Breathwork invites buried emotions to gently rise and be felt with compassion. As the breath deepens, layers of sadness, fear, or anger can soften and release, creating space for peace and clarity. Each breath becomes a quiet act of courage—a way to feel, to heal, and to come home to yourself. Through this tender process, the heart lightens, the body relaxes, and a deep sense of emotional freedom begins to unfold.

On November 28, join experienced trauma informed breathwork facilitator for an evening of emotional release through breathwork.

$75 or included in unlimited monthly memberships.

Lets celebrate the mundane, the day to day, and the simple miracle of being alive. 💕

After more than 20 years in mental health, offering psilocybin-assisted therapy has been a true turning point in my practice. For clients who have struggled with treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, and trauma, this approach has opened a door that many didn’t know existed.

For years, I walked alongside people exhausted by medications that didn’t work or talk therapy that could only go so far. Psilocybin-assisted therapy has brought a new sense of hope and real change. Many describe finally feeling like themselves again.

At RVN Wellness, you can explore this work in several ways:

🍄 Microdose circles: November 21 and December 6

🍄 Walk Through the Forest group journey: November 22

🍄 Individual consultations and journeys: ongoing

Book a free 15-minute consultation at rvnwellness.com to explore whether this approach may be right for you.

Psilocybin-assisted therapy isn’t right for everyone, and we also offer evidence-based somatic therapies for healing.

RVN Wellness provides adult, kids, and teen yoga, counselling, and wellness workshops to the Port Moody, Coquitlam, and Tri-Cities community.

Tomorrow, November 11, Remembrance Day, our 10:45 am yoga class will be cancelled due to the parade.

As a second generation Canadian whose family survived World War Two, this day is always a moment of reflection for me. I think about the resilience carried through my lineage, including my grandmother who survived the camps (she was super bad ass and worked in the underground helping others escape) My grandfather was later featured in a book titled “Freedom Fighters” for his work during the war as an OG freedom fighter.

It feels fitting that freedom remains such a core value in my life and work today. Remembrance Day is an opportunity to honour the sacrifices made before us, and to reflect on what it means to live, act, and lead in alignment with that legacy.

Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu. May all beings be happy and free.

Choosing a therapist is never easy.

Where do you begin?

Start with connection. The connection you feel with your therapist is the most important part of the therapeutic relationship. A therapist can come highly recommended, but without connection, the work becomes much harder.

Other things to consider include the modalities they use, your insurance coverage, and the logistics such as location, timing, and whether they offer virtual or in-person sessions.

I am grateful for my education and experience, and for the fact that most benefit plans cover RSWs. If you think we may be a good fit, book a consult and find out.

And to the 232 people who have given me five-star reviews on the Sun Life portal, thank you for making me a top rated therapist on their platform.
