A Greeting from Alexandra

|
Hello I am Alexandra Zúñiga.
I am thrilled to be a part of the Canmore Counselling team as the Coordinator for all things Canmore Counselling and Trauma-Informed Yoga Psychology School. Deeply interested in all things psychology, yoga, nature, helping others, I am dedicated to a life of learning. I have earned my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology at McMaster University along with an undergraduate certificate in Applied Behavioural Analysis from Mohawk College. I am also a graduate from the first cohort of the Trauma-Informed Yoga Psychology School 200-hour teacher training. In addition to my work with Canmore Counselling, I offer support to children with developmental needs and their families, trauma-informed yoga instruction, and hope to pursue a Masters of Counselling degree in the future. It is an honour to be your first point of contact here and guide you in the right direction with your counselling or yoga-school needs. Looking forward to connecting with you, Alex (she/her) |
Dr. Melissa Jay is an Indigenous, Nehiyaw-Métis member of the Métis Nation of Alberta. Canmore Counselling is located Chuwapchipchiyân Kudi Bi (translated from Îyârhe Nakoda as “shooting at the willows”), colonially known as Canmore. We are located the beautiful Rocky Mountains which is considered Treaty 7 land, the traditional territory of the Îyârhe Nakoda, including the Bearspaw, Chiniki, and Wesley First Nations, as well as the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Blackfoot Confederacy, including the Siksika, Piikani, and Kainai First Nations, and home of Métis Nation of Alberta, Region III. As an act of reconciliation and decolonization, may we work together to answer the TRC's Calls to Action: Truth & Reconciliation Commission Reports and Findings.
At Canmore Counselling we are also priveleged to be yoga students, practitoners, and guides. Our offerings are dedicated to honouring the root of yoga and learning from and amplifying the voices of South Asian practitioners and teachers whenever possible. We are grateful for the eight limbs of yoga, as taught by Patanjali. It is a joy to walk alongside our incredible alumni of the Trauma-Informed Yoga Psychology School as they create opportunities for care, connection & curiosity within their communities.
