While traditional therapies and support groups can be valuable, they don't always create the lasting transformation people are seeking. In a world filled with conflicting advice about how you should heal, it can be difficult to know what truly supports your wellbeing. As somatic practitioners specializing in trauma, attachment, and nervous system healing, we help you reconnect with the wisdom already living within your body. Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, we work with the whole person - mind, body, emotions, relationships, and spirit. Together, we cultivate a deeper relationship with your body's natural intelligence, helping you build emotional capacity, self-awareness, and trust in your own experience. Within a compassionate and supportive environment, you'll have the opportunity to gently explore the wounds, protective patterns, attachment strategies, and limiting beliefs that may be impacting your wellbeing and relationships. Through somatic therapy, attachment-focused support, and embodied practices, we learn to view emotions not as obstacles to overcome, but as meaningful information. Your feelings become valuable feedback that can guide you toward greater self-understanding, healthier boundaries, and more authentic choices. Our approach extends beyond nervous system tools alone. We integrate relational, nature-based, and holistic practices that support the completion of stress and survival responses held within the body. Along the way, many clients reconnect with their sense of purpose, creativity, self-expression, and inner resilience - powerful resources that support lasting healing and personal growth. Ultimately, this work helps close the gap between who you think you should be and who you truly are, creating greater self-trust, authenticity, emotional wellbeing, and embodied freedom. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c1034a7fd1185ce0bf4448/1631125276687-DGPAGBUJ89KWP56TEZUS/gettyimages-668617538-612x612.jpg Somatic Therapist & Trauma Therapy | Expert Healing Services - Who We Support If You're Here, You Belong We support individuals looking for healing, growth, and deeper connection in the following areas: Nervous system healing and emotional resilience Attachment styles and relationship patterns Complex trauma and intergenerational trauma Anxiety, overwhelm, and chronic stress Relational regulation and intimacy challenges Grief, heartbreak, and relationship transitions Women's nervous system health, autonomy, and self-expression Men's emotional wellbeing and relational growth Low self-worth, confidence, and self-esteem Binge eating and disordered eating recovery Spiritual blocks, spiritual bypassing, and integration Purpose, creativity, and soul-led business growth Boundaries, self-agency, and accountability Recovery beyond conventional addiction models Individuals seeking alternatives to traditional talk therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c1034a7fd1185ce0bf4448/b0de709d-e5fa-4ea8-a5f7-8c541ed67ba4/IMG_1248.jpg Somatic Therapist & Trauma Therapy | Expert Healing Services - Meet Chanel Your coach, guide, ally, and friend.

For those on a more celestial journey, Chanel is a regenerative alchemist who serves as an oracle and conduit, gently guiding you back to your inner sanctuary through an intuitively informed and trauma-aware approach.

Having spent nearly two decades navigating an eating disorder - including cycles of restriction, binge eating, and purging - Chanel experienced firsthand the limitations of treatment-based approaches, cognitive therapies, and mindset coaching when they failed to address the whole person. After countless encounters with traditional therapies and support programs that overlooked the interconnectedness of the body, emotions, relationships, and spirit, she was called to create The Self-Worth Lounge. The Self-Worth Lounge was created as a safe and supportive space for those who have never quite fit into conventional boxes or labels. It is a place for individuals seeking a more holistic approach to healing - whether they identify with a clinical diagnosis or simply recognize that certain behaviours, emotional patterns, relationship dynamics, or nervous system responses are impacting their quality of life. With empathy, expertise, and intuition, Chanel helps individuals reconnect with their body's innate wisdom and capacity for healing. Through somatic therapy, attachment-focused support, nervous system education, breathwork, and embodied practices, she empowers clients to awaken their inner healer by leveraging one of their most powerful natural resources - their body. https://www.theselfworthlounge.com/disordered-eating daily 0.75 2026-06-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c1034a7fd1185ce0bf4448/845d8c06-43ed-45c8-95e2-eaa91a4717b5/IMG_0763.jpg https://www.theselfworthlounge.com/about daily 0.75 2026-06-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c1034a7fd1185ce0bf4448/1631127513067-U271R4TQA0JP35DGWEVW/Somatic+Experience+Therapist About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c1034a7fd1185ce0bf4448/a6fc68cc-a1e9-400c-beee-cc2f886fbb3e/IMG_3659.jpg About - "As a Somatic Experience Therapist, my guidance is rooted in the landscape of the nervous system.

