About Madeline's Work

Holistic psychotherapy can deepen the capacity for self-awareness, self-acceptance, and self-responsibility. In a holistic psychotherapy approach the unique mental, emotional, physical and spiritual aspects of each client are engaged and honoured.

Holistic psychotherapy is based on a model of wellness rather than pathology. A holistic counseling model is client-centered. The pace of the work, and the approaches used, are geared to the authentic needs and rhythm of each client’s process. Holistic psychotherapy attunes to both the personal and transpersonal dimensions of the client. In holistic psychotherapy an eclectic mix of tools are employed including cognitive therapy, somatic/body-centered techniques, and time-honoured spiritual practices including meditation, ritual, prayer, and silence.

The process of holistic psychotherapy is enhanced by attuning to one’s conscious intention. Bringing all parts of oneself together into a harmonious whole, one can more accurately know what one wants. Through conscious intention, one is able to assess one's innate intelligence, wisdom and capacities that may have been previously dormant.

The goal of holistic psychotherapy is that each client, with awareness and growth, can come to embody their full potential in the world.

Holistic psychotherapy will benefit individuals and groups:

who seek to live more consciously
who desire deep transformative change
who want to claim their power to create and live more meaningful and fulfilling lives


Holistic psychotherapy is offered in individual sessions, distance telephone counseling, and in group format through workshops and retreats.
