Pamyna Bourgeois - Essence of Life

Pamyna Bourgeois

Founder of Essence of Life Therapy

Registered Psychotherapist Qualifying + Certified Life Coach

I’m a human just like you and I am dedicated to helping you become the most authentic version of yourself.

I have over 15 years experience working in personal development and mental health.

As a psychotherapist who has worked with hundreds of clients, I have discovered that trauma, early childhood trauma, lack of connection with self, and unconscious patterns is usually what keeps us feeling stuck and dissatisfied with life.

With patience, compassion and safety, my aim is to help you rebuild and reclaim your sacred self-worth so you can begin living a life that feels authentic and meaningful.
