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.

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.

Introducing Newfoundland & Labrador’s First dedicated Trauma Healing Centre.

Grounded in neuroscience, this innovative centre offers a new approach to healing trauma at its root—where it lives in both the brain and body.

Through Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) and Somatic Experiencing (SE) clients are supported in gently processing the body’s natural responses to shock and trauma, without needing to talk excessively, relive or analyze past experiences.

By working with the nervous system and the brain’s innate survival responses, this approach promotes greater emotional regulation, resilience, and lasting transformation.

A modern, compassionate path to healing—designed for deep, sustainable change. 🧠

As an abuse survivor, I am heavily triggered by dishonest people. People who lie make me feel like they're bringing me back to the darkest days I ever endured.

Most people think lying is just annoying or disrespectful. But for you, it's visceral. When someone lies to you, even about small things, your entire nervous system activates. Because lying was the weapon your abuser used. They lied about what happened. They lied about their intentions. They gaslit you until you questioned your own reality. And dishonesty became synonymous with danger, with manipulation, with the kind of harm that almost destroyed you.

So when someone lies now, even if they're not your abuser, it takes you right back. To the feeling of not being able to trust anything anyone says. To the paranoia of constantly trying to figure out what's real. To the darkness of being manipulated and gaslit. People who've never experienced that can't understand why you have zero tolerance for dishonesty. But you know what lies cost. You know where they lead. And you're allowed to protect yourself from anyone who can't be honest, regardless of how small the lie seems. Your reaction isn't overblown. It's earned.

Our anger is so valid and needs to be validated and allowed. More especially as women we are taught to suppress our anger.

Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) helps people process anger by targeting the very early, subcortical moments of a threat response, allowing the body to release “stuck” shock and rage without becoming emotionally overwhelmed. Unlike traditional “top-down” therapies that focus on thoughts or stories, DBR works “bottom-up” to resolve the deep physiological tension—often in the neck, head, or face—that precedes conscious anger.
