Somatic therapy
Psychedelic integration
Welcome

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and genuine. I balance my knowledge of theory and trauma informed applications with a non-judgemental and supportive environment to support your goals and intentions. For the past ten years, my journey as a registered art therapist has been about supporting clients recovering from trauma, relationship challenges and adverse childhood experiences (ACE).

I have extensive experience working with and supporting individuals recovering and healing from trauma. I offer psychedelic integration support and services to assist individuals and diverse communities. I am also proficient in both English and French.

Testimonials

'I highly recommend Nathalia. She rebalanced my energy and the pain I had in my low back was greatly reduced in only one session. She also addressed insomnia and I slept like a baby. The Jin Shin Jyusu modality feels very subtle and I found it to be very effective.'

- Joe, Colorado

'From the moment I laid on her table I could feel my nervous system settle. Nathalia had created a safe, calming, therapeutic space that translated beautifully into her treatment. Having had many body work experiences, I can honestly say that Nathalia has something special. Though her extensive training is evident from the outset, her intuition added a depth to my treatment that truly impressed me. I am still enjoying the benefits from our sessions and I look forward to the next one!

-Danielle, Victoria

'I recently worked with Nathalia and experienced tremendous healing.  Nathalia is both gentle and powerful in the way she offers her healing.  I could feel palpable energy shifting in my body.  Even with just one session I felt a shift in my mental and physical well being.  I look foreword to our next session.'

- Akano, California

"When I saw Nathalia, I was recovering from a serious Covid infection and simultaneously having a nervous breakdown. It felt like my world, and my nervous system were crashing down around me.

Within one treatment, I felt like I had more peace and energy than I had felt in weeks. It was profound, and I highly recommend her to anyone needing healing and recovery."

– Fae, Comox Valley

"My session with Nathalia was wonderful. It was calming on a very deep level, I felt like my nervous system was somehow rewiring – it was subtle, but also powerful. When I received the session I was going through a lot of transformation and emotional upheaval, so this deep state of relaxation gave me a chance to process everything on a neurological level, and to somehow “catch up” with all of the new wiring that was happening during this period of my life. I highly recommend her sessions." – Ananda, Mexico
