We Are TEAO Canada.
Our vision is to become Canada’s first Trauma Health and Embodiment Center (THEC), a national hub where trauma is healed in body, spirit, and community. We want to create a space where care is not a privilege but a right and systems are held accountable to root justice in wellness.
Our Roots

Deconstructing power dynamics and evolving the role of frontline workers, teachers, practitioners, etc…

Working with stigmatization and creating environments that don’t mirror trauma into our communities.

Communicating and advocating for the community to create systemic change.

We honour each person’s right to reclaim their voice, story, and healing journey.
-
We commit to honesty, accountability, and compassionate presence in all relationships and systems we touch.
-
We recognize trauma lives in the body, spirit, and community — our practices integrate psychotherapy, somatic care, ancestral knowledge, and peer support.
-
Healing is relational. We create spaces rooted in interdependence, connection, and belonging.
-
We embrace the fullness of cultural, racial, spiritual, and ancestral identities. We act with equity, inclusion, and justice at the centre.

We acknowledge that trauma is not only individual but systemic. We commit to disrupting oppression and co-creating equitable systems.
