Magi Bowyer - Registered Counsellor - Cross Roads Naturopathic

The health of the whole person entails more than our physical wellbeing. We must also see to the inner self--the power of moods and emotions to influence the things we do and don't do, and how we do them.

Indeed, the things we do in life - our actions - are not limited to the physical. Perceptions, thinking, listening, deciding, speaking and relating to others-they are all forms of human action, and re-action, and we need to pay close attention to them.

And when it comes to moods and emotions, we are all learners.

Do the moods and emotions we experience enable us to live the lives we desire?
To what extent do our moods and emotions facilitate the enrichment and nourishment of our souls?
If we want to reach a robust and healthy old age--ninety or even one hundred-we must have emotional resilience, the ability to bounce back from life's setbacks.

Magdalen knows it is only through the exploration of our life experiences that we can find this resilience. To that end, she uplifts others by leading them back to their own fountain of replenishment. A balanced good-feeling life requires that we return and draw often from this source of vitality.

Through her work Magdalen inspires storytelling. Her skills awaken people to their own story and the possibilities of creating a better story. To create a better story, the most important voice to attend to is our own. Then we can step fully into what calls us.

Her academic career is grounded in Creative Writing, Applied Communication, Women's Studies and Transpersonal Psychology. She is a Registered Professional Counsellor with the Canadian Professional Counselling Association. She graduated from the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology (ITP) in 2001 with a Certificate in Women's Spiritual Development and returned for doctoral studies in 2007. She interns students in ITP's Transformational Coaching program and Royal Roads University's Executive Coaching program; she is an Associate Coach at the University of British Columbia. She completed her Master of Arts in Applied Communication from Royal Roads University in 2006 and she is a Certified Executive Coach accredited by the International Coach Federation. She also specializes in Creativity Coaching.

Magdalen offers her clients psycho-spiritual counselling with a coach-approach for inner growth, creativity & intentional action. To live well, these are some of the areas that may be addressed:

mental demands of contemporary living
stress and trauma
loss and grief
depression
self-awareness
conflict resolution
communication skills
family life
addictions
relationships
emotional intelligence
self-mastery and self-expression
To be at peace with who we are, to have a passion and an enthusiasm for life, and to experience the joy and pathos of life - these constitute the essential ingredients of a rich inner life that nourishes the soul.

And that's what wellness is all about!
