The Healing Center-Transform Your Life

The Healing Center-Transform Your Life My training and bodywork practices include: Talk and Craniosacral Therapy, and Energy Healing including Reiki & Rahanni & Unity Field Healing.

As the only registered Social Worker in NL who is also a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, I specialize in alternate and complementary therapies for trauma, and shock, including the innovative, scientifically proven Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR). 🧠 I am a Clinical Therapist and Naturopath who combines the use of alternative and complimentary therapies and treatments to facilitate mind-body-spirit integration that enhances your ability to heal. Sessions can aid in the treatment, reduction and healing of a variety of conditions and symptoms including stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, deep grief and trauma as well as the metaphysical causes of physical illnesses, and chronic pain. I work intuitively and compassionately with you, to gently assist you in recognizing and eliminating fear, negativity, limiting mindsets, and unconscious patterns of self-defeating behaviors to expose all that which does not serve you and guide you into a life of peace, joy and happiness. My work centers on moving people away from 'thinking' into a connection to their own inner knowing and truth, creating trust, clarity, certainty and empowered action, allowing you to create the life you deserve, taking you from where you are to where you want to be and to be who you really are. Those who are willing to step up, to take responsibility and be accountable will be able to embody their healing, know their truth, develop clarity, know certainty and build confidence, self esteem, clarity, be empowered and transform their lives. I have over 30 years experience in the areas of social work, corrections, violence prevention, mental health, addictions, research, policy and program development, consulting and evaluation. Additionally I have extensive community involvement and have received several distinguished awards. I have my own dreams; seek new challenges, and use personal growth to develop ever evolving standards of excellence. My reputation, dynamic personality, and unique gifts, allow me to teach, motivate and inspire others to do the same. My work transpires ZOOM, the telephone and in person. Inbox me for more information, including distance sessions. "The wise invest time and money in their personal transformation rather than on things which are temporary and erode over time." ~ Stacy Kamala Waltman


My work is dedicated to the loving memory of my beloved grandmothers Mary Martin-Hynes and Josephine Hickey-Penney and my dear friend and mentor Rick Morris who guide me every day.

Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) is a trauma-focused therapy that treats the symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), complex trauma (C-PTSD), anxiety, depression, and other issues stemming from traumatic experiences. It works by addressing the brainstem’s physiological response to trauma, helping to reprocess memories and release physical and emotional blocks. This therapy is particularly effective for individuals who have struggled with traditional talk therapies, those with persistent symptoms, and conditions like chronic stress, attachment injuries, and grief.

“Crying is one of the highest devotional songs. One who knows crying, knows spiritual practice. If you can cry with a pure heart, nothing else compares to such a prayer. Crying includes all the principles of Yoga.”
― Kripalvanandji

It’s so odd (to me) that we are told from a very young age not to cry.
Suppression forms in the belly and causes all kinds of discomfort and dysfunctions - and trying to manufacture a facade of strength (the suck it up mentality) is detrimental, mind, body, and spirit.
Don’t be ashamed to shed those tears.
Cry when you need to.
Let it flow.
Naturally needed, we weep to heal.
It is not a vulnerability that happens in our tears; it is courage and a reset that forms - and it is our bodies way of ridding toxic information that has influenced our emotions.
We. Need. To. Cry.

Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) offers benefits such as reduced emotional reactivity, improved nervous system regulation, increased resilience, and a restored sense of safety.

It is particularly effective for individuals with trauma and PTSD by reorienting the brain's early, often unconscious, responses to stress and threat, which can also help with chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and emotional dysregulation.

By addressing trauma at the foundational level of the brainstem, it can help reduce emotional overwhelm and lead to significant healing.

Without any need to recount and talk at length about the traumatic event/s. 🧠♥️

As the only registered Clinical Social Worker in NL who is also a certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), I specialize in body-based alternate and complementary therapies that gently treat emotional pain, trauma, and shock, including the innovative, scientifically proven Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR).

DBR treats many symptoms that don’t shift - chronic tension, hypervigilance, sudden fear and panic responses even after extensive trauma work and talk therapy.

These symptoms often stem from something deeper - the brainstem’s initial shock response. DBR was developed from this neuroscience and offers a structured way to reach trauma at its physiological root. Little talking is needed to process trauma safely, gently and without further overwhelm.