For those who identify as male, we recognize that there can be unique pressures, expectations, and stigmas surrounding emotional and mental wellbeing. Many men have been taught to carry responsibility, perform, provide, and push through discomfort, often with little support for navigating what is happening beneath the surface. If you've found your way here, you may be experiencing overwhelm, emotional disconnection, difficulties in relationships, or challenges with intimacy and vulnerability. You may feel stuck in patterns that impact your wellbeing, your relationships, your work, or your ability to feel fully present in your life. The truth is that struggles with emotional health, self-worth, and connection are not exclusive to any gender. As a somatic therapist, my role is to provide support that is tailored to your unique experiences, values, and goals. A Somatic Approach to Men's Mental Health Through somatic therapy, attachment-focused work, and nervous system support, we explore the emotional patterns, survival strategies, and protective behaviours that may be shaping your life and relationships. Many of these patterns were not consciously chosen. They were learned through family systems, culture, relationships, and lived experience. Together, we create space to better understand your emotional landscape, strengthen your capacity for connection, and develop a relationship with yourself that feels more grounded, authentic, and sustainable. As emotional awareness grows, many men find they experience greater clarity, resilience, confidence, and alignment - not only within themselves, but also within their relationships, careers, and communities. A Different Conversation About Men Over the years, Chanel has worked with hundreds of men from diverse backgrounds and walks of life, and supporting men's emotional wellbeing has become a meaningful area of specialization within her practice. She brings a deep respect for the complexity of men's inner worlds and understands that many men's experiences are often misunderstood, oversimplified, or mislabeled. What may appear as emotional distance, avoidance, or disinterest is often connected to much deeper stories around safety, vulnerability, responsibility, and belonging. Rather than focusing on what is "wrong," this work is rooted in curiosity, compassion, and understanding. Chanel creates a space where emotional depth, sensitivity, and authenticity are welcomed - without judgment, shame, or pressure to be anything other than who you are. What We Can Support Emotional overwhelm and stress Relationship and intimacy challenges Attachment patterns Anxiety and burnout Self-worth and confidence Emotional disconnection and numbness Life transitions and identity shifts Nervous system health and resilience Men's emotional and mental wellbeing Whether you're seeking support for a specific challenge or simply feel called to understand yourself more deeply, this is a space where your experience matters. Sessions are available in-person and online. https://www.theselfworthlounge.com/faq daily 0.75 2026-04-06 https://www.theselfworthlounge.com/services-overview daily 0.75 2026-06-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c1034a7fd1185ce0bf4448/1649696410652-ZX9QHB653XISUFB5GUJR/shutterstock_2087173177.jpg Our Services: Confidence Coaching for Personal Growth https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c1034a7fd1185ce0bf4448/1649697134853-M570W73K7UKWBI6SHAER/shutterstock_1606081759.jpg Our Services: Confidence Coaching for Personal Growth https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c1034a7fd1185ce0bf4448/be10c79a-49e7-4b35-9e37-1ceb20faf44b/DSC_0597.jpg Our Services: Confidence Coaching for Personal Growth https://www.theselfworthlounge.com/wholeistic daily 0.75 2026-06-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c1034a7fd1185ce0bf4448/bdce28e4-1208-4175-9f22-eebf08b7b02e/iStock-1995177642.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c1034a7fd1185ce0bf4448/3cd3d49a-0649-44a2-b099-355f080a9990/IMG_0760+2.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c1034a7fd1185ce0bf4448/96260030-fe4b-4208-ba8d-e4446edf7812/IMG_0762.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c1034a7fd1185ce0bf4448/dde8c486-ac07-47af-b008-0d3c45d40e54/DSC_1758.jpg Integrative Healing for Woman - I created this practice after noticing a gap in traditional therapies-where cognitive approaches, behaviour-focused tools, mindset coaching for women, and spiritual teachings were rooted in a male-biased perspective of biology. These methods had myself, and so many others, in a vicious cycle of continuously asking the question “What’s wrong with me and why aren’t I getting better?” For many women, this body of work is about feeling what was denied-what was once shamed, silenced, or not allowed to be expressed. It’s about reclaiming the parts of ourselves that were hidden, suppressed, or ignored, and integrating them as intrinsic allies. - Chanel https://www.theselfworthlounge.com/enroll daily 0.75 2024-09-06 https://www.theselfworthlounge.com/session-bookings daily 0.75 2026-06-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c1034a7fd1185ce0bf4448/15bfade5-8d4d-420f-888b-16ebc98f522b/Somatic+Therapy+Vancouver https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c1034a7fd1185ce0bf4448/fa89f8c7-26bd-4f9e-99eb-29a6f35b02a9/IMG_0766.