Havening KW, Holistic Therapy
A holistic approach to healing that integrates body, mind, and spirit in Kitchener and Waterloo
A holistic approach to therapy
Are you looking for a holistic approach to healing that focuses on the body, mind, and spirit? As a practitioner of somatic and psychosensory healing, I have seen firsthand how this approach can effectively address post-traumatic and complex post-traumatic stress symptoms, symptoms related to anxiety, depression, stress, emotional disturbances, phobias, grief, and more.
Spiritually integrated healing
My somatic training is also influenced by my psychospiritual approach to healing, which views individuals holistically, integrating the body, mind, and spirit. I believe that feeling safe and secure in our bodies is essential to spiritual and psychological growth. However you define that for yourself!
A somatic approach to healing & growth
The body is a profound source of healing and growth. Challenging emotions and triggers can be stored in the body during traumatic experiences which we could not process effectively at the time. Together, we can work with somatic therapy to release challenging memories, emotions, beliefs, and experiences.
About Mandy Brouse
I have my BA (Hons) in Sexuality, Marriage and Family Studies at the University of Waterloo and am currently an MA candidate in the Spiritual Care and Psychotherapy program at Wilfrid Laurier University.
Does it sometimes feel like your body and mind hijack your everyday experience? I am a somatic and holistic practitioner, working with clients who want to embody their highest self and live an authentic life of their choosing. I support each client through body-based and emotional healing, especially as it relates to attachment-based or sexuality/relational wounding, Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE), or challenges related to CPTSD. Our bodies are amazing and I truly believe they hold the key to unlocking our healing potential.
I work with somatic approaches including Havening somatic technique (certified) and Focusing as well as spiritually integrated approaches such as arts-based therapies, oracle cards and bibliotherapy. I work with clients who want to deepen personal spiritual integration, find meaning, direction, and belongingness through life.
I also have a background in business, having owned an operated an independent bookstore. I offer a unique perspective on workplace challenges, especially involving complex relational concerns and power imbalances. I look forward to working with you!
I am a Certified Havening Techniques® Practitioner, which focuses on the neuroplasticity of the brain. This approach is grounded in the idea that memories and emotions can be accessed and changed through specific sensory input. I can help you deepen insights, process emotions, and create new meaning from painful experiences.
Our bodies are amazing things, and I truly believe they hold the key to unlocking our natural healing potential. That's why I'm such a big proponent of somatic healing, working in tandem with traditional therapy to help you access and process emotions in a more holistic way.
I invite you to schedule a free consultation and discover how you can benefit from my holistic, spiritually integrated, and somatic approach to healing.
