Hello, I’m Oana, Throughout my time as a healer in various capacities, I have witnessed the power of safe and nurturing relationships as being key to healing. I honour each client's individual journey and would love to provide the consistency of a relationship with a professional who can see you through the ups and downs of life, reflecting your feelings and providing a reparative relationship. I work with adults and couples, although older teens are also welcome. You may be curious about understanding and processing your relationship difficulties, or your experiences with grief, stress, trauma, anxiety and depression. Our work together may involve exploring your own nervous system and looking within at parts that may be in the way of living a truly aligned life. MY modalities are largely process based and I offer somatic experiencing, emotionally focused therapy (EFT), Gottman couple therapy, Jungian depth work and accelerated resolution therapy (ART; although I am unable to provide ART virtually). My overall approach is psychodynamic and person centered, valuing the uniqueness of each client's wisdom and experience. I am inclusive to all genders, orientations and cultural backgrounds. I'd love to meet virtually for a first session to see how it feels for you to be in the therapeutic space together. Warmly, Oana | she/her (pronounced 'Wanna') |
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 :)
