Her background also includes web development, Android and Windows software engineering, and the ongoing creation of education and productivity resources for neurodivergent learners.

She understands how lonely it can feel to suffer in silence and knows that healing isn’t a destination but an ongoing process, one that requires support, understanding, and a sense of belonging. As a social work student at the University of Waterloo and Community Engagement & Outreach Coordinator at TEAO, she is dedicated to creating the kind of spaces she once needed, places where people feel heard, valued, and supported. She believes that mental health care should be accessible, culturally competent, and rooted in community. Through her work, Zayn hopes to help those who have been silenced by stigma, power imbalances, or systemic barriers reclaim their voice, their story, and their right to support, because no one should have to struggle alone. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c3bf6a9f32b72d31ccf48d/a9969218-17fb-4286-a090-df41cbdaf3d9/Iona+Sky.jpg Our Team - IONA SKY VISIONARY, LEADER, CONSULTANT & EDUCATOR Iona Sky (she/her) is an Indo-Canadian social worker, consultant and educator.

Growing up in the GTA and now living in Cambridge, she has witnessed firsthand how government safety nets often fall short, leaving individuals without the support or safe spaces they need to heal, grow, and stabilize. Hearing friends, peers, and community members share their struggles to access therapeutic care or supportive coaching has shaped her belief that systems must do better — and that people need each other to move forward. A recent graduate of the University of Guelph with a BAH in Psychology, Gabrielle was inspired by professors, mentors, and frontline professionals who model what compassionate, informed care can look like. Their influence sparked her commitment to pursue tools for systemic change and contribute her energy toward building more accessible, embodied pathways to healing. Her passion for trauma-responsive, person-centered support is what drew her to TEAO. Gabrielle believes that communities transform when people are willing to reach out, lift one another, and create environments where healing is a shared responsibility. As TEAO’s Youth Care & Community Liaison, she is dedicated to strengthening accessibility, amplifying youth voice, and helping shape systems where care, safety, and collective healing are not optional — but foundational. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c3bf6a9f32b72d31ccf48d/8ffdbec4-8fc3-4435-b0a7-f6da394af5f3/IMG_9255.jpg Our Team - Nora De Arco CREATIVE PROJECT MANAGER A creative project manager with over four years of experience in projects centering on community empowerment, Nora focuses on empowering women, especially women of color, to take ownership of their health, mind, and body.

To be embodied means to feel at home in your body; to be in your body in the present moment and feel all its sensations (emotional and physical). After traumatic experiences, we may unconsciously disconnect from our bodies as a survival technique. Becoming more aware of your body can help you feel more in charge of your life and can be very useful in the healing process. At TEAO, we use an embodiment approach to healing to reconnect with our bodies. What does embodiment mean for TEAO? • Turning one’s attention to their internal experiences • Providing a space where people can process their thoughts, feelings, and actions https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c3bf6a9f32b72d31ccf48d/1627394272803-8Z90UNV5406XLHY2NOE7/img-0520.jpeg For Leaders & Educators 'Embodied Healing' is a novel that combines the voices, wisdom, and experiences of survivors and practitioners to paint a picture of what body-first healing can look like from people who have been through it.

She believes that healing should be accessible to all, regardless of background or experience, and that community plays a vital role in that process. For Christie, TEAO's spaces are important because they give people an inclusive place to come as they are, without barriers or judgment, and feel supported in their healing and growth. She hopes to contribute to an environment where people feel genuinely welcome and supported as they explore their own paths to healing. She believes that everyone is the expert in their own journey and experiences, and that healing begins when people feel heard and empowered to make choices for themselves. Honoring someone’s voice means recognizing their perspective as valid and important, and creating space for them to express it freely. To her, supporting mental health also means helping others reclaim that sense of agency, so they can move forward with confidence and self-trust. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c3bf6a9f32b72d31ccf48d/7ef2c209-2533-486d-80a2-a90f2bf9962a/Dikko_1834.jpg Peer Support Team & Services - ZAINAB (ZAYN) DIKKO Zainab (Zayn) Dikko is a certified Peer Supporter and Trauma-Responsive Care practitioner with TEAO Canada. She also serves as TEAO’s Community Engagement and Outreach Coordinator, helping lead outreach initiatives, community partnerships, and trauma-informed programming across Ontario. As a Black immigrant woman with lived experience navigating cultural change and faith transitions, Zayn brings empathy, openness, and a deep understanding of how identity, belonging, and systemic barriers shape healing. Her approach blends professional training in peer support, crisis response, and counselling skills with a grounded, relational practice rooted in compassion and cultural humility. She is currently completing her Bachelor’s in Social Development Studies at the University of Waterloo, where she focuses on mental health and community wellbeing. Zayn believes trauma-responsive care is essential because many people move through life carrying experiences that were never acknowledged or supported. In our communities, unaddressed trauma often shows up as isolation, anger, or silence. Trauma-responsive care helps create spaces where people feel seen, safe, and empowered to rebuild trust both in themselves and in others. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c3bf6a9f32b72d31ccf48d/8516dd08-0f6f-43c9-be08-fbbaf5d7c06f/MUK_0527-2.jpg Peer Support Team & Services - EMMA MUKKADAN Emma Mukkadan (she/her) is an Indian-Canadian woman who has graduated from the University of Waterloo with a degree in psychology. Her experience in research and client-care focuses on promoting the mental well-being of marginalized groups, especially racial, gender, and sexual minorities. As a result, the value of TEAO that most resonates with her is equity and belonging. As someone who has experienced culturally incompetent care and lack of support from mental health service providers, Emma believes effective, trauma-informed care should include all voices and experiences. Within TEAO, Emma aims to create this safe space for minorities to feel uplifted and validated through her role as a trauma responsive care personnel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c3bf6a9f32b72d31ccf48d/3af2ad17-917e-49eb-8c0e-a4acb68a1877/IMG_6402.jpeg Peer Support Team & Services - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c3bf6a9f32b72d31ccf48d/525e19cf-af32-4e9d-98b1-dc592e7f99f2/IMG_4953.jpg Peer Support Team & Services - Apurva Sugenthiran Apurva is passionate about supporting others, which began through her own healing journey and her experience with TEAO. She expresses her love for the organization through their collective care practices in creating warm, inclusive, and safe spaces. She is dedicated to making support more accessible and building genuine connections within the community. Inspired by TEAO’s commitment to inclusivity, she strives to create environments where all individuals feel empowered to openly share their stories and explore their resilience. They value recognizing and respecting diverse cultural backgrounds, beliefs, and practices to ensure mental health is inclusive of individual needs. Through her involvement, she hopes to make a meaningful impact by helping others develop self-agency as they progress along their personal journeys of growth and healing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c3bf6a9f32b72d31ccf48d/1635257858564-OWOJD28OK99M5RUTIFJJ/unsplash-image--_5IRj1F2rY.jpg Peer Support Team & Services -
