Therapy
We offer therapy in the comfort of your home, work, or auto. Using phone, chat, or video conferencing to deliver the highest quality therapy without the need to travel, and without the stigma of entering a therapist's office.
We all go through periods of emotional and psychological distress. Sometimes this distress can interrupt the quality of your life and show up negatively. Many have found that participating in talk therapy can make a significant difference in their outlook on life and how they feel.
Talk therapy has been shown to help people identify issues that are causing emotional and psychological distress. Sometimes these issues are complex and may result in a diagnosis, while other times talk therapy provides a safe place to discuss sensitive and emotionally triggering topics of daily stress, medical illnesses, relationship issues, trauma, grief, and loss.
Together with your therapist, therapy techniques help you understand how these triggers are affecting your life, work, relationships, and productivity. Your therapist will work with you on a personalized level to develop strategies and solutions to decrease the severity of the symptoms you're experiencing.
How often you visit with your therapist is dependent upon the severity of your symptoms and the treatment plan that your therapist develops. Typically our clients meet with our therapist once a week as this gives you the opportunity to develop a relationship and stay accountable for the process of change.
As you begin to develop and implement strategies, while showing signs of improvement, the frequency of your sessions may change to fortnightly, monthly, or quarterly depending on the treatment plan and your desired level of support.
What Types of Therapy Do You Use?
Our therapists use a holistic approach with their techniques, incorporating a combination of various approaches to help you in the best way possible. Your sessions may include but are not limited to, various forms of behavioral therapy, cognitive therapy, humanistic, and psychodynamic therapy; all of which are focused on a client-centered approach that dives into the unconscious meanings, motivations,feelings, thoughts, and behaviors that you are experiencing.

Unplug to Plug-In! Break the cycle of distraction and overwhelm with Mindfulness!
Being mindful is a skill that many of us struggle with in our day of modern distractions. We are constantly battling stress, overwhelm, and burnout. The lack of balance that we find ourselves in only perpetuates the cycle of disconnect.
Many of our clients come to us struggling to find meaning in their lives, in situations in which they find themselves, or lack direction that gives them purpose.
And while we all seek that magic answer to turn off the stress and disconnection, the truth of the matter is that ability resides within us and must come from within us.
True happiness, joy, peace, and connection come from within ourselves when we learn how to be attentive to our body, our mind, and our sowl.
What Is Mindfulness?
Practicing mindfulness is a skill that can help us live in balance, experiencing calm, ease, and contentment.
Mindfulness has been shown to improve our concentration and focus, increase our happiness and well-being, lead to better sleep, less pain, an improvement in our immune system functions, and even a decrease in the level and severity of depression, anxiety, and stress that we experience.
Mindfulness can be used in many areas of your life, from your eating habits to your job performance, athletic abilities, relationships, and more!

Mental Health Coaching
The world is changing quickly, and with those changes comes the requirement for us to adapt just as quickly. Navigating the components of our modern, social and disconnected world often leaves many of us struggling to cope. This struggle is congruent with the increase in mental health illnesses seen worldwide, such as anxiety and depression.
Mental health, though becoming an increasingly concerning component of our overall health, still lacks the necessary foundational and access to services. It’s perfectly acceptable to seek out services for our nutrition, our fitness, our sleep, and other aspects of our health, but oftentimes the stigma, guilt, or shame of mental health support has many people ready to dismiss or ignore their mental health concerns.
Our mental health is both a situational variable, and a long-term component, of our overall health and well-being, so there is no shame in seeking support as it, directly and indirectly, affects many other areas of our health.
We know that there are many ways that mental health can be treated, but also how it can be supported while treatment is taking place. Seeking the support of a mental health coach can help you navigate the world, struggles, and goals of your mental health to improve the quality of your life, joy, and happiness.
What is Mental Health Coaching?
Mental health coaching provides a support system for people who are struggling with their mental health. It is about providing people with tools, strategies, and skills to cope with their mental health concerns.
Mental health coaching often uses multiple forms of support, including cognitive and behavioral techniques. And while mental health coaching does use many methods of therapy and counseling, it's important to note that mental health coaching is not therapy or counseling as it is not meant to treat mental health concerns, but rather to work towards having a healthiermental state.
Mental health coaching is meant to help improve the quality of our lives and is often used alongside therapy and counseling support as mental health coaching helps address current and future goals, while therapy and counseling are the answer for addressing past problems that have brought you to your present struggles.
What Are the Benefits of Mental Health Coaching?
Mental health is a complex topic, it often includes mental illnesses Such as depression, anxiety,and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). However, it is not necessary to have a formal diagnosis to benefit from mental health coaching, as mental health coaching simply allows us to thrive as human beings.
Positive mental health has been shown to improve the quality of our life in all aspects, including areas like creativity, productivity, relationships, and even open access to new opportunities. All of this contributes to you leading a happier and more fulfilled life.
How Does a Mental Health Coach Help Me?
Our mental health coaches are specialized and experienced in helping improve the quality of our clients' lives by using a variety of tools and systems that empower our clients to cope with their realities.
In working with our mental health coaches, we work on a variety of issues that are not just related to anxiety or depression, But instead, and in addition, help our clients address negative thinking patterns and implement strategies for stress management. As a result, mental health coaching has become a tool for our clients that helps them manage their lives better.
Our mental health coaches also provide guidance, support, and motivation to our clients to encourage them to take action on the changes that they want to see in their life.
Our mental health coaches take a personalized approach to coaching with you. We spend a lot of time understanding your situations, your personality, your thinking patterns, and your environment. This allows us to provide strategies, tools, and coaching that are specific to your needs. We tailor each session to your needs depending upon the context of your situation.

