Meet Marijana!
Marijana is a licensed registered clinical counsellor who integrates science and spirit in her approach to healing relational and intergenerational trauma. With over 20 years of experience, she weaves together cutting edge trauma-informed modalities from somatic psychology, attachment-based therapy, interpersonal neurobiology, relational psychodynamic therapy and liberation psychology together with gentle, but powerful embodied meditation practices to support the body's innate intelligence, capacity to heal trauma and re-embody wholeness . At the core of Marijana's work is her desire to help others transform an inheritance of hurt into a foundation of resilience, inner security, embodied presence and true belonging.
Marijana has advanced certification in individual/group EMDR therapy, Somatic Attachment Psychotherapy, Compassionate Inquiry and the Realization Process (an 18 month Meditation, Embodiment and Spiritual Psychotherapy training that blends eastern philosophical wisdom with western psychology to awaken to nondual realization and heal trauma in the body). She has been engaged in an advanced realization process mentorship program over the past 3 years and has been a committed meditation student for the past several years with a daily hour+long nondual meditation practice. Marijana resides in North Burnaby, British Columbia with her two teen children and Bernedoodle — dedicated to co-creating a heart-centred, purposeful, resilient and vibrant life.
