Hi, I’m Richelle.

I am a compassionate advocate for the power of embodiment practices, guiding individuals on their journey to reconnect with their innate possibilities and well-being. My approach is rooted in a body-oriented perspective, focused on restoring the nervous system from the effects of trauma, chronic pain, and stress, while helping clients build a more conscious, trusting relationship with their bodies.

My personal lived experiences include being raised by a single mom, lived below the poverty line, witness to domestic violence, parental addiction, the sudden death of both of my parents and a personal near death experience. I have lived through debilitating anxiety, depression, and grief, often feeling disconnected from my body. It was through yoga and other mind-body practices that I began healing from the effects of my past. My personal journey has deeply shaped the work I do today. I feel truly honored to use my lived experiences, training, and passion to help others.

As a Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner and IAYT Certified Yoga Therapist, I offer personalized one-on-one sessions both in-person and online. I am also a part of the teaching faculty for the Foundations of Yoga Therapy program at Vancouver School of Healing Arts and have had the privilege of running an integrated Chronic Pain Program through Squamish Helping Hands Society and facilitated pain support groups through Pain BC.

No matter what happens in our lives, may we find the paths that bring us back home to ourselves and each other.

I look forward to connecting with you.
