnect with their bodies, cultivate self-compassion, and rediscover a sense of agency and inner calm.

Marli is collaborative and client-centred, creating a safe environment where you can explore your experiences at your own pace.

Counselling for Children, Youth & Teens

Growing up today is not simple.

Children and teens carry more than we often see — school pressure, social stress, anxiety, big emotions, and changes at home.

Sometimes it shows up as worry.
Sometimes as withdrawal.
Sometimes as behaviour that feels hard to understand.

Jessie, Kelli, and Krista provide counselling for children, youth, and teens who need a neutral space to talk, process, and build skills to navigate what they’re facing.

Support may focus on:

• anxiety
• emotional regulation
• behaviour changes
• school stress
• family transitions

During different seasons of life, young people, at times, need someone outside the family to speak to — someone unbiased, consistent, and trained to listen.

We offer that space.

You can also schedule an appointment or send any inquiries there as well.
