Kieran is a counsellor, educator, coach, and former Paralympic sledge hockey athlete whose life and career have been shaped by resilience, leadership, and a deep commitment to helping others grow through adversity.
A world champion in his sport, Kieran also coached the provincial sledge hockey team to three consecutive national titles, bringing a strong foundation in mentorship, teamwork, and a high-performance mindset to everything he does. Before transitioning into counselling, he spent 16 years as a teacher, working in schools across K–12 and teaching a wide range of subjects. Throughout his career, coaching and teaching have remained central to his passion for helping others build confidence, character, and perseverance.
Kieran’s path has been anything but ordinary. After shattering his legs in a near-fatal cliff-jumping accident, he faced a long and demanding recovery that ultimately led him to Paralympic sport and a renewed sense of purpose. He later wrote an autobiography to share his journey and inspire others facing their own challenges.
Today, as a counsellor, he supports individuals navigating chronic pain, depression, anxiety, and major life transitions. His therapeutic approach draws from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Solution-Focused Therapy, blending practical skills with compassion and lived understanding.
Grounded and approachable, Kieran is passionate about walking alongside others as they rediscover strength, hope, and possibility. He is also a proud husband and father of four daughters, who continue to be his greatest motivation.

This introductory info session offers a clear and practical overview of Somatic Developmental Psychology, with a focus on the Bodynamic approach. Arijana will introduce what somatic development is, why it matters, and how this body-based developmental psychology is used in a therapeutic and personal development setting. The session will explore the objective of somatic developmental work and how psychological capacities develop through the body across the lifespan. Participants will be introduced to the full map of Ego Functions used in Bodynamic somatic psychology. One Ego Function, Boundaries, will be explored in more depth through concrete and relatable examples. Arijana will demonstrate how psychological defences can show up in the body and how they may appear in relationships and everyday interactions. The session will also include an overview of Bodynamic education, what this system entails, and how it is applied in personal growth and professional development contexts. Information will be shared about an upcoming Bodynamic Foundation Training planned to be held in Edmonton, with the opportunity to join a waiting list. This info session is suitable for therapists, body workers, parents, students, and anyone curious to learn something new, interested in personal growth or professional development, or curious about a body based therapy approach.

Words Matter: Strategies for a Meaningful Client Experience 3 Continuing Education Credits (CECs) As a fitness professional or manual therapist, you influence and shape your clients’ experiences with exercise. Your words matter. Well, all of your communication matters—words and actions, including underlying biases. For instance (likely without even thinking about it), you may reinforce implicit physical culture rules, beliefs, norms, and values, many of which are negative. You are also an educator with an opportunity to facilitate embodied learning in your clients. In other words, you get to help your clients learn about themselves through the physical sensations of exercise. It’s not just you, of course. As part of a team of health and wellness experts, you and your peers have a cumulative effect on your clients’ experiences with exercise and rehabilitation. This interactive, 3-hour practical workshop invites you to engage with your team to examine what each of you, individually and collectively, brings to your work and how this impacts client inclusion, outcomes, and adherence. You will enact relevant client personas in collaborative simulations, actively practicing and reflecting on nuanced instructional cues. You will leave this workshop with tangible strategies to mitigate stigma and maximize clients’ sense of self-efficacy and agency for their own physical activity and well-being.
