Mahvash is a Registered Clinical Counsellor specialising in body-oriented, holistic, and integrative therapeutic modalities. She is certified to practice Mindfulness-Based Somatic therapy (MBST) and Somatic Release Breathwork (SRBW).
If you feel hopeless, stuck, drained, lost, numb, and find it difficult to feel joy and happiness; if you feel a tension that is constantly activated and stealing your energy away; and if you feel exhausted or unmotivated; there is a great chance that you hold some undigested and repressed emotions and experiences in your body.
If that is how you feel and where you are, then allow Mahvash to hold a safe space for you to digest and release your repressed emotions and experiences, and replace them with elevated, joyful emotions accompanied by clarity. Through a holistic approach, she empowers you to take a proactive role in your healing process as you gain control over your nervous system, your body, your mind, and consequently your life.
Mahvesh brings 30 years of experience in the mental health and social service sector. I have my own share of trauma, life-changing events, and oppression. When I felt hopeless and lost, I learned in the presence of an empathic witness how to access my inner ability to heal. I also learned how to hold a safe space for others as they heal.
