SOMATIC THERAPY & SPIRITUAL COUNSELLING
VANCOUVER AND ONLINE
SUPPORTING YOU IN CONNECTING WITH THE ANCIENT WISDOM OF THE BODY AND ITS NATURAL INSTINCT FOR HEALING AND WHOLENESS.
Some of us live as if a tiger is chewing on our necks right now… moment to moment, day after day. We were never meant to tough this kind of thing out alone. In somatic therapy, we create a space together in which this kind of intense sensation and experience can transform.
The parts of you that were overwhelmed in the past deserve a space in which they can feel very intentionally met - connected with, supported, honored. A shared space of steady, intentional presence creates the conditions for those wounded parts to remember their original nature. No telling what that might look like but...what feels overwhelmed and alone now might stand up and remember its warrior fierceness. Or trade in desolate isolation for big-hearted, open connection...
I WILL WORK WITH YOU TO...
build a space of embodied awareness
Your own body's natural, primal wisdom will take care of the rest.

Shawn Klemmer
Registered Therapeutic Counsellor & Spiritual Teacher
As a trauma-informed counsellor and somatic practitioner, my work is rooted in personal experience. I've lived through debilitating trauma. Once upon a time, ptsd was the defining factor in my life. Since then, I've immersed in many modalities that became lifelines and guides. From the body-based wisdom of Somatic Experiencing, to the stillness and insight of Zen and Daoist practice, to the mythic and ceremonial dimensions of shamanic work, each stream has offered me tools and truths I now share in service of others. With deep respect for the nervous system and the soul, I hold a space where clients can explore, release, and reweave their stories. My commitment is to offer a grounded, compassionate presence — one that supports real transformation and honors the resilience and wholeness we all carry.
“One does not need to remain in bondage to that first imprint made on childhood sensibilities, one need not be branded by the first pattern. Once the deforming mirror is smashed, there is the possibility of wholeness, there is the possibility of joy.”
