Veteran's Therapy

Why I Offer One Free Session to Veterans: A Personal Story

​

My commitment to supporting veterans is deeply personal. The effects of military-related trauma shaped my life from an early age. My father—a proud and courageous veteran—returned from service carrying invisible wounds. While he held himself with strength, the lasting impact of post-traumatic stress cast long shadows across our family life.

​

Growing up in the presence of that unspoken pain left a deep mark on me. It contributed to my own experience of childhood trauma and gave me an understanding—both personal and profound—of how unresolved emotional wounds can shape not just a person’s life, but the lives of those around them.

​

But from that pain, a sense of purpose emerged.

​

I dedicated myself to finding ways to help people like my dad—those who have served, who have given so much, and who often carry silent burdens. My work became focused on finding gentle, effective ways to release emotional pain without the need to relive the trauma.

That journey led me to explore a range of therapeutic approaches, including Integral Eye Movement Therapy and Visual Coding Displacement Therapy, and eventually to co-create The Manse Method®—a simple yet powerful technique that helps people shift how they feel about the past without having to talk through painful memories.

​

Healing is possible. I've seen it. I've experienced it. And I believe every veteran deserves that opportunity.

As a small but meaningful gesture, I offer one free session to veterans. It’s my way of honouring the courage and sacrifice of those who’ve served—and of paying forward the healing that has been such a vital part of my own journey.