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c1034a7fd1185ce0bf4448/326a56b5-dd99-434b-8852-94915bd26cf0/IMG_0767.jpg https://www.theselfworthlounge.com/welcome daily 0.75 2026-03-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/189ef269-62dc-4d6f-8bc2-c40884b9bf08/Aro+Ha_0380.jpg https://www.theselfworthlounge.com/policies-and-liabilities daily 0.75 2026-04-10 https://www.theselfworthlounge.com/breath-with-chanel daily 0.75 2024-11-03 https://www.theselfworthlounge.com/breathwork-waiver daily 0.75 2026-03-24 https://www.theselfworthlounge.com/breathwork-themes daily 0.75 2026-03-24 https://www.theselfworthlounge.com/somatic-witch-tarot daily 0.75 2026-03-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1755104761375-XV498JLYCKC6HYYVMMY4/imgg-demo-ewtBxNR1.png Somatic Witch Tarot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1755104761379-TIRHCMLJ6GGCY0R4YTU4/imgg-demo-EpGLe4Je.png Somatic Witch Tarot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1755104761381-D6G5KDD7KCUVE3VV50LN/imgg-demo-tEzGM8aH.png Somatic Witch Tarot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1755104761384-Y5I80W4BECCWD37NQYFP/imgg-demo-C59XbaOt.png Somatic Witch Tarot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1755104781616-ZEM8L209EABQAFI2ZOZ0/imgg-demo-qs29Y0Ih.jpg Somatic Witch Tarot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1755104781619-EPI4TWEZ3AG1N10L9UIC/imgg-demo-nLRbokBp.jpg Somatic Witch Tarot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1755104781623-DGTAO9NX3OTYBHTTBTMJ/imgg-demo-dr4UJ5bT.jpg Somatic Witch Tarot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1755104781626-M1SKQ61NMXC540MDKFD4/imgg-demo-nD6Pzw4T.jpg Somatic Witch Tarot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c1034a7fd1185ce0bf4448/49495e64-1788-4180-92bb-9beee8209de4/IMG_3659.jpg https://www.theselfworthlounge.com/store daily 0.75 2023-10-19 https://www.theselfworthlounge.com/store/p/medicine-journey-integration monthly 0.5 2026-02-10 https://www.theselfworthlounge.com/store/p/breathwork-reiki-for-grounding-stability-and-sacred-action monthly 0.5 2026-02-10 https://www.theselfworthlounge.com/store/p/medicine-journey-integration-for-healing-and-wellbeing monthly 0.5 2026-02-10 https://www.theselfworthlounge.com/store/p/intuitive-tarot-breathwork-for-the-mystics monthly 0.5 2026-02-10 https://www.theselfworthlounge.com/store/p/medicine-journey-preparation-integration-for-healing-and-wellbeing monthly 0.5 2026-02-10 https://www.theselfworthlounge.com/store/p/preferred-client-sale monthly 0.5 2024-12-26 https://www.theselfworthlounge.com/store/p/10-class-breathwork-pass monthly 0.5 2024-10-29 https://www.theselfworthlounge.com/store/p/personalized-integrative-bundle-1 monthly 0.5 2024-10-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c1034a7fd1185ce0bf4448/1715876526598-0J58LJPVCG08V9EBV7GX/Nature+wisdom+.png Shop Somatic Experience Therapist Services - The Wholeistic Practice (6 sessions / 75 minutes) https://www.theselfworthlounge.com/store/p/community-reset monthly 0.5 2024-10-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c1034a7fd1185ce0bf4448/60ad2a91-767f-466b-a053-bf8bc1c9c2fa/DSC_0377.jpg Shop Somatic Experience Therapist Services - Vancouver Workshops - A holistic and somatic experience therapist approach to gut health https://www.theselfworthlounge.com/store/p/the-wholeistic-practice monthly 0.5 2025-02-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c1034a7fd1185ce0bf4448/1669842451167-EEROD6FDJ3OR05SZEX8R/shutterstock_2087173177.jpg Shop Somatic Experience Therapist Services - The Wholeistic Practice (6 sessions) https://www.theselfworthlounge.com/store/p/5-week-11-bundle monthly 0.5 2025-02-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c1034a7fd1185ce0bf4448/1669843150384-VET0XYZYVUU9V8Y9F4AI/shutterstock_1606081759.jpg Shop Somatic Experience Therapist Services - The Wholeistic Practice (12 sessions) https://www.theselfworthlounge.com/store/p/10-week-11-bundle monthly 0.5 2025-02-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c1034a7fd1185ce0bf4448/1669843027269-SNJ6KJGNUD0UNW5I5QZX/DSC_1755.jpg Shop Somatic Experience Therapist Services - The Wholeistic Practice (5 sessions)
