Holistic Psychotherapy, Reiki, & Yoga, Barrie
Hi, Im Effie!
I believe everyone has unique gifts and the capacity to heal.
I help people reconnect with their authentic selves and address the root causes of distress so they can create lives filled with peace, freedom, confidence, and meaning. My approach is holistic, collaborative, and trauma-informed, blending Western psychotherapy with mindfulness, hypnosis, yoga, spiritual coaching, and energy work for mind–body healing and soul awakening.

About My Holistic Approach to Healing

My commitment to helping others comes from my own healing journey. I experienced emotional turmoil in childhood and faced significant mental-health challenges. Amid the distress, there was a persistent inner voice that kept telling me that there was more to life than suffering, and it became the spark that led me toward healing.
That sense of hope guided me to explore psychotherapy, mindfulness, yoga, Reiki, hypnosis, and spirituality. I discovered that true healing occurs through the mind, body, and soul—and that transformation is possible for anyone. The very techniques that helped me transform are now the foundation of how I help others. Growth is a lifelong journey, and I am deeply committed to my own evolution and continually bringing the most effective tools and insights to support deep healing in others.
Since 2009, I’ve supported people healing from trauma, burnout, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and addiction. I have worked with a wide range of individuals and groups in a hospital setting, with physicians, in community programs, and at an addiction and trauma recovery centre. I've also been teaching yoga and meditation in various studios and privately since 2010. This experience gives me a broad understanding of both holistic and medical perspectives on mental health and wellness.
Every session is grounded in compassion and collaboration. We work at your pace, customizing techniques that resonate with you to support lasting growth and emotional resilience.
