 A Greeting from Carolyn (she/her)
Provisional Psychologist. Trauma-Informed Yoga Psychology School Faculty.

My interest lies in the innate potential we possess to transform, develop, and heal. I believe through connection and support we can tap into our inner wisdom, discover our most authentic selves and alchemize our challenges to build own path forward.

​My approach to therapy is trauma-informed, integrative, and is rooted in an attachment-based lens. I consider the role that the body plays in our healing as pivotal, and work to find harmony between the mind-body relationship using various approaches.

I am orientated towards somatic, body-based modalities. I consider human beings to be multifaceted and seek to try and find integration and meaning within our different parts in order to move towards a feeling of wholeness. As a yoga teacher and practitioner of over 17 years, I am orientated towards the yogic system and have a particular interest in the space where spirituality and science collide. I work with clients to reconnect to the wisdom of themselves physically, emotionally, cognitively and energetically and use different ideologies such as EMDR, body dialoguing, emotionally focused therapy, somatics, archetypal embodiment, breath practices, movement, meditation etc., as parts of a pathway forward.

I utilize a feminist lens to consider the different cultural and societal systems that deeply impact our experience and orientation to world, self and others. I believe deep healing is not
only individual, but must be relational and collective.

I honour and acknowledge how deeply sacred and personal each person's story is. Understanding that the counselling process can be extremely vulnerable, I strive to make each session a safer space, judgment free, and full of acceptance. Together I hope we can unpack your story and explore what it is to be human.

I look forward to connecting with you.

Canmore Counselling & Trauma-Informed Yoga Psychology School is an Indigenous and Black-owned family business, co-created by Melissa Jay and Michael Yudcovitch. 

​Our team lives across Turtle Island, and we honour the Nations who continue to nurture these lands. Our primary office is located in Châ Ûpchîchîyen Kudebi (translated from Îyârhe Nakoda as “shooting at the willows”), colonially known as Canmore, on Treaty 7 territory and the current and ancestral lands of the Îyârhe Nakoda (Stoney Nakoda), Tsuut’ina First Nation, and Blackfoot Confederacy. These lands are also home to the Rocky View Métis District 4 within the Battle River Territory. 

We are grateful to be students, practitioners, and guides of yoga, an Indigenous wisdom tradition with roots in India and across South Asia and parts of Africa. We are committed to learning from and amplifying South Asian teachers and practitioners while continuing to learn alongside our own students, faculty, and alumni. We believe trauma-informed care requires an active commitment to community, social justice, decolonization, anti-oppression, anti-racism, reciprocity, and meaningful care for people and communities who have been intentionally and historically marginalized.

As a team, we are committed to uplifting Truth, language, culture, and relationship as essential to right relations and to our ongoing work of reconciliation and decolonization. Thank you for being here :)
