"In the 25 plus years I’ve known Bella I’ve always admired and respected her continued thirst for knowledge of both a personal and professional nature. She has always been an honest and trustworthy friend throughout the highs and lows of my life. With her path in sight she has trudged forward in her quest to gain insight into the workings of the mind. Her gentle curiosity and mutual respect for people of all walks of life make her a tremendous gift to all who allow her to work with them as they gain better insight into themselves. She's a true teacher and student of life."

“I saw your 'kind words' section, it was lovely to read and know that every word of it reminded me of our work together at UBC” ~ (colleague at UBC Counselling Services 2013)
"Bella & Kaya came highly recommended to me. When we first started working together, I was in a lot of pain because of trauma I experienced as a child and teenager. Although I was no longer living in those awful situations, I continued to play out the patterns of the trauma in my adult life. Bella helped me process my difficult past, recognize my triggers and end the painful cycles... Now I'm thrilled to say I have improved my quality of life and truly feel happier and that I am flourishing mentally, physically, emotionally, as well as spiritually for the first time in my life! THANK YOU BELLA" ~ (Client 2014)

"Bella understood my pain, she is kind, compassionate and listened to me. With her help I was able to go from the darkest moments in my life, to getting out of my own way, to living a happy and fulfilling life. You can do it too. Bella will believe in you!" ~ (Client 2021)
"Bella was recommended to me.. i have never felt so much inner peace in the presence of another person. I was able to rest my mind and speak from my heart for the first time in my life, without feeling judged or unwanted.. I felt safe with Bella. I felt known. For the first time in my life, I now understand what real healing is.
By the time I left my appointment, we were laughing and the world seemed brighter. After, I felt healed in a way I did not know I needed. Bella will remain a vivid part in my memory." ~ (Client 2025) |
