Hi - I’m Genieve and I’m honoured to introduce myself as one of your leaders here at Empowered Living. My journey with Empowered Living dates back longer than 2017, when the company was founded. I grew up in Calgary AB and like many I experienced trauma and hardship, I felt out of place, different and never enough. The only moment I felt I belonged was when I was dancing on stage. Throughout my various dance years I grew a deep passion for health and wellness and in 2014 when I suffered the first of several concussions in my life, I realized wellness was about more than just taking care of my physical body. It was about taking care of all of my selves - mental, emotional, physical, spiritual and social. With this sudden pain and identity loss with letting go of my professional dance dreams, I was launched into a long self development journey.
I worked rigorously to implement the tools and techniques necessary to navigate this ever shifting physical experience and my goal was to be most proud of my personal holistic wellness. My exploration eventually guided me into leading others and I set out to obtain my holistic health coaching certification from one of the leading health coaching schools world wide, Health Coach Institute. Once I graduated I founded Empowered Living in 2017 and since then I have been working to expand my skillset as a leader in the wellness industry, so that I’m able to provide my clients with the best care possible. I have now received my holistic life coaching certification and am certified in wellness counselling. I'm informed in trauma, addictions, crisis intervention and non-violent communication. I'm educated in somatic therapy, movement therapy, CBT, DBT and narrative therapy. I have recently graduated with my professional counselling diploma from Rhodes Wellness College and am working towards my registration with the Association of Credited Counsellors within BC.
The foundation of my practice is Integrative Counselling with CBT [cognitive behavioural therapy] and Person Centred Therapy at the heart of the experience. To support the process I use tools and techniques from Narrative Therapy, Somatic Therapy and Feminist Therapy when appropriate. I have the belief that the thoughts we have, impact the emotions we feel and these internal experiences influence how we interact with our environment [the theory of CBT]. Having a supported space to better understand your experience gives you the opportunity for change [narrative, somatics and feminist tools and techniques supporting the process]. There is a focus on relationship between you and I being one of the valuable agents of change and implementation of whats discovered into daily life, so you're able to experience change. You are the expert of your life and I am here to help you unlock this within yourself.
I have always had an innate curiosity about this human experience and everyone who knows me personally will tell you that I’ve always asked tons of questions about the most random things. This innate curiosity has added to my strength in being able to naturally hold space without judgement, for the depths of what this this life throws our way. I am a proud member of the LGBTQ2IA+ community and my vision is to create a safe, inclusive environment where diversity is seen, accepted and celebrated. Where you are safe to explore yourself and be curious about everything you have been conditioned to believe about this life. And with these expansive awarenesses be given the necessary tools to be able to navigate this reality in a way that is more aligned.
I believe you have the capability of living the life you desire, we all just need a little guidance sometimes and I will continue to work along side many great others in the journey towards normalizing this.
I want to personally welcome you to the Empowered Living community, I look forward to connecting with you soon.

Bachelors of Arts-Psychology (BA)
Certified Holistic Life Coach (CHLC)

My passion has always been driven around helping people and supporting others in the experience of life. Through my own experience of anxiety, depression, trauma and PMDD I've stepped out of my old belief that resilience was the only true key to self-development and into my new understanding that support and community may the the greatest ingredients to loving yourself and loving change.
I have recently graduated with my professional counselling diploma with Rhodes College and I am working towards becoming fully registered within the Association of Cooperative Canadian Counsellors. I am trained in CBT, DBT, TRE, Somatic therapy, Narrative therapy, wellness counselling, eco therapy, trauma and addictions informed, crisis intervention and non-violent communication informed. I have also received a bachelor's degree in Psychology from Simon Fraser University. I am a certified life and wellness coach trained in goal setting, leadership and communication and therefore can step into deep work within the past, present and future using the Biopsychosocial model.On a personal note, I am bubbly and down to earth and am passionate about practicing health and fitness on my spare time. I am a HUGE foodie and avid traveller. You can usually find me on a beautiful hike, seeking the best new and upcoming restaurants to eat in Vancouver or seeking for my next destination around the world.
