Welcome here!
My name is Mikayla Lanoie.
I’m a S*x Therapist, Counsellor and owner of Resilience Health and Wellness, a Manitoba-based psychotherapy private practice - and I am currently accepting new clients!
Having always been driven to support people when choosing to improve upon themselves, I completed my Bachelor of Kinesiology in 2018 and am still a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, Certified Group Fitness Instructor and Registered Yoga Teacher.
After a year of working in the fitness industry and realizing that my favourite part of my job was less about exercise and more about helping my clients overcome their struggles, I completed my Masters of Arts in Counselling Psychology. My background in human movement and biology and my interest in s*x and relationships drove me to pursue a post-graduate specialization in s*x therapy.
I believe that health is not just the absence of disease. It's a multidimensional state of physical, mental, social and spiritual well-being. I meet clients where they are, with unconditional positive regard, and help them navigate possible solutions for obstacles they may encounter in their lives. Working collaboratively from a strengths-based perspective, I want to support clients in building upon their pre-existing skills and knowledge of themselves to improve their self-awareness and overall well-being. Every person who steps foot in my office is unique, and that’s why I use an integrative approach to best meet my client’s individual needs.
My lived experience as a neurodivergent, q***r, polyamorous ciswoman has given me an understanding of intersectional oppression and vulnerability. I know the feelings associated with not ‘fitting in’ with society’s messages about what is ‘normal.’ This has motivated me to work with my clients from an anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, and s*x-positive (including kink-friendly and s*x worker allied) framework. I value authentic connection with my clients and believe it is an honour to support them throughout their journey.
