Introducing Alex!
Student Support & Program Coordinator. Trauma-Informed Yoga Facilitator.

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 Yoga Therapy certification 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,
​

Dr. Melissa Jay is an Indigenous, nehiyaw-Métis member of the Métis Nation of Alberta. The primary location of Canmore Counselling and Trauma-Informed Yoga Psychology School is located in Chuwapchipchiyan Kudi Bi (translated from Îyârhe Nakoda as “shooting at the willows”), colonially known as Canmore. We are grateful to be located on Treaty 7 territory and the current and ancestral lands of the Îyârhe Nakoda (Stoney Nakoda), which includes of the Bearspaw First Nation, Chiniki First Nation, and Goodstoney First Nation, as well as the Tsuut’ina First Nation and the Blackfoot Confederacy, including the Siksika First Nation, Piikani First Nation, and Kainai First Nation. This is also the home to the Rocky View Métis District 4 within the Battle River Territory. We recognize all Nations who continue to nurture these lands, and we are dedicated to uplifting Truth, language, and culture as essential to right relations. As an act of reconciliation and commitment to decolonization, we are committed to the TRC's Calls to Action. 

At Canmore Counselling, we are also privileged to be yoga students, practitioners, and guides. Our offerings centre on the root of yoga as Indigenous to South Asia, and we are grateful to learn from and amplify the 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. 

We believe wholeheartedly that trauma-informed care requires commitment to community, social justice, decolonization, anti-oppression, and anti-racism. Thank you for being here :)​
