Therapy for the deep feelers, the sensitive souls, the women who carry so much.

You're intuitive, self aware and often the one others come to.

You've done the inner work. You can name the patterns.

But your body still holds what your mind has long understood.

Insight hasn't been enough. You're ready for something deeper.

Individual Counselling Sessions for Women

This is depth work. Sessions move slower than weekly talk therapy and go deeper. We work with the nervous system, with what's held in the body, with the parts of you that learned to stay safe or small. Modalities include Brainspotting, IFS, focusing-oriented therapy, and somatic, relational practice. We meet at your pace, with warmth and curiosity, trusting your body's own intelligence to guide what comes next.

Clinical Supervision

CRPO clinical and group supervision for therapists who want to do this work in a deeply relational, embodied way. We don't only talk about your client work, we also do the work. We slow down, notice what activates you, explore who you're willing to be with yourself because that's what shapes who you can be with clients.

Currently accepting individual supervisees and group members.

About Krista Huyer

Hi I am Krista! (she/her)

I'm a Registered Psychotherapist and Clinical Counsellor serving women in Ontario and British Columbia. My approach is somatic, relational, and depth-oriented, blending intuition, evidence, and a lot of heart.

What I love most about this work is the slow, careful unfolding. The moments where a woman starts to soften toward herself. Where the body finally exhales after years of bracing. Where the old, conditioned voice gets quieter and the truer one gets louder. I love witnessing the version of you that's been waiting underneath, and being the steady presence as you make your way back to her.
This work is tender and it's also real. There can be tears, and there can be a lot of laughter. I'll meet you with warmth, curiosity, and a willingness to go where the work wants to go.

I'd love to know you.

A little birthday weekend getaway to a quiet little mountain town.
Im happy to start sharing more of my life here, she’s a private gal ya’ll. But after what I’d like to deem the HARDEST year of my freaking life…(that’s dramatic.. I’ve had much harder HA) I’m here and looking forward to integrating all the lessons learned.
To 37 times around the sun 🎈

Therapist, but make it cosmic ✨
Capricorn Sun = grounded & structured
Pisces Moon = feels everything
Leo Rising = warm, expressive, a little dramatic
INFJ + Projector = sees patterns you didn’t know were patterns
Enneagram 2w3 = nurtures and cheers you on

I hold space, connect dots, and help you step into your power with structure, intuition, and a bit of cosmic flair.

lol this was fun!

It’s not lost on me that having access to these kinds of supports is an immense privilege. To live in a city with exceptional practitioners and healers, and to have the resources to try different modalities. I never take that for granted.

I’ve also learned that while therapy is incredible for insight, awareness, and shifting long held patterns, it isn’t the whole picture. Sometimes the body needs additional support for the needle to really move. Things like acupuncture, osteopathy, eating enough (especially carbs), movement my body actually enjoys, energy work, and honouring my circadian rhythm have all supported my nervous system in ways talk therapy alone couldn’t.

This is also why I incorporate so much body-based understanding in sessions. Why we slow down, why we do somatic work, why we make space for sensation, breath, and regulation. Because insight lands differently when the body feels safe enough to receive it, and sometimes we need someone to guide our body through that. We are not separate in our whole body wellness, this work often needs to be done together.

I know this can feel like another thing to add onto your plate, and I don’t want you to come away from this thinking.. great another thing I gotta do. But rather viewing it from a place of awareness that there are a lot of supports out there to help you along this challenging thing called life.

Are there other supports you’ve tried that were so impactful?

Ah yes, the very specific blend of feminine rage and awakening. The kind that hits you when you realize how much of your life was shaped by beliefs that were never actually yours.

And what a taboo post right? A therapist talking about what makes her angry. But that’s the whole point. We have not been given permission to get honest with a really natural, beautiful emotion. An emotion that invokes change,authenticity and connection to your truest self.

This is the part where you stop abandoning yourself, shrinking and pretending. Where you finally hear your voice again, and it might be loud, kind of nerve wracking and SO JUICY. But I’ll bet you’ve heard her before, down deep in your body. She’s ready when you are, darling.

