Hello and welcome. It is my desire to create safe spaces for humans of all kinds to open and soften to their experiences. We hold so much from our upbringings and I deeply believe in the healing power of vulnerability, the strength in owning our choices, and the resilience of our spirits.

Wellness includes many facets of life that are interdependent. My passions include slowing it down, getting out of our heads and connecting to the body using somatic techniques, nervous system regulation so we develop the capacity to manage discomfort and change, emotional regulation tools, and mindfulness surrounding our thoughts and internal narratives.

Having come from a background with instability and chaos I understand the value of feeling safe, seen, and heard, and I aim to extend that to my clients as I walk alongside them in their journeys.

Do you struggle with connecting to your authentic self, or embodying your true essence? Are you experiencing challenges with relationships, boundaries, purpose, lack mentality, health issues, or feeling anxious and overwhelmed?

So many of us are experiencing unprecedented levels of dis-ease in our modern world. From emotional and physical imbalances, to financial and spiritual disconnection, our capacity to authentically live, work, parent and play is at an all-time low. I believe there is hope to create a new path for yourself- one that is defined on your own terms, not who you have been conditioned to be.

I offer a custom approach for my clients that starts with safe, compassionate awareness of your past energy and mindset, while exploring and creating a future of freedom and possibility. My passion is to support women and mother’s liberation through physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing.

Over the past 10 years I have dissolved boundaries, limitations and resistance to dissolve myriad developmental traumas and motherhood attachment wounds, autoimmune conditions, lifelong digestive issues and chronic insomnia.

With over 20 years practicing yoga, I bring 800+ hours training in Vijnana Yoga, hundreds more hours training in Hormone Yoga, Thyroid Yoga and Restorative Yoga, and 8 years in Kundalini Yoga- the yoga of awareness. Along with yogic technology, I offer a unique blend of feminine somatics and nervous system regulation, attachment theory, developmental, spiritual and energy psychology. My passion is to support the expansion of your mind/body/energy capacity and exponentially increase your peace and vitality. My work weaves in the human design and gene keys systems to bring a new depth of understanding to your true nature- how you relate to and impact yourself and others.

I believe that having more information is not what is going to create your success- it’s the embodiment of your passion, purpose and pleasure. I feel grateful to have the opportunity to serve you.

Born in Vancouver, Canada, Samantha always knew that she was here to help others. Sam pursued the entertainment industry for three decades of her working life. Starting out as a radio announcer/talk show host and moving into TV presenting made life exciting, but Sam wanted more from life. Ms Ferris embarked on a successful acting career, yet, the deeper need to help others was always there. That call eventually came in the form of her own personal challenge. Sam Ferris struggled with chronic pain for 20 years. She tried everything, saw everyone, and almost gave up hope. In her drive to truly understand chronic pain, Sam made some amazing discoveries about the truth behind 90% of chronic pain.

I am a second-year student in a Professional Counselling Program, and I am here to extend my support for you which will help continue my education in becoming a counsellor.

We live in a world that can seem so black and white which can often leave people feeling pulled in an unknown direction. I believe we forget to accept “the gray” which leads us to resistance, confusion and division (with ourselves and others).

I want to support the untwisting and unraveling the jumble your thoughts may be in. By taking a client-centered approach, I want to be alongside you while we explore the root of what your limiting beliefs are and to also get in touch and realign with what your values are. I believe that we can help pave a path to finally make that unknown direction known.

I very much believe that we can learn so much information about ourselves by tuning into the body and approaching therapy through a somatic and trauma-informed lens. I am also CBT, DBT and Narrative Therapy informed. And sometimes, all that’s needed is just an ear to really hear your story in a space that holds no judgment, which I would love to make available to you :)

I’m passionate about helping people reconnect with themselves and those they care about. Through Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and trauma-informed counselling, I work with individuals to heal emotional wounds, understand the patterns that run their relationships, and build emotional intelligence to foster real growth. In our sessions, I provide a safe, compassionate space where you can make sense of your experiences. Together, we’ll work on strengthening your connection with yourself and others, healing past hurts, and finding new ways to build resilience. My aim is to help you break free from old emotional patterns and experience deeper, more meaningful relationships. We’ve all experienced times where we get stuck in the same old relationship patterns—whether it’s avoiding difficult emotions, feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, or falling back on unhealthy coping strategies. Many of us were never taught how to navigate these feelings. By learning to identify and express your emotions, stay present in the moment, and break the cycle of those patterns, you can begin to create the change you want in your life. I’ll guide you through this process with a personalized approach, so you can not only manage your emotional challenges but also transform them into opportunities for growth.

My role involves holding an openness that is responsive to what’s needed in the moment. When what’s most needed is a technique from modern therapeutic modalities, I’m happy to offer that up. And…if what’s most useful in the moment is to throw out all those tools for something much more subtle - or much more unconventional - I’m happy to do that too. Maybe we sit quiet as ancient monks. Maybe we talk through how your last Ayahuasca journey or deep meditation cracked you open. The whole approach rests on a foundation of deep listening: going slow, really taking in what’s happening to and for you….letting it all settle in slowly like rain water soaking into rich fertile soil. Giving space for words, feelings, difficulties to come to ground…maybe even discovering some hidden sacredness in that. No hurry, no advice, no expectations.

