Our Story

The journey to establish Soma House Counselling & Wellness began from a deeply personal place. As a lifelong resident of Nanaimo, I have witnessed the profound impact of holistic approaches in my own life. After experiencing the emotional turmoil that life can present, I turned to holistic practices that emphasized body, mind, and spirit connectivity. Determined to share this powerful guidance, I enrolled in counseling programs that integrated various therapeutic techniques. My passion drives me to create a space where others can explore their thoughts and feelings without judgment. From the very first client who walked through those doors to the many who have shared their battles and triumphs, each interaction fuels my dedication to fostering mental wellness. I believe that wellness is not just the absence of distress; it is vibrant, fulfilling, and deeply individual. In establishing Soma House, I've envisioned a haven that resonates with my community, a place where healing can be found amidst everyday life's chaos.
