We offer 90-minute Extended Therapy Sessions and 3-hour Therapy Intensive Blocks.
Extended sessions allow for more spacious therapeutic work than a standard session, supporting deeper exploration without rush.
Therapy Intensives offer structured, multi-hour immersion for clients who are ready for sustained therapeutic focus over a shorter period of time.

What this format is designed to do
Therapy Intensives are structured clinical containers organized in extended blocks of time rather than brief, repeated sessions. This format reduces the fragmentation that can occur when therapeutic work is spread across long intervals, and instead supports continuity of process within a contained timeframe.
It also allows for a more focused therapeutic arc, where attention remains within the same clinical thread across a session or series of sessions.
Therapeutic Approaches & Integrative Modalities
Your Intensive may include a combination of the following approaches, depending on your needs and goals:
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Art and Shamanic Art Therapy
Dream Analysis and Exploration
Ego State Therapy
Emotional Freedom Technique & Thought Field Therapy (EFT/TFT)
Enneagram Analysis and Exploration
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
Family Constellations
Gestalt Awareness Practices
HeartMath Coherence for Trauma Healing
Human Design and Gene Key Analysis and Exploration
Mindfulness Meditation
Observed and Experiential Integration (OEI)
Psychotherapeutic Reiki & Somatic Energy Healing Practices
Sound Bath and Sound Healing
Vagus Nerve Calming and Regulating Practices
Intensives create the conditions for sustained therapeutic focus.
Rather than working in short, interrupted segments over time, you are able to stay with your process in a continuous way. This often allows for deeper emotional processing, clearer insight, and a stronger sense of integration.
There is more space to follow the natural rhythm of your nervous system—without repeatedly starting and stopping the work. This can support deeper processing, clearer insight, and a stronger sense of internal integration.
Many clients also find that this format reduces the ongoing cognitive and emotional load of weekly therapy, allowing attention to remain with the work itself rather than repeated re-orientation.
Each Intensive begins with a 90-minute Pre-Intensive Interview. During this session, we will meet virtually to clarify your goals, assess readiness for intensive work, and prepare for the therapeutic container ahead.
You will receive a customized workbook designed to support your preparation, engagement, and integration throughout the Intensive process. This may include reflective prompts, experiential exercises, and space to track insights before, during, and after your Intensive.
Each Intensive is designed to meet your specific therapeutic goals. Depending on your needs, we may work with a focused modality approach or integrate multiple modalities into a cohesive, layered therapeutic experience.
Intensives are structured in 3-hour therapeutic blocks, ranging from 3 to 15 hours depending on your selected package.
Sessions may be conducted virtually or in-person in Ottawa. Retreat-style Intensives are also available at the Healing Yurt in Bowman, QC. Evening and weekend scheduling options are available.

If you are seeking a more immersive experience, retreat-style Intensives offer the opportunity to step away from daily responsibilities and focus fully on your healing process.
Spend two nights and three days in the Healing Yugen Yurt, located on a semi-private pond in Bowman, Quebec. This setting offers a grounded, nature-based container for deeper restoration and integration.
Each Intensive concludes with a 90-minute Post-Intensive Reflection Session. This session supports integration of your experience, consolidates insights, and explores next steps in your ongoing therapeutic journey.
