Lexxus is a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor and holistic counsellor. She is particularly interested in somatic therapy and ecotherapy, but is also trained in CBT, DBT and trauma-release therapy. She also enjoys focusing on the physical and emotional wellness of individuals.

Her approach is very grounded, compassionate and relatable. She uses very simple talk to relate to clients while still providing therapeutic support. She believes that with the right support and guidance, most anyone can find the answers they’re looking for within themselves. She will gently guide them to find what they connect to, what emotions are deeper within, and what needs they have.

” I personally get so excited when we incorporate body movement, dance, play etc. into our time together. Using elements like somatic work and the use of nature as a grounding tool is so soothing and freeing, I like to think that it lets kids have a space to be expressive, but also allows adults to connect to their emotions stored in their body and use outside as a space to be connected to themselves rather than work, family etc. However, I am a very open person and would love to be a part of whatever journey you decide works for you!”

Micaela is a certified music therapist (MTA) and vocalist who is passionate about promoting music as a lifelong companion for well-being. Realizing the therapeutic value of music in her own life is what led Micaela to pursue and complete her Bachelor’s Degree in Music Therapy at Capilano University, which included a 1000-hour practicum at BC Children’s Hospital.

Micaela has worked for 12 years with children and youth in a variety of professional roles. In these diverse positions, her style of working with children has continually emphasized creativity and expression. Micaela believes that play is a foundational part of one’s health and incorporates this philosophy into the work she does.

Micaela’s approach is centred around facilitating a therapeutic relationship through music for each of her clients. Each music therapy session is collaboratively constructed between the client and the therapist. Sessions can involve singing, playing an instrument, recreating songs, songwriting, improvisation, rhythmic based activities, mindfulness, writing musical stories, music-based discussion, and playlist creation. While an interest in music and sound can help sessions, music therapy is meant to be an accessible medium of creativity. No prior experience in music is necessary!

Micaela lives and works on the ancestral and unceded homelands of the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ and Sḵwx̱wú7mesh speaking peoples and feels grateful to be on this territory.
