Ease Your Nervous System.
Reclaim Your Power.
More Than Clinical.
This work is about finding your self beyond trauma. Each session is a safe, confidential, supportive, curated, individualized experience. A time and space to explore what’s holding you back from living your best life. A brave place to disclose trauma and release pain. Creative blocks disapear in the light of this work. Authentic communication and deeper listening skill will develop with time and devotion to your Self. Ask for your needs and trust that you are worthy of every single dream you've ever dreamt!
Whether you’re navigating trauma, emotional distress, grief, loss, addictions, creative blocks, we discover together what is keeping your light hidden, your goals trapped, lies thriving behind fear, addictions, depression and whatever else your mind is suffering from. You and I will discover, clarify and use the tools that serve you best.
"I never understood what "self love" meant. Mira showed me how. She really was my miracle." Sam V.
My Background
I bring to you over 30 years’ experience working on the front lines of Canadian social services: residential treament centres & indipendant living case worker, crisis intervention, sexual assault & suicide crisis lines, family reunification supervisor, critical incident debriefing counsellor, self defence instructor, addictions recovery treatment, eating disorder course instructor, domestic violence counselling.
Work With Me
Each session will be different. Some days you’ll need gentle listening or active theraputic modalites. Some days you'll want mentorship and support, others accountability, feedback and support to get clear on goals. There will be yet others when you want a metaphorical kick in the butt. I'm here for all of it. Those who sign up for a long term commitment will also have access to me via text and email between sessions. These are generally for long term project or solution oriented focused, conscious contact.
This is
deep, personalized, theraputic, heart-centred work. We will create ease, find the practices, disciplines and habits you need to make the changes you want. This is about learning to be devoted to your Self and unfold your gifts into the world.
What You’ll Gain
- Release and re-frame trauma
- Breakthrough experiences that change your brain
- Reconnect with your true nature
- Discover, honour and protect your boundaries
- Release addictions and live in presence
- Understand barriers to authentic communication
- Break through negative thinking patterns
- Strengthen active listening and presence
- Build your most powerful, personalized healing toolkit
My main theraputice modality is ACCELERATED RESOLUTION THERAPY which will be the foundation used to release core trauma. Then we will uncover your true nature and heal your body from the organic elements discovered together through elements of behaviour modification, trauma informed mindfullness practices to uncover pre programed beliefs which no longer serve you.
This is where you find freedom.

60 minutes
This is a welcoming space where we come together to explore your story, your needs, and the challenges you face. Here, you are truly seen and heard. Together, we co-create meaningful goals and uncover your deeper aspirations for healing, abundance, and freedom.
This session may also serve as a powerful opportunity to set intentions and bring awareness to the patterns and habits that may be contributing to your current distress so that we can discover how best to change what is contributing to your suffering and increase presence, pleasure and power.
From this place of understanding, we can thoughtfully plan for a longer, more focused healing session in the future, that may include the transformative process of Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART).
90 minutes
In this extended session, we will focus deeply on a powerful and transformative healing method known as Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). This approach is designed to gently release the unresolved patterns your brain has held onto—patterns that are still impacting your nervous system and contributing to your current distress. Through ART, we aim to unhook these old learnings and bring you relief, clarity, and a renewed sense of emotional freedom. It's a compassionate, focused journey toward lasting healing and personal empowerment. Often, this time frame is great for follow-up A.R.T.
120 minutes
This session is designed specifically for clients who are ready to engage in the powerful process of Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). It can be an ideal choice if you already have clarity about the specific issue or experience you wish to focus on in the session.
At the same time, this option can also offer the depth and spaciousness needed when working with more deeply rooted distress. Sometimes, we carry unresolved trauma, chronic pain, or residual effects from addiction that require greater care, compassion, and time. This session provides a safe and supportive environment to gently explore and transform the emotional and physical symptoms tied to those painful experiences.
With intention and collaboration, we work together to release and replace the negative somatic expressions of trauma. We move at your pace, always allowing room for integration, rest, and renewal—so you can leave feeling lighter, empowered, and supported in your healing journey.

WHY PEOPLE BELIEVE IN ME
JLS PSYCHOLOGIST
Mira's 20 + years of experience clearly show in her ART therapy. Her questions were insightful and reflected clinical experience and knowledge. I felt she could be there for me through anything that came up. She was genuinely caring and interested in my problems, goals, and how I was doing after treatment. I felt both her compassion and her competency.

I was afraid to face the memory, the pain. Mira felt safe instantly but after just a couple hours I felt safe with me! It was amazing. I'd forgotten who I was like the pain was all I had. But now I can hardly remember that pain. Im still surpirsed at how much I changed after only one ART session. I want more!
DANARD W
ORTHOBIONOMY PRACTITIONER
That was deep and profound! I was really emotional after my session, so relieved to have shifted that memory and there was alot of shifts! I am still integrating. Thank you Mira that has been a long, painful peice in my life.

There is something very rare about the way Mira gently dives into the darkest parts of my nightmare childhood then guided me through what my little kid has always needed. I useed to eat all my feelings and then hated myself. Working with Mira for only a few months now and I have totally stopped binge eating, feel good in my body, have a really functional way caring for myself and am living the life I never thought I deserved but now protect like a mama bear!
I LOVE YOU MIRA!

“Working with Mira changed everything. I thought after my wife died that I was totally f#*ked. The grief took everything from me. No one understood but Mira did. She woke me up. I got back the love of my wife in a new way. Mira understood grief in a way that not only makes sense, but is also total magic."
