Gilly has spent the majority of her life learning and working with a bodymind approach to healing.  She has a virtual and in-person private practise for individuals and couples, and offers workshops online and in-person. 

Gilly’s education is varied, the 1980’s were spent at the University of Calgary in Nursing, Psychology and Education. Leaving the traditional world of academia, she travelled to New York, and in 2000 was certified in the Rubenfeld Synergy Method. Since then, she has studied in Canada and the US in: CranioSacral Upledger, Psycho Drama and Gestalt.  She has taught a number of workshops in North America ranging from: 

• Tools for Healing Trauma 
• Bodymind Golf 
• Shadow Work 
• Evolution Ergonomics 
• Enrich Your Life

Gilly has developed the Somatic Affective Talk & Touch (SATT) training program to address the gap that exists when there is talk and no touch (mind) and when there is touch and no talk (body).  This approach allows for both physical and emotional healing.  SATT is based on western medical science and eastern belief, through an integration of alternative therapies.

In addition to her education and experience in bodymind therapies, Gilly’s experience as the first woman White Water raft guide in Canada gave her the confidence to guide people to enjoy the calm waters and wild waves that are the river of life. In 2008, she co-founded: UR Building Knowledge, a not-for-profit that raises money to help build schools and medical clinics in Myanmar.

Curiosity and creativity have fuelled Gilly’s interest in learning and teaching about the enigma that is humanity.
