Hi, I’m Leslie Nielsen, a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor based in Vancouver and the founder of Luminary Wellness Center. I offer a holistic, integrative approach to healing that blends clinical modalities like CBT and DBT with somatic therapy, mindfulness, and energy work including sound healing and Reiki.
My work is grounded in lived experience — I’ve navigated my own path through layered life transitions and identity shifts, and I understand how healing isn’t always linear. I hold space without judgment, meeting you exactly where you are, and walking beside you as you reconnect to your inner clarity, strength, and peace.
I work with adults facing anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. Sessions are available in person or online, and I also host wellness events that focus on nervous system regulation and self-connection.
I offer therapeutic counselling that blends somatic approaches with evidence-based techniques like CBT and DBT. My work is also informed by nervous system regulation, trauma-awareness, and holistic healing methods like sound therapy and Reiki.
Yes, if desired. I can integrate Reiki or sound healing into a therapy session, or we can keep them separate depending on your comfort and goals. Everything is customized to your needs.
