Carolyn Hapgood has worked in the counselling field since 1992, with adolescents and adults. As her career and education evolved, she realized that the body also has a “story” to tell in relation to stress, tension, emotional management and trauma. Carolyn pursued further education in a number of modalities that involve the body in wellness, healing and recovery. In 2012 she opened a private practice that utilizes numerous approaches to wellness. These approaches involve the mind, body, emotions and spirit.