Anything relate, or things you would add? I’d love to hear it! If this feels like way too much, also listen to that. I’d be honoured to support you through these challenging shake ups in our lives.

Therapy with me- with some humour, tears, curiosity, presence and sparkle.

And I adore you, I mean it.

Pt 2- Id been pushing myself to heal. Still limping, minor pain, stressors playing in my life that were calling me to make changes (don’t we all) and some frustration in this state. The ego was loud- it’s time to move the dial.

But then 3 weeks ago, I was out for a walk. I was pretty proud of myself- out early, Fitbit going to prove how much cardio I was getting, weighted vest, feminine rage music blasting- vibinnggg. 30 seconds from my house, I stepped off the curb and fell. Again. Hard. Rolled the opposite ankle and landed on my still healing leg. Excuse my French but… what the actual fuck?!

8 hours in the ER, I thankfully learned nothing was rebroken but the shock, fear, grief and defeat cracked me open. How could this have happened again? I’ll spare you the self pity party- it wasn’t pretty- but this felt unfair.

Let’s talk about it though 🧡 Why was my body bringing me this again when I was so ready for change? Bad luck?sure, shit happens. But discomfort is always an opportunity to learn and grow, and the voice inside got so loud, coaxing me to look at some beliefs I was gripping onto. I had to think about some of my actions differently.

It’s not that I wasn’t doing things ‘right’, but my intention wasn’t coming from within. I was pushing myself to please others. Moving to prove. I wanted change..faster. And beneath it all I had to face some truths -An addiction to my own suffering and the drama that comes with it was my programmed sense of safety.. UGH! 🤯😤

But what better way to learn this then through a tough experience. So here we are again- old energy clearing so new energy can enter and my body is the vessel. If she isn’t ready to hold new beliefs and actions, she’ll do what she wants to bring me back to safety. It’s humbling when life hands you the same lessons, it aint a straight line! But maybe that’s what love looks like- the body refusing to let us abandon ourselves again. We learn to listen, to soften to the inner voice and let it show us what we actually need. Not what our ego needs!
The experience is about returning to ourselves again and again, remembering our bodies deep intelligence. Because how COOL is that?! It always knows.

Following last weeks post on our body knowing-I introduce the story of February 2025.

I had been navigating some deep soul work at the time. My ego had been inflamed, I was working through some conditioned beliefs that needed to go, working with ancestral traumas in my body. And I was having a hard time communicating with and accepting my body. But I was pushing through… doing the work. And then I fell. A walk across the street to a yoga class on an icy day. A distal pilon fracture (tibia and fibia) needing immediate surgery with a plate and five screws, and an estimated year long recovery. Ooph.

I’d never experienced a broken bone before, but the strangest thing happened..I felt so calm. I had such a deep knowing from my body that this was somehow here for me that my body needed some time to recalibrate and rest. I needed space and time with myself to work through these things- and I was just given it. Was it easy? No no NO. It brought up some deep challenges within: Learning to accept help without being able to return the favor, I felt like a burden. I had to say no to events and friends, and sit with the intensity of that ache. I also learned that I thought I knew stillness and inner trust, but this took it to a whole new layer, and that pushed my ego to learn a new definition of surrender. I learned that my body had been craving a deep rest far greater than what I had been giving it prior. It wanted a different relationship with me- and I hadn’t been hearing it fully.

My body knew, as she always does, what I actually needed during that season of my life. It took a dramatic way to learn it but it kept whispering that this was all going to be OK so I leaned in, I let my body rest. I learned how to communicate with her again. I healed and let my body come back online.

But underneath all those good things.. stuff was still brewing, I started believing that I had ‘done my time’- now all of the things I wanted for my life, my health and my body could finally happen. I did the rest. I did the stillness and surrender. I listened. I learned the LESSONS the universe was giving me. I should be getting everything I deserve now, right? RIGHT?!

Pt 2 coming..

Babe, your body knows everything. It’s aware of all of your moods, the emotions running through. It’s aware of the limited, conditioned beliefs that run amuck in the background. It’s even aware of all the unconscious thoughts that we aren’t aware of.

