My name is Maureen and I am a Hypnotherapist & EMDR Practitioner focused on Womens' Health Issues
My career helping others spans 20 years in holistic healthcare.
I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in Psychology from McGill University and I am a Professional Member Canadian Counselling & Psychotherapy Association. I studied under Richard Nongard, Clinical Psychologist and I am currently qualifying with the International Certification Board of Clinical Hypnotherapists. My services are recognized by most extended insurance plans under Clinical Counselling. Hypnotherapy and EMDR are my main modalities when working with my clients, mostly women, free themselves from limiting thoughts beliefs, or behaviors, and helping them become a "New You".
About Me
I genuinely care about my clients and rejoice is seeing the life changes they are able to make with my Counselling & Hypnotherapy sessions. Although I have a special focus on Women's Health issues, I also work with male adults and teenage boys and girls on issues that are known to respond well to Hypnotherapy.
And because I am not just a Counsellor and Hypnotherapist, but also a Holistic Practitioner, I understand that making life changes sometimes means taking into consideration your lifestyle, health choices, emotional, psychological, and even the spiritual aspect of your discomfort or dissatisfaction with some aspect of your life that you want to change.
And that is because I understand that the Mind-Body connection is not just a theory,
It is REAL!
Conditions that often start in the mind such as Anxiety, Depression, recurring Weight Gain, Performance Anxiety, Infertility, among others, can be helped by tapping into your own sub-conscious mind.
My work as a Hypnotherapist is based on a synthesis of my clinical understanding of how emotional or psychological thought disturbances can manifest in the body and in one's approach to life.
It is also based upon the insightful teachings of experts such as Dr. Gabor Maté and his understanding of how trauma can inform our lives today, as well as Dr. Richard Nongard's no nonsense approach to using Contextual Psychology to meet a client in the here and now, in order to use Hypnotherapy to address and overcome the problems they are facing today.
Hypnotherapy sessions can help and often give rapid results. Some of my clients have achieved the results they hoped for in as little as two to three sessions. There can also be a positive spill over effect whereby you might benefit from an overall sense of purpose and motivation in other aspects of your life as well.
At this time, many of my sessions are conducted online through a easy to use online platform that requires no software download. I also offer some availability for in person sessions. Receipts are issued under Counselling and are often reimbursed by your extended healthcare plan including major companies such as Canada Life, Sunlife, Manulife, and Blue Cross.
Clients have the option to book an Initial Counselling & Hypnotherapy Session prior to committing to a Personalized Hypnotherapy Program. A Program might consist of three or five subsequent weekly session and will be agreed upon during the Initial Session.
