About me

Mental health isn’t a flaw to fix—it’s often a reflection of where safety was never granted, and where reconnection is now possible.

 

Welcome!

Hi, I’m Lea Morrison—mama and bonus parent to four, dog mom, and proud survivor of a starter marriage (spoiler: found real love the second time around). I’ve got a large red birthmark the size of a continent on the back of my leg, a deep spiritual connection to 90s music, and an unhealthy relationship with salt and vinegar chips. I laugh loud, curse often, and have a party trick that involves seeing people’s energy in color—yes, really. Once upon a time, I even moonlighted as a sports bookie (my twenties were wild). Oh, and in case it needs stating: pineapple absolutely belongs on pizza, you cannot convince me otherwise.

I’m an introverted extrovert—a walking contradiction who loves staying home in cozy socks but also hates missing out on the fun. FOMO is real. But more than anything, I’m here to connect from the heart. I lead with sensitivity (and I take pride in it). I believe feeling deeply is a birthright, not something to hide or apologize for. It’s what makes us human. After navigating a lifetime of adversity and complex trauma, I’ve come to understand healing not as a destination, but a relationship with yourself, your body, and your story. I’m here to walk alongside you as you begin (or continue) doing the same.

My story

As a counsellor, trauma educator, coach, and somatic energetic healer, I support individuals who have felt dismissed, unseen, or overwhelmed—especially within the very systems that were meant to help them or keep them safe. With over a decade of experience, I have observed how conventional approaches can fall short for those with complex stories. I believe that true healing begins when we are met with curiosity rather than judgment, and when autonomy is honored as a central part of the process. My work focuses on restoring self-trust, agency, and dignity through heart-centered, trauma & shame-informed care.

Through trauma education, somatic integration, chronic stress recovery, and vibrational healing, I offer a deeply relational and personalized approach to healing—one that’s informed by both professional experience and my own lived journey with complex trauma. I support individuals navigating the complexities of mental health, not as a fixed identity, but as a natural and adaptive response to life experiences and transitions. This includes postnatal recovery, relationship ruptures, burnout, abuse recovery, and the emotional shifts that can arise during perimenopause and menopause. I also work closely with men who are untangling long-held patterns, rebuilding self-trust, and redefining what strength means on their terms. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready to reconnect with yourself, our work together will honour your story, your pace, and your capacity to heal.

This commitment to accessible, heart-centered care also led me to create Mind Your Heart Academy—a trauma-informed education platform offering resources and programs for those on a personal recovery journey who may shy away from traditional therapy, as well as for corporate teams and nonprofit professional groups seeking to build safer, more emotionally attuned spaces within their communities.

Born and raised in Coquitlam, BC, I now live and work in the beautiful Okanagan Valley. I offer in-person sessions in Kelowna, as well as virtual sessions for clients across British Columbia, Canada, and internationally. Whether you’re navigating a turning point, carrying something heavy, or simply ready to reconnect with yourself—this work is here to meet you, exactly where you are.

How

Working with me you get a little bit of everything. We connect with somatic practices that allow you to recognize and integrate emotion through your body, while deep diving into your autonomic nervous system (fight or flight) coping patterns with compassion and curiosity. We explore boundaries, core beliefs, language, impact, and awareness through a post traumatic growth mindset allowing a space for your coping strategies to expand into safety patterns, expanding your capacity to experience life.

Just as some of you are guided by your faith and religion, I am a spiritual student of vibration. I witness the sounds and vibrations of energy when you speak of your pain. Leaning in with intuition allows my senses to guide care with extensive trauma, shame-informed safety and language, teaching empowerment over suffering.

Inclusive access and care

My office is fully inclusive, trauma, shame-informed and open to all who seek growth & support. My clientele range has consisted of abuse survivors, actors, spiritualists & religious persons, professional athletes, first responders, naturopathic & general physicians, counsellors, single parents, CEO’s, and persons in recovery, the young and elderly, from all corners of the world.
