Hi! I’m Gillian (she/her), and I’m so glad you’re here!
I believe you were designed to thrive. And yet – sometimes life happens. We find ourselves stuck in patterns that no longer serve us, overwhelmed by emotions, disconnected from ourselves or others, or simply unsure how to move forward. In those moments, having the right kind of support can make all the difference.
I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor offering compassionate, trauma-informed support for youth and adults. My work centres on helping people make sense of their inner experiences, strengthen their relationship with themselves and others, and develop greater capacity to meet life with steadiness and self-trust. While I have a special interest in concerns related to body image, food, and movement, my practice also supports people navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, life transitions, and relational challenges.
Through one-to-one counselling, groups, and retreats, I offer a relational, experiential, and body-based approach to therapy. Together, we slow things down, tune into what’s happening beneath the surface, and create space for new understanding and meaningful change. This work isn’t about fixing you—it’s about supporting you to reconnect with your innate resilience, wisdom, and sense of wholeness.
If you’re in a season of struggle, please hear this: you’ve got this (legit!). And—you don’t have to do it alone. It would be my honour to walk alongside you as we discover the personal insight, tools, support, and possibilities that can help you move toward a life that feels more grounded, authentic, and alive.
Did you come here looking for fitness content or health coaching?
Prior to becoming a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) I was a fitness professional. I hold a degree in Kinesiology and am a Registered Personal Trainer & Group/ Yoga Fitness Leader. While I don’t offer fitness programming through Super You anymore, I often weave the topics of health and fitness into my work as an RCC. Though I don’t offer explicit “fitness advice” as an RCC, what I came to understand in my nearly 25 year career as a fitness professional was that it wasn’t a lack of knowledge holding folks back in their health and fitness pursuits – it was all the other things getting in the way (ie. analysis paralysis, perfectionism, all-or-nothing thinking, how they related to the health and fitness practices, and their body…just to name a few!). If this resonates with you, and you’d like some support around your health and fitness, I am delighted to weave in these themes into counselling sessions.
PS. I still teach group fitness locally in my home community of Nanaimo through Parks & Recreation and occasionally sub at local facilities or for events. It still brings me a lot of joy, and I still have tremendous passion for fitness!

What is your Fitness Personality?
Often times clients come to me at their wits end. They're trying...but nothing really seems to STICK. They can do most things short term but find that 'magical motivation' a somewhat elusive creature when it comes to creating lasting change. When I tell them it's not...
