Who is your yoga instructor?
Jess Perez, certified yoga instructor with a focus on trauma-sensitive practices, current Master of Counselling student.
Jess has been practicing yoga for 15 years. After experiencing the benefits for her mind, body, and soul, she decided to take a teacher training course six years ago and has been teaching ever since. She loves seeing how people embark on their journey of introspection and learn to view themselves through a new and empowering lens. Her classes emphasize attunement that helps people move out of their minds and into their bodies, facilitating day-to-day activities and navigating challenges with ease. With Jess, you will learn how to practice yoga asanas on the mat so that you can take the yoga practice with you wherever you go.
An avid traveler who has visited more than 50 countries, Jess is always on the lookout for the best places to practice her favorite sports like rock climbing, mountain biking, and snowboarding. She believes that yoga’s emphasis on mindfulness, flexibility, and strength directly improves her performance in these activities, and she enjoys sharing these benefits with students.
Currently pursuing a master’s in counseling, Jess is expanding her knowledge of the healing arts of talk therapy to combine it with somatic practices and work one-on-one with clients. Jess loves to chat about yoga, travel, or outdoor sports before or after class. | |

Who is your yoga instructor?
Jess Perez, certified yoga instructor with a focus on trauma-sensitive practices, current Master of Counselling student.
Jess has been practicing yoga for 15 years. After experiencing the benefits for her mind, body, and soul, she decided to take a teacher training course six years ago and has been teaching ever since. She loves seeing how people embark on their journey of introspection and learn to view themselves through a new and empowering lens. Her classes emphasize attunement that helps people move out of their minds and into their bodies, facilitating day-to-day activities and navigating challenges with ease. With Jess, you will learn how to practice yoga asanas on the mat so that you can take the yoga practice with you wherever you go.
An avid traveler who has visited more than 50 countries, Jess is always on the lookout for the best places to practice her favorite sports like rock climbing, mountain biking, and snowboarding. She believes that yoga’s emphasis on mindfulness, flexibility, and strength directly improves her performance in these activities, and she enjoys sharing these benefits with students.
Currently pursuing a master’s in counseling, Jess is expanding her knowledge of the healing arts of talk therapy to combine it with somatic practices and work one-on-one with clients. Jess loves to chat about yoga, travel, or outdoor sports before or after class. | |

About Mercy:
Supervisor: Tala El-Achkar
Life can sometimes feel like an uphill climb, especially when you are
carrying the weight of unresolved relationship issues, anxiety, low self-esteem, or navigating the twists and turns of life transitions. I understand how isolating and overwhelming these struggles can be. Having grown up in a family affected by relationship conflict and navigating life in a new country, I understand how challenges can shape us. These experiences inspire my work as a therapist to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported as you navigate life’s complexities.
As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and MA in Counselling Psychology student under clinical supervision, I support individuals through life’s challenges using integrative, humanistic, psychodynamic, and solution-focused techniques. I offer a compassionate space for you to explore your inner world and heal at your own pace. I respect that you are the expert in your life, and together, we’ll honour your experiences, explore your inner world, and foster healing aligned with your goals to create the changes you seek.
If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about your next steps, you do not have to face it alone. I invite you to reach out for a complimentary 30-minute consultation to explore your challenges and what's holding you back and work together to find a way forward that honours your unique needs. I am here, ready to support you on your journey, one step at a time. | |

My diverse approach integrates a variety of techniques, drawing from psychodynamic therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy humanistic client-centered therapy, solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness practices that incorporate somatic components to address trauma stored in the body. These various modalities enable me to customize our sessions so that I can best support each person.
I am currently a student at Yorkville University, and an intern completing my practicum under the supervision of Jadon Ward. I am a member of the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC). I have worked in a variety of environments, most recently in non-profit and education. I also spent several years working in the tech and oil and gas industries..
I am passionate about representative care, and as someone who is neurodivergent, my goal is to create a safe space where clients can find their strengths and foster resilience. Through self-reflection and guidance in a supportive environment, we will navigate life's complexities together, uncovering strategies and tools to foster healing, personal growth, and the ability to thrive and lead fulfilling lives. | |

| ...Suqil9nW0wIxmJ6T5KT3m3viKldQ&oe=68377CD3 | Welcome Gabrielle Ferguson to our volunteer counselling team.
About Gabrielle Ferguson:
Hello, my name is Gabrielle and I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and an Intern Therapist. My drive to become a psychotherapist was sparked when I found myself in the midst of life’s challenges and it was the support, understanding, and guidance from others that allowed me to move through and move forward with my life and I am passionate about providing this support to others. My lived experience and formal training allows me to enter the therapeutic space with a non-judgmental and empathetic approach where I aim to understand who you are as a person and build on the strengths you possess to help you move through whatever challenges you are facing. My approach to therapy is rooted in a collaborative approach where we focus on strengths and empowerment that is based in respect, empathy, and personalized care.
I am an ADHD Certified Clinical Service Provider and also specialize in assisting individuals living with addictions and concurrent disorders, as well as their families. In addition to this I am trained in supporting individuals with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, stress management, single-parenting, and parallel parenting.
If you want to know more about what our work together would look like I offer free 15-minute consultations. I look forward to speaking with you when you are ready. | |
