What is a Social Worker and what do they do?

​

Social Workers work with individuals, families, groups and communities to enhance their individual and collective well-being.

​

As a Registered Social Worker, Psychotherapist, I aim to help empower people to develop skills and connect to the resources that they need so they can support themselves in achieving their emotional and spiritual goals. Social Work looks at not only the individual but how their challenges connect to the broader social systems that they exist within. ⁣

​

The uniqueness of social work practice is in the blend of particular values, knowledge and skills, including the use of relationship as the basis of all interventions and respect for the client’s choice and involvement.basis of all interventions and respect for the client’s choice. and involvement.

What is Animism?

​

Animism is a way of understanding the world that roots back to ancient times and honours the spirit and energy in all things. ⁣

We humans are part of nature and therefore we are impacted by nature. Nature is our greatest healer and teacher.

By connecting with mother earth, we can heal and rediscover our roots. Understanding our roots, connection to nature and ancestral past are all significant pieces to understanding ourself and our place in this world. ⁣
⁣
Animism is the birthplace of modern day religion. Animists honour the earth and spirit realms. I use card readings, spirit bridge journeys, energy healing, sacred stories and real life magic to connect people to their subconscious self, each other and their spiritual path.

​

 

What is a Spirit Bridge?

​

As a spirit bridge, I work with both this waking realm and the spirit realm. I support people in times of transition, bridging the gap between the old and the new. I honour the wisdom from both the light and the dark. I support people in developing a deeper connection with their spirit self and the realm of spirit as well as grounding into this human experience.
