About Ulrike

I was born and raised in Germany and lived in Paris, France, for a few years until the pristine beauty of Mother Nature called me to British Columbia in 1996.

I studied massage at The Healing Bodywork Centre in Vancouver and completed in 2007 with a Certificate in Integrated Bodywork, which combines Swedish massage with basic lymphatic drainage, reflexology, Shiatsu, and Polarity. Later that year I was initiated into Reiki in the Usui Reiki tradition.

My training in Peer Counselling allows me to create a safe container for another’s healing. I obtained the Certificate in Peer Counselling from the University of British Columbia in 2007 and deepened into Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) as my primary approaches.

Yoga has been the foundation of my personal practice since my mother introduced me to Hatha in the 1970s. In June 2016, I completed a certificate program in Therapeutic Yoga for Trauma, Resilience and Emotional Well-Being at Langara College in Vancouver and I'm happy to include Trauma-sensitive Yoga in my holistic approach to healing.
