“What if I were to tell you that you are inherently good, kind and loving at your core, and that there is nothing wrong with you?”
— Derek Scott

Hello, I’m Lacey.


I am a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor and hold a deep belief in the power of attunement and loving presence as profound pathways to healing. With nearly two decades of experience in the helping profession and thousands of hours of training in mindfulness and personal development, I bring both my heartfelt passion and commitment—personally and professionally—to this work. More recently in my career I have worked closely with first responders with PTSD- supporting their recovery through evidence based group work. I have a particular love for relational meditation practices, which I both participate in and lead, and this deeply informs my ability to attune to your experience as it unfolds.

I have walked—and continue to walk—my own path of healing from childhood trauma, PTSD, and addiction that stemmed from my earlier years. I intimately understand the suffering that can live in the body; nervous system states of fight, flight, and freeze, negative thought loops, narratives of hopelessness, flashbacks—and the real effort it takes to climb out of the abyss into a healthier way of being. I believe that the person walking with you on your path to healing should have some familiarity with the terrain. I can assure you, I do. I have many tools in my belt to support you in your healing—because I’ve been there.

I truly believe we all have the capacity to heal and unfold into a life of greater peace and freedom.

My approach to healing is multi faceted, honoring the interconnectedness of body, mind, emotions and soul.