Thats why it’s so intelligent, thats why it’s always talking to us. Always trying to get our attention to let us know it needs to be taken care of, fed, supported, listened to. It lets us know it’s unhappy with a decision we might have made with that dread, sinking feeling. Or it lets us know that other decision felt so good with the light ease that floats through. It lets us know when someone isn’t safe for us. It lets us know when it’s time to dig up the repressed emotion. It lets us know when we are living out of alignment, when we are out balance.

Sometimes, its symptoms. Loud, annoying symptoms- hormone imbalance, gut health, weight gain. Sometimes it is super subtle like low energy, muscle aches or a mini headache.

And what a gift.
Honour that body, listen to your body. It’s your clearest access point to all of the information you could need.

Group supervision for the therapists who want to build a community, learn from other like minded woman, and enhance their skills. We have a thriving group and would love to welcome in whoever else feels called.

This is about so much more than just getting your hours in. This can be an isolating career, and it’s so important you ALSO feel heard and supported.

Looking forward to connecting with you.

People pleasing- so much more than just making sure others like us.

It is rooted in a survival mechanism, something we learned to stay safe within our bodies. It often comes when our nervous system feels threat and we learn that we can quickly move discomfort away if we make sure everyone else is ok. I mean.. having others upset with us doesn’t feel good, that makes so much sense. But this can turn into chronic self betrayal if we aren’t careful.

In our work to move from people pleasing we need to slowly tune into our bodies cues when it feels danger and practice regulating and choosing self. Take small steps to practice saying no, to recognize the cues your body is giving you and that sacred pause before making a decision.

Have you thought of people pleasing as a safety mechanism before?

Hiiii, it’s me again. I haven’t taken many pics the last couple years, so this one’s doing the heavy lifting. 😅
A little reintroduction:
I’m a therapist, supervisor, and holistic nutritionist. I recently created an online women’s community because I believe we heal best when we’re witnessed in community. I felt a nudge to start it, followed it… and honestly? I’m figuring it out as I go. If you wanna explore, learn, cry, and play, please come join us!

Over the years, my therapist hat has shifted. I love to go deep and I believe healing has to include the body. That can be uncomfortable sometimes, and is totally okay. We will meet you where you are at! But since I ask others to go deep, I also have to show up that way.

Lately, more intuition and spirituality have been dripping into my life. I’m not sure where it’s going yet, but I’m here for the ride. 👀

I love stillness, solitude, nature… I might actually be a tree. So if you see me out in the world -no you didn’t -because I’m a tree. 🌳

I talk to my body every day. I ask her how she’s doing, what she needs. She’s loud (after 30+ years of being ignored) but it’s pretty amazing to hear what she has to say now.

I’m 99.9% sure I’m here to be a mother. It hasn’t happened yet, but nurturing women lights me up and I’m obsessed with the ones who cross my path. The meme of therapists being bummed they can’t be friends with their clients is legit.

Someone recently told me I’m a plant momma and should be working with flowers (again: see tree 🌿).

The one thing I truly despise? Wasabi.

I’m currently obsessed with all things wild woman, boundaries, sensuality, and feminine essence. It’s juicyyy and I could talk about it for hours.

The theme “be seen” keeps showing up in my own healing tied to work, health, thyroid, body wisdom, and all my relationships. I have a “GUHHHH” reaction every time. I’m still exploring what it means to be seen beyond social media stay tuned as I navigate this space.
That’s me! Your wild woman therapist 😘

✨ The Body & Belonging Collective ✨
A slower, deeper space for women to return to themselves.

Instagram hasn’t felt like a nourishing place for me anymore for quite a while.
It moves so fast. It thrives on urgency. A 10 second sound bite isn’t hitting my soul like Im desiring. And it often feels like there’s no space for the kind of depth and connection I truly care about. I’m craving true community.

So I created a Collective. A private, intentional Mighty Network for women who are craving something more rooted.
More real.
More supportive of our nervous systems, our bodies, our cycles, and our hearts.

