Therapeutic Offerings
Registered Massage Therapy
Registered Massage Therapy (RMT) treatments are tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient. Each treatment plan is customized to address specific concerns, ensuring optimal results and a personalized healing experience. At Haven, we prioritize a compassionate, trauma-informed approach that will help each patient to feel heard and cared for in a safe space.
Canadian Certified Counselling
Offering trauma-informed counselling services to individuals, youth, and families from all walks of life in Comox Valley, BC.
Portage Counselling recognizes the interconnectedness of the mind, heart, and body in responding to distress and engaging in the healing process. We acknowledge that talk therapy cannot address all aspects of this for an individual. Our desire is to integrate the inward mind-and-heart therapeutic work alongside understanding what may arise for you while engaging in body-focused work which you may also be doing to support yourself.
