Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.
—Viktor Frankl
Keet is an Integrated Counsellor with Connect Health, a position she has held since Connect Health opened in 2011.
Keet’s experience as a registered nurse, documentary filmmaker, wife, mother of three grown children, and integrative counsellor have led to a deep appreciation for the complex interplay between life experiences, mind, body and spirit. She is also trained in Heart Math – a set of skills that address emotional and physiological regulation, leading to many positive physical and mental health outcomes.
Focus
Trauma, transitions, health issues and other life stressors can undermine a person’s sense of wellbeing, peace and wholeness. Keet is committed to helping people integrate these challenges into their lives and returning them to an authentic connection to themselves, to others, and a sense of purpose and growth.
