Meet Kendra

Kendra supports individuals in healing from eating disorders, disordered eating, sexual trauma, and PTSD, helping them create a safe space within their minds and bodies. Trauma can disrupt one’s sense of self, often leading to coping mechanisms such as unhealthy eating habits and perfectionism. Together, you and Kendra will work to identify patterns and make changes that lead to a more balanced life.

Using guided reflection, creative strategies, and gentle humour, Kendra helps you make connections between behaviours, emotions, and thoughts. She believes that it’s not simply nature versus nurture, but a combination of both that shapes who we are. Kendra incorporates feminist theory into her practice, advocating for gender equity and challenging the restrictive gender norms often tied to trauma and eating disorders.

In addition to her work with trauma and eating disorders, Kendra offers hypnotherapy as a powerful tool for personal growth. Whether you’re seeking to overcome emotional blocks, break free from limiting habits, or cultivate self-confidence and compassion, hypnotherapy provides a pathway for exploration and transformation. Connecting with your subconscious can lead to new insights and lasting change.

An adventurer at heart, Kendra loves getting lost in new places, getting immersed in a good book, and trying out Thai cuisine. She’s an animal lover with experience as a veterinary assistant and wildlife rehabilitator in Costa Rica. Both in her work with clients and in her own life, Kendra is dedicated to inspiring holistic growth and helping you rediscover your true self.

Q&A

What does good mental health look like to you?
Good mental health is like tending to a garden. Everyone’s garden is different. Some have cacti others have orchids. Sometimes they’re thriving and sometimes overrun with weeds. Therapy can help maintain the flowers that already exist or start to dig up weeds that are preventing new growth.
What would you say to a friend struggling with a mental health issue?
Shall we process or problem-solve this?
What is a motto or idea that gives you reassurance when you’re having a difficult time?
"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." -Maya Angelou