Proven training programs that actually get results
Up until now, there’s been a good reason you haven’t been able to get the results you’re looking for from your workouts and diets. And the reason is simple: information overload.
For decades, the health and wellness industry has overloaded you with conflicting information about building muscle and losing fat, leaving you confused in a sea of ineffective workouts, unrealistic & restrictive diets, and sketchy supplements. How are you supposed to know which training programs and diets actually work - and which are just a waste of time?
This is exactly why so many are struggling, because there’s too much information out there, and the majority of it is just flat-out wrong or built on archaic principles that don’t support optimal health.
And after all, what’s the point in hitting your fitness goals if the body you’re living in isn’t healthy enough to support it?
The good news is that there’s a shortcut.
When you sign up to work with a Solymar Online personal trainer, you’ll be introduced to our signature training process, which we call The Solymar Way.

Yoga
We meet you where you are.
No matter whether you're a beginner who's stuck in the office or an advanced yogi traveling the world, our yoga instructors are here to provide personal, one-on-one training to help you further your practice one day at a time.
What Is Yoga
Yoga is an ancient Asian practice, it is a combination of physical exercise, breath control, positive thinking, and meditation. Yoga is an incredibly effective form of fitness that is suitable for all ages and abilities and especially great for those who require low-impact or progressive forms of fitness.
Yoga has long been known to improve:
- Strength, flexibility, and balance
- Relieve muscular pain, especially in the torso
- Lean muscle mass
- Our cardiovascular system by lowering blood pressure
- Posture, especially in our modern sedentary, desk-ridden lives
- Range of motion and core stability
- Metabolic function of the body
- Our mood and energy, by lowering cortisol levels that impact serotonin production
- Our body’s immune system and inflammatory responses
While there are many forms of yoga, here are some of the ones our clients love and enjoy.
Hatha Yoga
Finding the right yoga class can be intimidating and confusing. In this class we will be focused on alignment, helping you gain confidence in your poses. You will do approximately 15 to 20 poses in this class. You will discover that your breath control (Pranayama) can ease your mind, and help you get more connected with your poses (Asana).
Gentle Stretch
With a gentler, more meditative style of yoga, this style of class offers a deep stretch, holding the poses in a comfortable position for longer periods of time. It’s a good class for letting go of things that might be holding you back, creating space for new things, and gently waking the muscles.
Restorative Yoga
Restorative yoga is a very important part of a yogis practice, it focuses on fewer poses than Hatha, a deeper meditative state to help relieve stress on the body by using props such as pillows, blankets, belts, yoga blocks/ books and you do not even have to break a sweat doing it.
Vinyasa Flow Yoga
In Western countries, yoga has been modernized as people wanted a more vigorous workout and this form of yoga helps meet that goal. Using a continuous flowing movement from one pose to the next, you can easily work up a sweat, burn calories, build strength, and tone your muscles in a low-impact, smooth workout that doesn’t raise cortisol levels or require a large workout space.
Nutrition
Nutrition is a huge part of our lives, even if it’s an unconscious one. I learned this when I started having health issues that impacted my energy, my sleep, my weight, and my ability to enjoy life. I was dealing with hormonal imbalances, immune dysfunction, and I was left feeling powerless and trapped in my unhealthy body.
Through the power of good food and some changes to my lifestyle, I was able to feel younger, lose weight that I had been gaining, restore my energy levels, and reclaim my life.
Through this personal journey, I discovered the healing powers of whole foods and a passion for helping others experience the same was borne from within.
One of the biggest takeaways from my journey was the need for simplicity. There are so many diets and fads out there, but when it comes to managing health conditions, improving your energy, and feeling great in your body, it really does have to be simple. And it has to be sustainable.
Over the past 5 years, as a practicing Advanced Holistic Nutritionist, “One Bite at a Time” has become my coaching motto. It’s literally how I've been able to overcome my crippling health & hormone challenges that impacted the quality of my life for so long.
It’s also how I coach my clients into taking micro-commitments everyday that help create a brand new lifestyle for them for life-long success.
I studied different aspects of nutrition under the School of Natural Health Sciences and earned myself practitioner level diplomas in:
- Holistic Nutrition
- Advanced Holistic Nutrition
- Child & Adolescent Nutrition
- Nutrition for Ages 50+
- Vegetarian & Vegan Nutrition
- Ethical & Sustainable Eating
- Exercise for Health & Wellness
I'm a member of professional status with both the International Institute of Complimentary Therapists and the Canadian Association of Natural Nutritional Practitioners.
I also bring to the table a bachelor’s degree in Psychology that focuses heavily on research, education, and human development through all life stages. This has armed me with a solid understanding of our growth, emotional needs, mental needs, nutritional needs, and the connection they all have together!
Using a combination of my education, coupled with various coaching skills and techniques that I’ve picked up over the years, I’ve helped clients with a variety of their health & nutrition goals, such as:
- Fat loss
- Increasing energy
- Improving their relationship with food
- Decreasing body pain & inflammation
- Symptom management from disease/illness
- Women’s hormone health support
- Prenatal nutrition
- Plant-Based eating
- Blood-sugar stabilization
- Digestive issues
- Bloating/Gas
- And much more!
I live by the motto that healthy living all starts with one bite at a time! Let's make each bite count!
