Coastal Synergy

Coastal Synergy People don't need to be rescued or saved. They need the knowledge of their own power. I am Ojibway and Ukrainian descent. I am a mother, daughter, and sister.

I am a member of Batchewana First Nations of Ojibways in Bawatting (Sault Ste Marie, Ontario). My father attended Spanish Residential School in Spanish Ontario. I am Registered in both Ontario and British Columbia. I have been registered as an Registered Psychotherapist in Ontario since 2015 and registered as a Registered Clinical Counsellor in BC since 2021. I use a unique healing signature using

both Indigenous ways of knowing and as well as using the western modalities that navigate shifts that lead to change in behavioural, emotional, cognition, and psycho-spiritual changes. My style is very informal and feels like a conversation You are the expert in your own life, my role is to simply guide you where you want to go. I use a lot of humour in sessions as I really love to celebrate our humanness. I use somatic, mindfulness and cognitive interventions. I have extensive experience working in First Nations communities providing mental health, advocacy in Child welfare as well as working with incarcerated folks. I have flexible hours that allow current clients to access crisis sessions if needed. I spend a lot of the time hanging out in nature connecting to the nature spirits and wildcrafting and making medicines for friends and family. I do offer Nature Based Therapy if you live in the Lower Mainland in BC. I follow my 7 grandfather teachings of Love, Respect, Humility, Courage, Truth, Honesty and Wisdom. I look forward to hearing from you to see if we can make that connection to amazing changes. Miigwetch (thank you), Chantelle Syrette, RP, RCC

Camps are getting planned!!!

The number one question in my inbox right now…

“When does Summer Camp registration open?!?!”

I haven’t announced a date yet... and that’s intentional.

Our camps are something SO incredibly special, and every year we take time to reflect on what worked, what could be even better, and what new experiences we can bring to the kids. Next week’s Spring Break Adventure Camp is actually our testing ground for a few new ideas… and a few new team members as we explore expanding our summer programming.

One thing we do know for sure:

Choni’s Mundy Park Nature Therapy Camp is confirmed for July 13–17.

If you were at our Resilient Kids class yesterday, you got a little taste of her magic when she surprised us by co-facilitating the class. The kids had the BEST time.

We’ve also been thinking about our outings. Every year the kids ask for the big attractions: Aquarium, Science World, Capilano, etc. so we experimented with raising the price for spring break camp slightly to see if those bigger adventures are worth it.

But honestly… one of their all-time favourite outings is Lougheed Mall so I'm not sure if these bigger outings make sense. We’ve always tried to keep our adventures a mix of simple and special... things like bowling, Bloedel Conservatory, Fort Langley, and other local adventures where the kids can just explore and have fun together.

Right now there’s a lot happening behind the scenes as we shape this summer’s camps so they stay intentional, adventurous, and truly meaningful for the kids who come.

So while I wish I had a registration date to share today, there are still a few moving pieces to finalize first.

If you've got an idea for summer camp, I've got a question box up in my stories - drop your ideas there!

If you feel the absence of pain at time...one could say it could be happiness or joy.... for many accepting joy is just too way too triggering... like everything.... learn to accept micro moments of happiness.... micromoments of joy... the sip of the first coffee of the day.... when the sun hits your face....warmth of your bed... fresh pj's... life is made of micro-moments not full state of happiness... I used to think that was the goal... but i now see it as micromoments of it......
