As a psychotherapist, I work with clients who come to therapy to understand what has happened. During our initial sessions, we will delve into getting to know you, understanding your unique lived experience, and finding clues about what your healing can involve. Most of my clients experience new insights, more personal freedom, discerning ways of navigating, and increased self-compassion within the first few sessions.

Telling our stories is vital to both survival and thriving as human beings. I strive to provide a therapeutic relationship where you can express yourself naturally in time.

I will listen with curiosity, open-mindedness, and compassion, ultimately helping you identify areas of possible growth and healing.

Collaborating on strategies, treatment plans, and ways of moving forwards with new insights are all outcomes of our work together.

I am a RCSW with the BC College of Social Workers, and my services are eligible for reimbursement from many extended health plans, as well as being considered a tax-deductible medical expense.

It is with a caring heart that I sit with clients, curious in how they notice and care for their whole being and how that relationship with Self weaves its way into their relationships with the world around them.  From Self-Awareness to Self-Compassion to Responsibility on through to Healing.  This has become my therapeutic lens that I offer my clients in my practice.  It has notes of Attachment, Mindfulness, Jungian, Strength based, and hopefully is always Body and Person Centered in its flow. My work with couples is a blend of those while integrated into the research from the Gottman Institute.

I have been in relationship with my partner for 34 years, together we have parented our two children into adulthood and been blessed with a granddaughter who continually reminds us of what is really important in this world. Much of my learnings and empathy have come from my own family experiences and challenges, it is from the struggles of my relationship with my two-year-old son that the Parenting on the Edge Project was formed, which has since been presented to hundreds of parents and caregivers over these past 20 years.

After a career dedicated to supporting families through non-profit agencies and MCFD contracts, I am delighted to be settling into a private practice that allows more room for balance and nourishment to myself, my family, and to my clients.

I incorporate Bowen Therapy, EFT Tapping andReiki alongside Holistic Beauty Therapy.  I approach each person with deep respect and reverence on their individual journey to wellness.  Typically, our skin issues or aches and pains are a result of several factors that are not in flow.  Using an intuitive approach, whilst listening carefully, I help people find that flow again.  In one session, people can start to get back onto their path of wellness.

Sessions are in person or online.  I have clients all over the world and am honoured to support them all.

My facials treatments are often blended into my own ‘Fusion Treatments’ for full impact and healing effect.  Products we use to support skin conditions like Acne, Rosacea and Eczema are all made locally, using organic and hand tinctured herbs and botanicals for maximum healing potential,  Ingredients are sustainably sourced and environmental friendly on all levels.  They are deeply healing and nourishing from every day skin care routines to complex skin complaints that need extra support!  Balms, oils, lotions, salves and creams are all freshly made and 100% organic.

Do give me a call to ask any questions or visit my website at www.figsandhoney.com for details of all my treatments.

I look forward to meeting you soon.

Warmly

Lisa Sliwowska

Through our sessions, when I am called to, I will offer you concrete insights into your future when the timing is correct. I can speak to your loved ones on the other side, and offer their insight as well, all timed through your healing journey, so that you remain empowered.

Although I offer single sessions, which are often enough to help overcome a hurdle in your life, I recommend doing the deeper work that my packages and retreats offer. If you are ready to take control of your life, let’s work together to dive into what is holding you back. All packages come with full email/text support throughout our 8 sessions together.

I work with adults of all ages and adolescents 16 years and older. To schedule a free 30-minute consultation, please call or text me at (250) 537-7330, or email me at josh@eyesoflove.ca. 

My approach is holistic, relational, and based on cultivating self-awareness and self-acceptance. To learn more about who I am and how I can support you, please visit my website: www.eyesoflove.ca. 

If you are at a stage in your life when you want to grow and expand, I can help you gain greater clarity on what you value most in life, so that you can let go of the beliefs that limit you and strengthen the ones that serve you. 

If you struggle with overthinking and self-doubt, I can help you begin to drop from your head into your heart. Together we can get in touch with your emotions and listen to the wisdom of your body. 

If you struggle with low self-esteem, we can work together to recognize your habitual patterns of judging and criticizing yourself. Then I can help you cultivate the ability to view yourself with more compassion, so that you can forgive the mistakes you’ve made, accept your perceived shortcomings, and learn to see the beauty in your imperfection. 

Whatever challenges you are facing, I am here to support you, as a fully-present, caring, and non-judgmental companion on your inner journey of self-discovery and healing. 

As a coach, I often use Havening Techniques with clients seeking to make positive life changes. Whether they are business owners, entrepreneurs looking to expand their operations, or individuals considering a new career or other significant life change, Havening Techniques can be a powerful tool for helping them overcome any obstacles or fears that may be holding them back.

One of the critical benefits of Havening Techniques is that they create new neural pathways in the brain, which can support the client in making positive changes. By helping clients visualize their goals and focus on the positive outcomes they want, Havening Techniques can help them build the confidence and motivation they need to take the necessary steps to achieve those goals.

Another important aspect of Havening Techniques is allowing the body, mind, and soul to work together in harmony, creating a sense of balance and well-being essential for supporting positive change. By using sensory input to calm and soothe the body and helping clients to identify and process any negative emotions or thoughts that may be holding them back, Havening Techniques can help create a sense of inner peace and clarity that can be vital for achieving success.

Havening Techniques offers a unique and highly effective approach to helping clients achieve their goals and make positive life changes. Whether you are a business owner or entrepreneur or simply looking to make a significant life change, Havening Techniques may be worth considering as a way to support your efforts and help you achieve your dreams.
