Intentions
As Ayurvedic Health Counsellor, it is Jordan's pleasure to genuinely support you with a service that is customized to meet your unique needs. She also intends to encourage you to become your own healer by providing you with easy to implement tools that inspire self-inquiry, awareness building, and mind/body healing. Jordan believes that we all need ways to cultivate strength, resiliency, and compassion. The ancient practices of Ayurveda and yoga can offer just that…and bonus they actually work! She's experienced this firsthand. Discovering the truth of who we are, healing our bodies, and waking us up to a more meaningful and joyful life is our birthright.
Dharma
Jordan believes that we are all whole and can lead fulfilling lives despite the struggles we’ve endured. In fact, she believe's that we can grow to see even the hardest moments and experiences as our medicine and our teacher. She deeply values her work and the authentic human connections she gets to make each day. She feels blessed to be in service as I walk alongside individuals during times of challenge, vulnerability, and growth.

The results are proper nourishment of every cell, meaning optimal health is achieved and your connection to self becomes much deeper as well as with your loved ones and other creatures!
Background & Experience
As a social worker, Jordan has worked in poverty reduction and homelessness prevention, and developed and ran an at-risk Indigenous youth program. In recent years, she's worked for the health authority as an acute medical and oncology social worker. She also served as a clinician in a medical doctors office, and worked extensively in the mental health sector as a youth crisis response clinician.
Educationally, she holds a Master's degree in Social Work and continue's to receive formal training and mentorship in body-focused psychotherapy with Somatic Experiencing International. During her Masters she did an apprenticeship in family therapy while exploring the use of yoga-based interventions in clinical social work practice. She also teaches trauma-informed yoga for clients and my community at Nelson School of Yoga, and provide educational workshops to the public as an Ayurvedic Health Counsellor. With these experiences, she's created a unique service that is holistic in nature. Although she certainly draw on the knowledge from the mainstream disciplines of social work and Western therapy, she has found that Ayurveda and Yoga serve as practical tools that cut to the chase and allow change and healing to happen much more quickly and effectively, especially when combined with energetic, somatic, and trauma-informed therapies.
