See What People Are Saying

“our intent isn’t to feel better,

 but to get better at feeling.”

― Michael Brown, The Presence Process - A Journey Into Present Moment Awareness

MIND-BODY WELLNESS

with COMPASSIONATE INQUIRY

When we struggle with looping thoughts, self-judgement, anxiety, addiction and trauma the body

tells the story too. Its language is pain, a knot in the stomach, a lump in the throat, tension,

disconnection, depression … illness.

Let your body do the talking and discover what informs your inner critic, what motivates you to

sooth with food or drink, where are the behaviours triggered that don’t match with your authentic

self, what stops you from following that big dream or take that first step. Compassionate Inquiry

looks at what the body holds. Becoming aware of our triggers and drivers gives us a choice in how

we respond to life, the people and events around us.

Compassionate Inquiry (CI) is a an approach developed by Dr. Gabor Maté

combining talking therapy with body inquiry.

“The purpose of Compassionate Inquiry is to drill down to the core stories people tell themselves –

to get them to see what story they are telling themselves unconsciously; what those beliefs are,

where they came from; and guide them to the possibility of letting go of those stories, or letting go

of the hold those stories have on them …that’s what Compassionate Inquiry is.”

                                                                                                                                                                           Gabor Maté


What does CI session look like?

☼ Meet me in person or connect via Zoom for a one to one session.

☼ Each session focuses on a specific question, a behaviour that you observed, an event, … and is

tailored to your needs and goals.

☼ It lasts about an hour. First sessions 90minutes to allow for that first meeting, questions, your

reasons for coming, your aims and goals.

☼ We may begin with some breathing, a few minutes to arrive in session, tune in and understand

what it is you wish to talk about, what happened, where you’d like to be after the session.

☼ I will guide you through the inquiry with questions and space to feel, I may challenge your

narrative, interrupt your story, reframe what is being said.

☼ I commit to hold a space of safety and trust so that you can explore your emotions, feelings and

thoughts without judgment.

☼ We will discover the origins, beliefs and dynamics that cause you pain and develop ways to

reconnect with yourself.


What will I find out through CI? How will it help me?

☼ Cultivate to be present with yourself and compassionate with everything “that is”, breath by

breath, moment by moment.

☼ Listen to the language of your body, understand and satisfy your own needs.

☼ Become aware of self judgement and its origins.

☼ Relate to your emotions with compassion and mindfulness.

☼ Express what needs to be expressed.

☼ Create respons-ability for your life.

☼ Understand what stops you from living your creative potential.

☼ Discover the unconscious beliefs that limit you and transform them.

In order to participate in LIFT, clients must fill out an application form, giving us basic information about themselves. This is in order for us to cater to each individual’s needs and ensure each person receives the type of recovery supports they require. They will then be contacted by our intake worker who will process the application and conduct an assessment over the phone or Zoom. Once we have completed this step, they will be asked to sign an extra consent form and then be able to start as soon as we have an open spot available. We also offer the LIFT program at a reduced fee (maximum of 50% off) for those who are in need of financial assistance.


The LIFT program requires the use of technology and can be completed from home. This program involves the apps Email and Zoom (online video conferencing) to function. Clients must have access to the internet as well as a reliable device, which can be a phone, tablet or computer. Although, technical support and video tutorials are available, clients must have a reasonable comfort with these programs to access the course.


The online LIFT program consists of videos, focus questions, individual support, and Zoom meetings. We have 3 programs currently running. The Day program runs from Monday to Friday every week for 15 weeks. The Afternoon and Evening Programs run 3 times per week for 25 weeks. Each class, we will provide a video to watch, as well as focus questions to answer before attending the Zoom meeting. Clients must participate daily (aside from excused absences) in the Zoom meetings in order to receive a certificate for the course. The Zoom meetings are important for offering support, facilitating a community atmosphere, and allowing for class discussion. Students who are in need of coaching have the option to connect with someone who can give them a weekly support session.


Although this program is online, it is not anonymous. Clients are encouraged to use their full name and will be involved in video chats with other clients and staff.