Shaun works with teens and adults. He specializes in trauma, depression/anxiety, relationships, grief/loss, life transitions and work/life balance. Living on a boat access only island and building a cabin in the woods is what most men would call an amazing life. This is the reality he has created for himself. Although it wasn’t always the case; he grew up in a chaotic environment of abuse which causes many souls to settle or check out of life. He has come to realize his upbringing was a blessing in disguise, it caused him to be very introspective. That coupled with being a jiu jitsu practitioner and fitness enthusiast has taught him how to examine his own mind when placed under pressure. This has given him great insight into his clients mindsets and where they’re getting stuck, and in turn has provided understanding as to what methods and techniques work best in certain situations.

Welcome to Mace Mowbray’s Counseling Practice, where the journey to holistic well-being begins. Nestled at the intersection of authenticity, growth, curiosity, community, and self-efficacy, I believe in the transformative power of counseling guided by these core values.

Live with Authenticity: When working with me, authenticity isn’t just a buzzword; it’s the cornerstone of my approach. I believe in creating a safe space where individuals can explore their true selves, free from judgment or pretense. By embracing authenticity, we unlock the path to genuine self-awareness and fulfillment.

Strive for Growth: Life is a journey of continuous growth, and I am here to support you every step of the way. Whether you’re navigating personal challenges or seeking to unleash your full potential, our counseling sessions are designed to empower you to embrace change, cultivate resilience, and thrive in every aspect of your life.

Lead with Curiosity: Curiosity is the catalyst for exploration and understanding. I approach counseling with an open mind and a curious heart, committed to uncovering the underlying factors contributing to your experiences. By asking questions, exploring perspectives, and challenging assumptions, we illuminate new pathways for growth and healing.

Promote Community: Healing doesn’t happen in isolation; it’s nurtured within the embrace of community. My practice is dedicated to fostering a sense of belonging and connection, where individuals can share their stories, find support, and draw strength from collective experiences. Together, we create a community that celebrates diversity, empowers growth, and fosters authentic connections.

Encourage Self-efficacy: Empowerment lies at the heart of my counseling philosophy. We believe in the innate capacity of every individual to create positive change in their lives. Through compassionate guidance, practical tools, and personalized strategies, you will find empowerment to tap into your inner resources, overcome obstacles, and take meaningful steps towards your goals.

Spirituality in Healing: Spirituality is a guiding light on the path to healing, offering solace, meaning, and a deeper connection to self and others. My approach to counseling integrates spiritual principles, honoring the unique beliefs and practices of each individual. Whether you find meaning in mindfulness, meditation, prayer, or other spiritual traditions, I provide a supportive space for exploring the spiritual dimensions of your journey and harnessing its transformative power.

In my practice, I am committed to guiding you towards a life of authenticity, growth, and fulfillment. Together, let’s embark on a journey of self-discovery, healing, and empowerment.

It is important to me to acknowledge these lands as a part of my ongoing practice in decolonizing spaces, specifically in spaces where colonial practices have caused harm.

I have been working in the DTES for 3+ years as a harm reduction worker, and am familiar and comfortable around topics of abuse, trauma, addiction, and systemic racism and/or poverty. My approach to counselling is always trauma informed and client led. I use a variety of different modalities, but mainly pull from narrative approach where the problem is viewed as a problem, and that the client is not the problem.

I have always had a deep appreciation and curiosity for the complexities of human experiences and trust that everyone has a unique and important story to tell.

I believe that healing is relational. We aren’t meant to be shut off emotionally. As humans, we possess these innate capacities for feeling and it is our birthright to live deeply connected lives - connected to ourselves and to each other. When we suppress these aspects, we suppress our very nature.

You can expect a non-judgmental space where we work together to explore what is most meaningful to you.

My particular areas of interest include, but are not limited to: supporting individuals navigating grief, and loss, death and dying, trauma, and creating more purpose in life.

I look forward to meeting you!

Brooklyn’s life’s work is to empower healing from within.

Through intimate experience in loss manifesting in poor health and chronic nervous system dysregulation, Brooklyn’s passion emerged in the mind body connection. She holds a compassionate appreciation for the complexities of healing in a culture that separates the immune system from the emotional system and therefore views counselling as healthcare.

Brooklyn holds immense reverence and gratitude to whom she regards as her greatest teacher, Gabor Maté. Her open-minded healing journey was fostered through his guiding principles. It is her purpose & mission to embody his teachings and empower others to reclaim their authenticity, agency and connection to self.

In working with Brooklyn, you can expect an all-embracing theme of compassionate curiosity creating an environment that prioritizes safety above all. Brooklyn believes that when we feel safe, our bodies know what to do, through that safety we can unlock wisdom beyond our mind. Brooklyn is enthusiastic about the healing potential of exploring awareness, beliefs, attachment vs authenticity, coping mechanisms, and the ability to say no. She holds a passionate interest in the positive healing potential of turning towards gut issues, body pain & nervous system health in the counselling setting.

I support clients to slow down and mindfully explore the connection between their mind and body, thoughts and feelings, and to build curiosity, compassion and self-trust.
