Leadership & Team

I am Shannon, a trauma-informed holistic practitioner, recovery guide, and sacred space holder devoted to supporting healing, transformation, and compassionate care through all stages of life—including recovery, growth, and end-of-life transitions. With over 26 years of lived recovery experience, my path has been shaped by resilience, deep healing, and the understanding that healing is not linear—it is a return home to oneself. Through Reiki, somatic movement therapy, somatic breathwork, acupressure, herbal wellness support, recovery coaching, life coaching, and end-of-life doula support, I offer heart-centered care for those seeking balance, healing, meaning, and deeper connection. My work honours the wisdom held within the body, the strength born through adversity, and the soul’s innate capacity for healing, acceptance, and peace. I believe healing unfolds when we feel safe enough to soften, courageous enough to release what no longer serves us, and open enough to receive who we are becoming. I also believe that death, like life, deserves dignity, compassion, presence, and sacred support. Whether walking alongside someone in recovery, personal transformation, grief, or end-of-life transition, my intention is to create spaces where individuals and families feel seen, held, and supported. Together, we create room for restoration, empowerment, reflection, and reconnection—with self, purpose, inner peace, and the deeper rhythms of life. My role is to walk beside others with compassion, authenticity, and hope, supporting each person as they reclaim their light, honour their journey, and move through life’s transitions with courage and grace. You are not here merely to survive—you are here to heal, grow, and remember the strength, wisdom, and sacred wholeness that have always lived within you.

Healing is at the heart of being human. I believe in the inherent goodness and natural drive toward growth within each person. Often, this process unfolds through the very challenges and suffering we experience. Our pain can become an opening to transformation, meaningful understanding, and even joy — and sometimes we need help to find our way through it. I offer a grounded and compassionate space to guide that journey.

In therapy, I help clients explore how past experiences shape present patterns, and how to integrate those experiences in ways that promote self-awareness, emotional adaptability, and wholeness. Together, we work toward optimizing mental, emotional, and physical well-being while learning to navigate life's inevitable challenges with compassion and strength.

I work with a wide range of concerns and have a special interest in supporting individuals and families experiencing addiction. My approach is holistic and tailored to each person, drawing from EMDR, psychodynamic therapy, cognitive-behavioral (CBT), mindfulness-based, and somatic methods to address the whole being — mind, body, heart, and spirit.

I am a Masters of Counselling Psychology (with honours) graduate with a lifetime commitment to personal development including over 25 years of experience practicing and teaching the therapeutic practice of yoga.

Hi, I'm Trevor. I hold a Master's degree in Counselling Psychology and am a professional member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA) and a Certified Canadian Counsellor (CCC). I primarily support adults and adolescents navigating issues such as addiction, anxiety, self-worth, life transitions, and identity. Whether you're facing something new or carrying something heavy for a long time, you don't have to do it alone.

My approach is client-centered and trauma-informed, rooted in collaboration, curiosity, and respect. I draw from a range of modalities to meet your needs. I believe that healing begins in safe, compassionate spaces, where you don't have to explain or perform, just be human. My role is to walk alongside you, helping you reconnect with your strengths, your story, and the self you may have lost touch with along the way.

At the heart of my work is a deep respect for people's resilience and stories. If you're ready to take that next step, however big or small, I'm here to help you feel safe, supported, and seen.

I'm Robie, a chef who's passionate about creating experiences that bring people together through food, comfort, and connection. Working in a recovery-centered environment gave me a deeper appreciation for the importance of community and creating spaces where people feel welcome and supported. I enjoy being part of experiences that bring warmth, conversation, and positive energy to others. Through catering and community events, I'm grateful to contribute to spaces focused on healing, wellness, and meaningful connection.

With over five years of sobriety, Janna understands addiction, recovery, relapse, family trauma, and resilience from the inside out. She brings a level of authenticity to her work that cannot be taught in a classroom because she has lived it, fought through it, and rebuilt her life from the ground up.

As a Registered Interventionist, Canadian Certified Addiction Counsellor, and internationally certified professional through the IC&RC, Janna specializes in addictions of all kinds, including substance use, behavioral addictions, family systems, and the emotional devastation addiction leaves behind. Her work extends beyond the individual struggling, she is deeply committed to helping families heal, rebuild trust, establish boundaries, and rediscover hope in the middle of chaos.

Janna is known for her no-nonsense, solution-focused approach that cuts through excuses, denial, and surface-level recovery work. She believes healing requires honesty, accountability, courage, and action. Clients working with Janna can expect compassion without enabling, truth without judgment, and support without sugarcoating. She is direct, relatable, and fiercely invested in helping people reclaim their lives.

What makes Janna different is her ability to combine clinical knowledge with raw human understanding. She knows what it feels like to sit in shame, to feel hopeless, to lose yourself and she also knows what it takes to come back stronger. Her approach blends evidence-based counselling, intervention support, practical recovery strategies, and real-life experience to create meaningful and sustainable change.

Through Sweetgrass, Janna has created a space where recovery is not about perfection, it is about rebuilding. Mindset. Relationships. Families. Identity. Purpose. She believes people are capable of extraordinary transformation when they are given the right support, the right tools, and someone willing to walk beside them without judgment.

Janna’s mission is simple: help people stop surviving and start living.
