Hi, I'm Kim. I do my best to show up with joy, authenticity, kindness, playfulness, and curiosity, partnered with my skills and knowledge as a Certified Child Life Specialist, a Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner, an Equine Facilitated Wellness and Learning provider, and a Trauma-Informed Yoga Instructor. I also have years of experience offering mental health support and case management in community agencies, and have developed a strong commitment to trauma-informed care, honouring the beauty and power of working somatically, and honing my skills in trauma-specific practice with humans and equines.

I integrate EQUUSOMA® Horse-Human Trauma Recovery into my practice, which blends Somatic Experiencing® and trauma and attachment neuroscience in horse-human interaction and healing.

I work with children, youth, adults, families, and groups facing trauma, stress, grief and loss, and anxiety. I also have a particular interest in equestrian trauma and falls. I am dedicated to providing a safe container for two- and four legged participants to heal, grow, explore, be curious, and be fully present in the moment.

I run my practice, Roots & Wings, on a farm near Kilsyth, Ontario, as well as virtually.
