I had experienced traditional talk therapy before, and while it was supportive in some ways, it felt like something was missing when it came to true integration. I now recognize that what was missing was an embodied approach to healing—one that addressed not just the mind, but the body’s role in holding and processing trauma.

That same day, I registered to audition for the only DMT program in Canada and began my journey into the field of somatic and integrative psychotherapy.
