Welcome,

I’m Yvette Lalonde (they/them), a registered somatic trauma counsellor and embodiment DJ/facilitator. I support folks in deepening their connection with their bodies, moving from instinct, and finding avenues of expression of their feelings.

I’ve been in private practice since 2011, specializing in complex trauma and working with queer folks all over the world. I offer individual therapy and online groups that incorporate the body through mindfulness and a variety of movement modalities.

I’m also a facilitator with The 360 Emergence, offering free-form, DJ’d dance experiences in Vancouver, BC and on the Sunshine Coast, BC.

My work is about helping you reclaim your right to fully occupy and inhabit your body so that you may live life in a more deliberate and prolific way. My approach is founded in the belief that you are not separate from your environment, and it takes into account how society and oppressive systems impact your lived experience.

Applying a neurobiological approach allows us to understand how and why your symptoms are showing up; it invites us to attend to your pain and discomfort with a deeper level of compassion, and to recognize and harness your physical and psychological strengths.

At the center of our work is a curiosity and reverence for the abstract, mysterious, and sacred aspects of healing, which allows us to tap into the nonlinear characteristics of well-being and your intuitive capacities.

Together, we will draw upon a diverse set of skills and practices, intricately blending them to provide you with the most effective support tailored to your needs. These practices may encompass:
