Weytk, I am the counsellor and girls group facilitator for NEC, in addition to being a First Nations Health Authority counsellor and a Professor at TRU. I am part of the Secwepemc community through my kinship ties, as Ky7e, Ki7ce, auntie, and family. My children are Neskonlith Band members and I am honoured to be part of the wellness and healing journey for those who I walk alongside. I am also a board member for the Wumec Society to support healing and language learning. I have over 25 years of experience in the area of trauma and violence with a focus on healing, wellness and the coping and survival responses to trauma/violence including self-harming, substance use, disordered eating and other survival responses. I also consider the impact of intergenerational trauma, and colonial and gendered policies on Indigenous children, youth, families and communities.
