Introducing Jill Stewart and Reiki Services

Psychological well-being can be achieved through a variety of paths and practices. We are excited to introduce Reiki to our wellness centre as a complementary treatment to other evidence-based practices.

Reiki is a Japanese energy healing technique that has been associated with reduction in anxiety, depression, and stress. Benefits have also been seen in improved emotional regulation. Whether you are looking for deep relaxation or interested in learning more about your energy fields, Jill is here to help! If you would like to book a treatment with Jill, give us a call or email us at info@hobsonpsychology.com

I’ve spent most of my life in Saint John and its surrounding areas, except for five years living in Grand Manan. My family is small, and we share a close bond, especially since my mother was diagnosed with both Dementia and Alzheimer’s three years ago. This has made spending quality time together an even greater priority for us. As a proud mother of a 20-year-old daughter, I recently entered the ‘Empty Nester’ phase.

This change has given me the freedom to follow my passion for Reiki. I became certified as a Reiki Practitioner in 2017 and have practiced mainly for family, friends, and their acquaintances through word of mouth referrals. While Reiki started as a hobby, I have always hoped to turn it into a clinical career. Now, that dream is coming true as I join the Hobson Psychology & Wellness Centre to offer Reiki to the community.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my sister, who’s also my best friend, catching up with friends, or simply relaxing at home with my pets. My interests include belly dancing, photography, especially nature and architecture, and knitting during the colder months. I enjoy exploring arts and crafts, whenever I can.

Today we take a moment to wish a happy Women's Day to all the amazing women out there!

This International Women’s Day, we honour women past and present who continue to shape and advance the field of psychology.

We celebrate trailblazers like Virginia Douglas, whose groundbreaking work helped advance the scientific understanding of attention and child development, and paved the way for generations of women in psychology.

We have some more exciting news! We are thrilled to welcome Cliff Turner, LCT-C, to the family! He brings a wealth of diverse life experience and skills to his practice. Cliff has openings beginning November 24. If you are interested in working with Cliff, please give us a call to book.

About Cliff Turner, LCT-C
I take a person-centered approach to therapy, helping clients recognize their strengths and move toward the life they envision—one that feels grounded, balanced, and fulfilling. I work with individuals, couples, and families, drawing from cognitive behavioural, narrative, and emotion-focused therapies to support people as they manage stress, navigate transitions, and strengthen relationships.

With over 25 years of teaching experience, I bring patience, curiosity, and a deep respect for each person’s unique journey. I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Toronto and a Bachelor of Education from the University of New Brunswick in addition to a Masters in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. I am registered with the CCTNB.

Alongside my counselling work, I’m a visual artist and professional painter, and a martial artist of more than 30 years—both practices that connect me to the balance between creativity, mindfulness, and emotional well-being.

I offer sessions in person, online, or by phone, and aim to provide a space where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered to grow.

Most of know someone who has struggled with thoughts of su***de. It is important to break the stigma associated with this topic and understand these thoughts are not uncommon when dealing with psychological distress. One thing each of us can practice is offering support without judgement.

On September 10th, Médecins NB Docs recognizes World Su***de Prevention Day. Today serves as an important reminder of the need to prioritize mental health, to take time for self-care, and to show compassion and support to those around us. Every conversation, every moment of listening, and every act of kindness can make a difference in someone’s life.
