With 30 years in the field of health care and wellbeing, I am grateful to witness daily how our whole body can heal and thrive again. My intention is to offer you a trauma-informed and culturally sensitive space where I can witness your unique lived experience with compassion, humility, and respect. Your safety and trust are built patiently with choices, collaboration, and curiosity, with your physical, emotional, mental, cultural, and spiritual health honoured. I offer you 2 distinct types of “somatic” or body-oriented therapy: CARE- Stress and Trauma-Informed Massage Therapy and Somatic Experiencing Trauma Therapy. Each invites you to a welcoming, safe, and compassionate space where you can slow your mind, feel your body, and connect with its resilience and wisdom. You are encouraged to listen to your body’s unique cues and recognize how that awareness plays an integral role in your health and wellbeing. I weave together the teachings of wise body-centred traditions with the expanding field of neuroscience to bring an integrated, whole-body approach to learning, healing, and being in connection with our body. In practice, and in the community, I am a passionate advocate for supporting the voice, choice and healing of children, and adults who have been impacted by sexual violence, abuse, and trauma. Growing and healing in relationship with Indigenous Peoples is important and meaningful both for me both personally and professionally. I am committed to supporting the wellbeing, and care of all people with outward action that reflects the values I hold inside. Lastly, I celebrate the wise teacher and healer alive in all of us! Thank you for your presence, and the unique gift your offer. Together, we care and heal as a community. **BOOKING APPOINTMENTS & QUESTIONS:** **[email protected] or elisapeterson.janeappcom/** **WEBSITE:** **elisapeterson.ca**
