Hi, I’m Kandy. Growing up in the beautiful landscapes of Chilliwack and Penticton, BC, I’ve always had a deep connection to nature. The mountains, lakes, and forests have a way of grounding me, reminding me of the profound healing that comes from simply being present in the world. I’ve learned that connecting with nature can help soothe the soul and provide clarity during life’s most challenging moments. Over the years, I’ve also come to deeply value the power of human connection – how it shapes our resilience, growth, and the importance of showing up for one another, no matter the circumstance.
Outside of my professional life, I live in the Okanagan with my partner and two children. I love spending time outdoors—hiking, motorcycle riding, and snowboarding are some of my favorite ways to stay active. I also enjoy paddle boarding, golfing, softball, and horseback riding. Alongside these activities, I am passionate about volunteering with JCI Canada to help strengthen and uplift my community.
My journey into counseling has been deeply personal. I have first-hand experience with PTSD and anxiety, which has fueled my desire to help others heal and find freedom. These experiences have shaped my approach to counseling, giving me a compassionate and understanding perspective on the challenges people face. My own healing journey inspired me to pursue this path, with the goal of helping others rediscover their passion for life and step into their full potential. Professionally, I am a trained doula, care aid, nursing unit clerk. I am also furthering my education to become a Practical nurse and am currently in training. This education has contributed to providing me with a well-rounded understanding of physical, emotional, and mental well-being.
I am currently studying to become trained in EMDR,Somatic Release Therapy, Hypnotherapy, Art therapy, Death Doula and sound healing, which will allow me to offer even more holistic support to my clients. I also hold certifications in TFT, EFT, Reiki, NLP, and Virtual Reality exposure therapy, all of which allow me to provide a comprehensive approach to healing. My areas of focus include; Anxiety Depression PTSD Phobias Trauma Children In addition to my counseling work, I run a successful medical aesthetics school, blending my entrepreneurial spirit with my passion for wellness. If you’re looking for a compassionate, trauma-informed guide to help you navigate your healing journey, I would be honored to walk alongside you as you rediscover your inner strength, freedom, and passion for life.