In a world that pushes us to go faster, do more, and stay disconnected from ourselves…
I wanted to offer a space that invites the opposite.

Inside The Collective, you’ll find:
🌿 Nervous system & somatic tools
🌸 Holistic wellness, food, herbs, and cycle wisdom
🌀 Support around self-connection, feminine energy, womb work & inner healing
💬 Community conversations, reflection prompts & presence-based learning
🫶 A place to slow down and not do it alone

Because women are meant to heal in connection.
Not through endless self-improvement, but through being witnessed, supported, and reminded that our softness is a strength.

✨ One-time entry: $25
No ads, no overwhelm, no pressure. Just a grounded space to return to yourself, alongside others doing the same. It isn’t therapy, but I’d argue it could be even more potent, and I’m excited to dive deeper with those that feel called.

The link is in my bio - I’d love to welcome you in. 🤍

The Present Pause: A Gathering

Life moves fast. Too fast. Most of us know we need to slow down, breathe, and be present… but let’s be honest-actually doing it? That’s the hard part.

Maybe you’re feeling overwhelmed. Maybe your nervous system is running on fumes. Maybe you just need a moment of stillness, but you don’t know how to get there.

That’s why I’m offering The Present Pause: A Gathering. A free, gentle space to pause, reconnect, and remember how to be here, now. We’ll practice simple somatic tools to ground ourselves, regulate emotions, and move through life with a little more ease. No pressure. No expectations. Just a moment to breathe. Bring your tea and a journal. Bring the intention JUST to pause.

💛 Come as you are. You don’t have to do this alone.

📅 Thursday, Feb 20, 7:30pm
📍 Online (google meet)
✨ Free & open to all

Drop a 💛 in the comments if this speaks to you, and I’ll send you the details. Or DM me to join. Let’s pause, together.

Truly, there’s no need. Your sensitivity isn’t a flaw or a mistake. It’s simply your system responding. You never have to apologize for feeling deeply or crying- that’s just your body’s natural way of releasing emotion.

You don’t need to feel shame for experiencing something more intensely or differently than someone else.

Now, this doesn’t mean we can react without care or that we don’t take responsibility if our emotions spill onto others. But feeling? That’s never wrong.

Let this sink in- your emotions, your sensitivity, your depth are not mistakes. You don’t need to apologize for them.

Be where your feet are. 🌿

In a world that constantly pulls us in a thousand directions, it’s easy to lose touch with the present moment. But your body is always here, waiting to anchor you back to now.

Grounding is a simple yet powerful way to reconnect with your environment and find calm amidst the chaos. Try this:

✨ Take a deep breath.
✨ Press your feet firmly into the ground—notice the texture beneath you.
✨ Look around and name 5 things you can see, 4 things you can touch, 3 things you can hear, 2 things you can smell, and 1 thing you can taste.

When we slow down and truly notice our surroundings, we give our minds permission to rest. It’s not about escaping the moment—it’s about returning to it.

How do you ground yourself when life feels overwhelming? Let me know below—I’d love to learn from you. 💛

Prompts to ask your body. Writing can help you tune into your inner wisdom.

Pause. Breathe. Ask yourself what you need right now. #nervoussystemregulation #nervoussystemregulation #moveemotion #somatic #fullbodymove #holisticwellness

Do you ever feel like the world is just... more intense for you? Like you notice the things others don’t, feel emotions deeply, and sometimes need extra time to recharge? 💛

These might be signs you’re a deep feeler:
🌿 You experience emotions intensely—both yours and others.
🌿 You’re deeply empathetic and can often sense how others are feeling.
🌿 Crowded spaces, loud environments, or chaotic energy can leave you drained.
🌿 You have a strong connection to beauty, creativity, and the little details others might overlook.
🌿 You crave meaningful connection and avoid shallow interactions.

While these traits can feel overwhelming at times, they’re also your superpowers. Deep feelers often bring compassion, creativity, and a profound sense of connection to the world around them. We actually need more of you!

But I know it’s not always easy—living with such an open heart can feel like too much at times. That’s why learning to embrace these traits and set boundaries to protect your energy is so important.

