Wallace Murray RTC, CH, HT
Counselling Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, Hypnotherapist
When asked, I will step into being a helper in ceremony. I am in gratitude to the Balinese and Cree knowledge keepers that have mentored me, guided me, and protected me as I learned what I can do and what I am still learning to do. Some of my studies include an Advanced Counselling Skills Diploma, an Advanced Bachelor’s degree, a Post Baccalaureate Graduate Diploma. My recent completed academic history is in the areas of Psychedelics: a completed Microprogram in Psychedelics and Spirituality Studies at the University of Ottawa, an Introduction to Psychedelic-assisted Therapy certificate and the Advanced Psychedelic-assisted Therapy (PaT) Certification Program with ATMA (https://www.atmajourney.com/)
I am a Compassionate Inquiry Practitioner, a 240-hour, year-long, graduate level training in a psychotherapy mental health approach developed by Gabor Mate. I am also a Humanistic Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner as well as a Master Practitioner of NLP. In summary, I use a variety of modalities when needed, all listed in my site. My broader primary focus outside my one-to-one, group or individual practice is in Mental Health consulting, such as coaching or counselling mental health support workers/first responders, acting as mental health support, counselling and assessment/care plan teams within Aboriginal Services, partnering with Mental Health teams in special projects, or coaching and supporting other counsellors how to manage both clients and a practice.
Other areas of studies include:
- Coaching
- Human Development
- Trauma
- Career
- Applied Linguistics
- Applied Psychology in Education
“Make no mistake about it—enlightenment is a destructive process. It has nothing to do with becoming better or being happier. Enlightenment is the crumbling away of untruth. It’s the complete eradication of everything we imagined to be true.” – A D Y A S H A N T I

Aneesh de Vos, PGCC, MA, Doctorate Student (DProf) Psychological Trauma.
Trauma Therapist, Supervisor & Trainer
Aneesh’s approach is both holistic and collaborative, within an integrative framework to foster support using both orthodox and complementary systems. Aneesh uses compassion and mindful based techniques within a neurobiological framework. This enables a person to understand their triggers both cognitively and somatically and how to manage and or reduce them.
She specializes in Trauma Informed Therapy and compassion focused approaches. She is also a supervisor for other therapists or coaches. Through psychoeducation – therapy is offered so that a person can explore not only their experience but also the effects of their own body responses. This approach offers a deeper understanding of who we are and how we view ourselves in response to our life, and is a compassion focused approach to building skills to recognize our suffering and finding ways to alleviate it.
Aneesh has lived in different countries and thus brings a sensitivity to the differences to be found in other cultures and a readiness to learn from the client.

Karel Kirouac-Laplante
Cannabis Therapy - Montreal
A holistic and integrative approach to health and healing that considers humans in their whole integrity: the body, mind, soul and spirit. In my opinion, within this philosophy, we need to assess: emotional health, as it is an incredibly important aspect that impacts everything else; then, the lifestyle of the person; their environmental context and their relationships with people close to them to some extent. Lifestyle is a broad theme that would include nutrition, sleep, movement, work and everything done on a recurrent basis.
SPECIALIZED IN
- Cannabis therapy and/or intentional consumption:
- autoimmune condition (Hashimoto’s);
- burn out, anxiety, insomnia, eating disorders, substance abuse & addiction
- Psychedelics: Preparation and integration coaching for cannabis journeys and psilocybin (learning in progress for the other psychedelics)
- Health coaching – nutrition (wholefood, animal-based, low carb/keto), movement, mindset work, natural supplements and natural products

Miki Querner
Registered Therapeutic Counsellor
I’m thrilled that our paths have crossed here amidst the vast digital expanse. Allow me to introduce myself – My name is Miki, and I’m not just your ordinary guide on the road to mental wellness. I’m a fellow traveler, a compassionate listener, and a firm believer in the wisdom of our bodies.
Compassion isn’t merely a word to me; it’s a way of life. I’ve always been drawn to the delicate intricacies of the human soul, curious about the stories that shape us and the grace that binds us together. One thing that truly ignites my heart is the incredible potential within our body-mind connection – a dance that’s both beautifully simple and wonderfully complex. Through my personal journey of navigating trauma and healing, I’ve discovered my calling in this profound profession.
Taking the time to slow down and listen to my body showed me what I had been missing – bringing the unconscious into consciousness. Now, I understand and accept old patterns and beliefs that once held me back – they no longer have a grip on me. I’ve learned to fully embrace emotions as embodied experiences that provide essential guidance. I’m genuinely excited about how this powerful interplay can lead to deep, lasting transformation.
Our journey together isn’t linear; it’s an exploration – an excavation of insights that foster growth. My practice is grounded in trauma-informed care, built upon a foundation of deep respect, kindness, and trust. I honour your journey, and together, we’ll create a safe haven where healing unfolds at your own pace.
I’m a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, #3083 through the Association of Cooperative Counsellors in Canada. I’ve trained in the UK and Canada, with specific training in Relational Somatic Therapy. I am a Nutritional Therapist and have been teaching yoga and meditation since 2014.
Prior to counselling, I lived and worked in Switzerland and the UK as a brand and advertising consultant. I am currently based in Vancouver, Canada.
