Marina is a Somatic Experiencing Professional having taken her training through Somatic Experiencing International (SEI). She also is a Registered Massage Therapist and will be finishing her training in Inner Relationship Focusing in March 2025.

Marina started her journey with Somatic Experiencing 4 years ago. A colleague recommended it to her as the next step in her career. After her first day of training, she knew this was what she was made for. Being a survivor of complex PTSD herself, she learned, first hand, the healing power SE can bring. Now, with the tools passed down to her from the faculty members at SEI, it is her goal to assist others in their own healing journey.

As a registered massage therapist for 14 years, Marina has taken on an intuitive nature with the inner workings of the body and the role trauma plays in it. Having extensive knowledge in the numerous holding patterns, injuries, and stress-induced effects of the body, building a body-mind connection is a natural step towards true healing.

Somatic Experiencing heals through facilitating body awareness and deepening the body-mind connection. Using titration, which guides people to take their time so as to not to be re-traumatized, one builds the capacity to eventually sit with the biggest of traumas and process them in a healthy and healing way.

Marina continues to see her own Somatic Experiencing Professional as it has been so pivotal in maintaining a strong connection to herself and to the loved ones around her. As well, she enjoys long walks in the river valley with her 2 dogs and her children. She also continues a weekly peer mentorship because she believes deeply in continuing to strive for more knowledge and growth.

Stewart has returned to Welling Centre and is accepting new clients.

Stewart holds degrees in Counselling (Masters), and Psychology (BA). He has been counselling since 2023 in private practice settings and at a non-profit organization working with survivors of sexual violence. He is a thoughtful and compassionate therapist with a calming presence. He is dedicated to helping clients to live more freely and self-actualized in the face of life’s challenges.

Stewart approaches therapy with psychodynamic, social functionalist, and existential perspectives, and implements methods from compassion focused therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and three-phase trauma therapy. His therapy has been influenced by the works of Judith Herman, Hannah Levenson, Irvin Yalom, Paul Gilbert, and Alfred Adler. He believes that psychotherapy is a process of deep discovery, where the therapist and client work together to uncover patterns which developed in the past, and repeat in the present within emotions, beliefs, drives, and relationships.

Stewart’s research efforts have lead him to focus on the problem of moral injury, and is he is engaged in spreading knowledge about it within the veteran community. Also, he has completed the Introduction to Trauma Exposed Professionals course through Wounded Warriors Canada.

Scarlet’s technique is slow, rhythmic, and gradual as she thoroughly treats areas of pain and discomfort. A central goal in Scarlet’s sessions is to decrease the pain experience by calming the nervous system. Therefore, though she uses deep tissue, active release, kinetic massage, PNF stretching, and trigger point release techniques when appropriate, the overall experience is intended to be deeply relaxing.

Scarlet is a forever learner with a deep interest in understanding pain intervention and body work from all perspectives. Scarlet received thorough training in anatomy, physiology, assessment, and treatment at MH Vicars School of Massage Therapy where she graduated with honours in 2017. Since then, she has received further training in yoga and body rolling as home-care, kinetic massage of the shoulder, orthopaedic assessment, pain science and the biopsychosocial model, and trauma-informed bodywork.

Scarlet’s treatment room is a safe, kind, judgement-free space. She works with people of all ages and stages, including pregnancy.

My approach to massage therapy is to work with your body, not just on it. Pain is the body’s way of indicating that something is not aligned. Bodies want to be aligned, and my approach is to help create space in the fascial matrix to allow your body to realign.

Graduating from Makami in April 2021, I learned how to listen to what the body is saying. By actively listening to your body I can assist in correcting postural issues, and help work on a customized approach to healing acute and chronic pains.
