Lets face it. We all function quite well in our lives as partners, colleagues, friends, and community leaders. My mission is to help you do what you do already, but do it BETTER, and with joy because you and your family are living your best life. A lot of people function hour after hour, day after day using only their limbic brain (the stress center). We focus on getting to work, paying bills, feeding our children, meeting deadlines, without engaging the upper cortical brain where we process life meaning and experience fulfillment.
My commitment to my clients is:
- to help you rediscover your creativity
- to find more meaning in your jobs
- to live soulfully in your relationships.
My promise is to help you care. It starts with caring for YOU.
I see couples & individuals in my clinical practice at 1104 Esquimalt Avenue, West Vancouver.
My background & credentials include:
- B.A. (Psychology) University of B.C
- M.A. (Psychology) with a specialization in Couple & Family Therapy from Antioch University, Seattle.
- Registered Clinical Member of BC Association of Clinical Counselors
- Registered Clinical Member of the BC Association of Marriage & Family Therapy
- One-year internship at Family Services of the North Shore
- Private practice on the North Shore for 10 years
- 25 Years experience working in the area of women’s healthcare, attending to emotional & developmental needs during critical periods of hormonal, post-partum, and/or family life transition.
I am also a mother of two children – one a securities lawyer at McCullough O'Connor Irwin LLP, the other a Chartered Accountant at Ernst & Young Vancouver. Having been in a marriage of 20 years, and recently re-married Joe Weiler, our family has grown with two more, one attending UBC law & the other an administrative assistant. My husband Joe Weiler is a Law Professor at UBC, advisor to one of the Olympic Sponsors for the 2010 games, and my partner in Therahealth Network.
Over the process of my academic, clinical and personal experiences, I have developed an interest in helping families grow in a direction of their choosing. I respect your right to make decisions, while helping you to understand the results of these decisions.
The good news is if you are on this page,
your best life is only weeks or months away from right NOW. |

Over 25 years ago when I started Mom & Me, it was one of the first pre & post-natal exercise classes in Canada. The program has since been covered on BCTV and CBC, and for a period of time I also ran an exercise program on a local television station. The Mom & Me fitness classes at the Highlands Church (Edgemont Village, North Vancouver) has grown into a “mom’s fitness” program with women of all at various ages and stages. I recently donated this business to the new West Vancouver Community Center where it continues to be held.
Outreach Africa: Moms helping Moms across the Globe
The Mom & Me Network will hold its 3rd annual family dance to raise money for women in the mothering role in Ethiopia. 100% of funds go to micro-financing projects sponsored by Partners in the Horn of Africa, a charity that provides funding and support for the creation of capital structures, education programs and health initiatives in Ethiopia.
Visit www.partnersinthehorn.com for more information.
This year we raised $30,000, providing loans for 230 women. We are targeting a goal of $40,000 at next years dance on mothers day weekend, 2008 (Mothers’ Day weekend). There was tremendous support from so many in the class, as well as a core group of volunteer moms (Julie Bernard, Lorene Hetherington, Collette Ostler, Rola Priatel, Lisa Ryan, Darlene Vukorep & myself). |
