Shelly Dilawri has been working in the mental health space for over 15 years and her passion to help women going through various mental health issues, life changes, and postpartum has not diminished. She is ignited by the challenges that come with helping those who need assistance to overcome and reach their full potential. Working as a Clinical Therapist and a Design Your Life Health & Wellness coach with a degree in Occupational Therapy, Shelly has learned to build program...s to suit the individual through the lens of Cognitive and Dialectical Behaviour therapy. Using these core principles as the foundation for her approach, she has helped many climb over their mental barriers and reach new highs. As a mother, wife and daughter, Shelly knows first hand the complexities that come with the ups and downs of life. That’s why she has made it her mission to help patients regain their independence by identifying unhealthy patterns that aren’t driving them to live their best life. Working alongside Dr. Stacy Thomas, she is looking forward to this opportunity to reach a wider audience who truly need the help to shift their life momentum in a positive direction.

Gabrielle Iwaskow is a Registered Psychotherapist (qualifying), and a certified Design Your Life Health & Wellness Coach with a Masters in Counselling Psychology. As a former athlete, with a love for psychology, Gabrielle is excited to now be leveraging all of her passions to do what she loves most: empowering millennial women during times of transition, with healing conversations and evidence-based mental skills that work. Why? Because she knows what it’s like to be a young... woman with tons of inspiration struggling with a lack of clear direction. She also knows the power a single conversation can have to get you moving on the right path. As a dedicated, results driven professional who is highly skilled at quickly developing authentic connections, she feels incredibly fortunate for the training and support she has received that helped her find her purpose and she is excited to have the opportunity to help you find yours.

Everyone at The Design Your Life Centre is cheering for you!!

We pride ourselves in helping men to feel safe, to open up, and to express themselves.

His music was included this year's season of Sesame Street, in ads for brands including Nutrl Vodka, Gibson’s Finest Canadian Whisky, and Bosch&Lomb, and in films, including A Sea Turtle’s Story produced by the National Film Board of Canada. ... During non-covid-lockdown, Zach regularly accompanies yoga and meditation classes on his pedal steel, improvising live and dreamy soundscapes. Zach believes in making the world a better place through his work. This can mean sharing songs that make people happy or playing music that soothes ragged nerves through uncertain times. In 2020, Zach launched ZeroToSong, a 30 day songwriting bootcamp. It was designed to inspire people to show up as songwriters; to share their voices and be heard, to sharpen their creative skills and focus their ideas, to add greater depth and value to the collective soundtrack of our shared experience.
