Who am I?
Hi! My name is Deanna. I’m here to witness your tears, emotions, fears, worry, heartbreak and profound grief. I am ready to assist you in transmuting those emotions into empowerment and peace. I often attract clients who are ready to transcend into their authentic selves to find their empowered creator cause in life. I frequently work with people who identify as Highly Sensitive People (HSPs), Empaths, Artists or Creatives. I recognize that there are diverse ways we experience the world and that we don’t all perceive reality the same way. You are safe to tell me how you experience yours.
Credentials:
BFA, BED, MIDST, RTC
I am a graduate of the Counselling Skills Program from the Orca Institute in British Columbia and a member of the Association of Cooperative Counselling Therapists of Canada (ACCT) and the Association of Counselling Therapists of Alberta (ACTA). This allows me to work as a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC).
I have an extensive background and training in Hypnotherapy that started back in 2017 when I completed the National Guild of Hypnotherapists (NGH) training and Michael Newton’s Metaphysical and Energy Releasement Hypnosis. Currently, I am finishing up the Counselling Hypnotherapy Program at the Orca Institute in British Columbia, which focuses on the indirect methods of Dr. Milton Hyland Erickson.
I’ve worked as a professional artist since 2005 when I completed my Bachelor of Fine Arts at Mount Allison University but, always knew my path involved using the arts, visions and creativity in therapeutic settings. In 2008, I completed a Bachelor of Education in Art and Music Education and still visit schools part-time to lead students in Mindful Guided Art. In 2019 I completed a Master of Interdisciplinary Studies from the University of New Brunswick (Psychology and Fine Art) where I delivered my thesis titled “Connecting Crossmodal Interactions in Visual Music to Create ‘Mindful’ Experiences.”
