Carolyn Hapgood, a Counsellor, Yoga Therapist, TRE Trainer Trainee, Neurogenic Yoga Teacher and Reiki Master/Teacher, approaches wellness by looking at mind, body and energy system. After being in the counselling field since 1992, Carolyn realized that talk-therapy is only part of the journey towards wellness. The body also has a “story” to tell. Emotions, stress and traumatic events are held in the mind/body/energy system and can lead to stored stress and tension patterns. Often, we become dissociated or cut off from the body and the important signals and role it plays in wellness. We can feel a sense of betrayal – that our bodies are betraying us or letting us down or we can be fearful of what the body has stored. Overwhelming emotions (such as anxiety and depression) and/or disease may also be involved. Integration of the mind, body and energy system can help restore the system to wellness.

In recent years, Carolyn utilizes a combination of modalities to release tension in the mind, body and energy system. Services are chosen based on the need, comfort level and interest of the individual. These services can include counselling, body work (exercises or yoga), breath work, relaxation techniques, therapeutic tremoring (Neurogenic Yoga™ and TRE™) or Reiki.
