I am a Registered Social Worker (MSW, MEd) and offer support to my clients as both a Psychotherapist and Mind/Body Life Coach and Rested Path Guide. I combine two very different approaches and create a set of tools and ways of thinking that can catapult you way further than either of these approaches on their own. You may be wondering what the difference is between life coaching and psychotherapy and what exactly is a Rested Path Guide ? 

Psychotherapists support clients on an array of issues or problems that centre mostly around mental health concerns. You might be seeking out a psychotherapist if you’re struggling with depression, anxiety, burnout, PTSD, trauma recovery, chronic pain, divorce/separation, parenting, body image, women’s mental health concerns, a stressful life situation or the loss of a loved one. Psychotherapists have specialized training in a range of possible approaches. Some of the approaches that I have training and experience with are as follows: EMDR, DBR (Deep Brain Reorienting), Trauma Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, Cognitive Behavioural Science and Internal Family Systems Therapy.

Life Coaching is distinct in terms of the training, the regulation required and the needs of the client. Where Psychotherapy is generally working to support someone with concerns around mental health, life coaches are looking to support a client who is generally experiencing mental wellness and healthy cognitive and emotional functioning and wants to take their life, dreams and goals to the next level. I received my Life Coach Training from The Life Coach School. This training has enriched my life, and I’m so proud to be able to call myself a Professional Certified Coach with The Life Coach School.

Rested Path Guides have been trained in a Rested Path™ framework to help you create a rested life. This includes physical relaxation as well as other kinds of rest, like emotional, mental and spiritual rest. Rested Path Guides support you to find your rested power through IN-Body coaching, releasing ancestral exhaustion contracts, inner mothering, and more.

While there is definitely some overlap between the two approaches, it is very important to find out which service makes the most sense for you, depending on your situation and your needs. This is something I can help clarify during an initial get to know you call.
