My Story
I do not possess the deep knowledge of the scholars, but rather the lived experience of the survivor. It is through the processing of life events that I have learned that the mind is not the only part of us that needs to heal. The layers may be far deeper than the knowing of the mind. This has led me through an array of healing modalities to clear the trauma imprinted in the layers of the body, mind, heart and soul. Healing trauma is a lifelong journey back to the self.
I am a student, a teacher, a poet, a survivor, an Empath, and now a healer.
Suzanne Demers is a teacher and educator in the Kamloops school district and has been working for over 20 years in both English and French Immersion. She is a dedicated educator who cares deeply for her student’s success, especially for students who struggle with empowerment and issues that may affect their mental health.
In order to process through her own Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD), she came across highly effective modalities, including Reiki and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT-tapping). She has been using them in combination now for several years to release deep repressed memories. She completed Reiki training with our own Edith Farrell and has now completed a full clinical EFT certification program.
As a certified Clinical EFT practitioner, it is Suzanne’s hope to bring this simple and highly effective technique to others, so they may empower themselves.
Trained in Clinical Emotional Freedom Technique, Usui and Holy Fire Reiki, SMART Education, and Mindfulness in the classroom.
