Thanks for being here!

We can’t wait to walk with you! For Squamish walks, please book a consult with Julia Bursey. For Whistler walks, or for therapists seeking mentorship, please book a consult with Heather Hendrie.

We are not able to offer crisis support. If you find yourself in crisis, you can visit the closest emergency room, call 911, or access Crisis Services in British Columbia through: Crisis Centre BC National Suicide Crisis Helpline / Ligne d’aide en cas de crise de suicide: 9-8-8 BC Mental Health Support Line: 310-6789 (no area code needed) BC Suicide Prevention and Intervention Line: 1-800-SUICIDE / 1-800-784-2433

Please note: due to the government decision to no longer charge tax on counselling sessions by Registered Clinical Counsellors in BC, we are keeping our rates flat for 2025 from last year (2024) in lieu of our standard annual fee increase.

Hi there!

Thanks for reaching out! I currently offer video, phone or walking counselling sessions from Whistler, BC. I’m particularly passionate these days about mentoring new nature-based therapists.

I am a graduate of the Naropa University 3 year Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling program in Transpersonal Wilderness Therapy. Through this Buddhist-inspired school located in Boulder, Colorado, my studies focused on mindfulness-based, somatic and nature-based healing modalities.

Prior to my graduate studies, I completed a degree in Kinesiology from the University of Calgary, specializing in Outdoor Pursuits. This early background provided me with a strong understanding of biology, the body, the brain and the nervous system, as well as how humans perform and interact in nature, all of which I incorporate into my therapeutic practice. I believe in an integrative and collaborative approach that supports the whole person.

My approach is relational, as I truly believe that it is through relationship that we heal. My approach is to move beyond symptoms to underlying root issues, gently and with compassion. I feel most joyful when I can be present with people during their “aha!” moments, and to witness and support as they come back into connection with their own basic goodness and brilliance.

If you’re ready for a change, walking with me could be for you. I look forward to walking by your side towards optimal wellness!
