About Madeline

Since 1988 I have worked in the various capacities of therapist, teacher, and facilitator. I have a Master's Degree in Psychology with a focus on Counseling and Health Psychology from Norwich College in Vermont. My Master’s thesis explored psychological interventions in the treatment of breast cancer.

I am a clinical member of the Ontario Society of Psychotherapists and have extensive training and experience in somatic psychotherapy, sexuality and relationship issues, and the interface of spirituality and psychology. I participate in regular professional development opportunities and am engaged in ongoing professional supervision.

Of recent note, this past year I completed my training as a Pathwork Helper which supports me to bring a combination of spiritual counseling, teaching and mentoring to my work. For the last year I have also been studying Somatic Experiencing, a body-centered approach to trauma healing. This summer's reading included the work of Marshall Rosenberg's Non-Violent Communication and explorations in Energy Psychology.

As a member of the International Pathwork and as a Pathwork Helper, I integrate the teachings and practices of the Pathwork lectures into my work. The lectures offer a framework for personal and spiritual transformation within a contemporary spiritual context.

I live and work in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. I am a spiritual seeker, an active community member, and the mother of three children. For my own renewal I seek silence and solitude in nature. I garden, keep bees, am an avid outdoor enthusiast, and a world traveler.