What resonates with you here? Do you see yourself in these signs?

I’m a DEEP feeler. And most of my clients are deep feelers. Empaths, highly sensitive. It’s so beautiful! How often have you been told you’re ‘too sensitive’? For so many of us, those words echo in our minds, making us question our worth.

But here’s the truth: Sensitivity is not a flaw- it’s a profound strength. It’s what allows you to feel deeply, connect authentically, and experience life in all its vibrance. The lows are definitely low, but oh how high those highs are. If you feel sadness stronger than someone else. You also feel joy on a grander scale.

Imagine how your life could change if you embraced this truth. Sensitivity is your superpower—it brings compassion to your relationships, creativity to your pursuits, and intuition to your decisions.

What do you love about being a deep feeler? 💛 Share below—I’d love to hear your story.

10 things I do each day without fail. Not easy! But these do make my life easier and I feel better. Showing up for myself in these ways also enhances my relationship to myself. Honouring our needs feels so loving and compassionate.💛

Please remember, we are all different. This is never going to be one size fits all. But perhaps some of these resonate for you and are worth a try. See how it feels in your body to add in something new to your day that simply makes you feel good.

Running group supervision is my favourite. It’s so great bringing together a community of like minded therapists. With an eagerness to learn, explore and expand together. While getting those CRPO hours done at the same time!

Does this sound like you? We would love to have you!

The debate on everything we see and hear today feels endless. Of course, we need concrete evidence and proof to make bold claims.

But this one.. this is simple.

Getting outside every single day is so so so good for you. It regulates your mood, hormones, nervous system. It supports circadian rhythm and the balance of your bodies energy.

Get outside. Every day

I talk about the value and importance of this at least once a day with clients. It’s just so crucial to building that relationship with ourself, cultivating trust and even just learning how to like ourself.

Notice what your body is saying, doing, feeling. Notice your environment. Notice the glimmers around you. Notice the sensation that is present. Notice the tension/pain/discomfort if that comes up.

And can you be CURIOUS of yourself, your experience. Curious of the moment. Curious what your body is trying to tell you. Circuits why it’s protecting you that way. Curious what it needs from you.

And then can you provide those needs. From a place of love and compassion ☺️

I find that more often than not a there is a theme that comes up in my personal life that also shows up with those I am working with. And what a gift that is, to be so connected to other humans and the world around us, that we can pick out common ground. Have the same reminders or something to pay attention too.

The one that is coming up a LOT these days, is PRESENSE. Learning how to be so unbelievably present with what is right in front of us. With being exactly where our feet are. Breathing in the space our body currently exists in.

The mind loves to pull us out into the past or future, and for good reason, it has learned to protect us that way. But learning to ground, orient to what is around us, what is happening right here is beyond powerful. This isn’t always easy, sometimes the present moment is heavy and dark and we have no choice but to move through whatever is IN your present space.

But oh man, the juiciness of letting life call you back to right here. Your soul, your essence, it thrives here.

Try it. Can you stop what you’re doing, pause, notice where you are and what’s happening in your exact moment and stay in that?

The pictures are to share my latest present moments. They are filled with nature, because it’s the best and often easiest way to bring ourselves home to the present. Enjoy.

Awe, wonder and fascination with the world around us, is such an underrated form of healing. Sure therapy, body work, changing your lifestyle is super important.. but this is free, easy and all around you.

Look at life through the eyes of child. And if there aren’t any around you, try to tap into your inner child’s eyes. We once saw the enchantment of the world around us. Curious and in awe with everything. Kids are naturally so present and that joy is palpable.

Can you pause today, and try to feel into what the present moment is like for little you? Notice what is there, the simple things right in front of you.

Who else loves therapy? 🙋🏼‍♀️🤍🤍

The purpose of therapy is endless. And it will be different for each person, and perhaps different at each phase of our life.

But I hope you feel heard and understood. I hope you learn deep self compassion that expands you more than you could imagine. I hope you learn that your past is not your present and that we CAN transform that with empathic witness and movement. I hope you feel truly held.

I now have availability for new clients. Contact me today- link in bio
