Isabel Prystawik, RTC (she/her) Motionally Counselling and Facilitation
Isabel is a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor who offers somatic, body-based counselling for people who may look “fine on the outside” but feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure of what they need internally. Her approach is warm, steady, and collaborative. She helps clients slow down, tune into what’s happening in their bodies, and make sense of their inner experience in a way that feels respectful and doable.
With more than 25 years of experience supporting people in their reconnection and growth, Isabel draws from a deep background in somatic movement, trauma-informed facilitation, and experiential learning. Her training includes extensive study in body-based awareness practices and professional counselling through the Orca Institute in Vancouver, BC.
She often works with individuals who carry a lot — caregivers, parents, helping professionals, and those who have spent years “holding it together” for others. In her sessions, clients can expect gentleness, curiosity, and space to reconnect with themselves.
If you’re wondering whether this kind of work might support you, Isabel welcomes you to reach out.
