Land-Based Wellness

Facilitator: Patricia Habermann

Patricia is Métis and was born, raised, and resides on Treaty 1 Territory. She is a registered counsellor who incorporates evidence-based, person centred, trauma-informed, experiential approaches, and laughter as medicine into her work. She supports youth in child welfare as their therapist, mentor, advocate, and soft place to land when life gets hard. Patricia is also an instructor with Yellowquill University College in various programs for First Nations students. Patricia holds certification from the Applied Counselling Program at the University of Manitoba, with specialization in addictions. She is also a focusing-oriented therapist who attends to complex trauma. Patricia practices traditional Indigenous teachings and consults with community Elders for guidance. Her passion for stories, wholehearted connections, relationships, and exploring how trauma lives in the body is evident in her ongoing curiosity in the way she walks with people. She is devoted to walking alongside and sharing space with individuals on their healing journey in a holistic and compassionate manner as she believes that healing is an “inside job.”
