About Tap into Life
Our Philosophy
Our philosophy is rooted in the belief that understanding the connection between our physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and social dimensions is integral to our overall health. Counselling can be a powerful tool for having those deeper conversations, reframing your understandings and moving with more confidence and personal vision into your world.
Training and Life Experience
We offer a variety of counseling services to meet the unique needs of our clients, including individual therapy, couples counseling, intensives and classes. We specialize in EMDR, EFT for couples, and Energy Medicine.
Davina has been on a healing journey through her own experience of a severe auto-immune disease called Lupus when she was 28 years old. She was determined to understand her illness and search for training and support to be well again.
In that process Davina trained in many healing modalities; BodyTalk, Yoga Training, Herbal Medicine, Polarity Therapy and Meditation.
Davina is inter-racial with Asian and European descent and has always been drawn to diversity , culture and community.
She began teaching Yoga at the Ki-Low-Na Friendship Society and felt so welcome that she continued to work there for many years in a variety of roles. Davina worked in mental health, coordinating parent and children classes and family support with Indigenous families for nearly 8 years.
Fascinated by psychology and wanting to offer the best she could with individuals experiencing trauma, grief, life transitions, and stressful relationships she completed her Masters in Counselling at Gonzaga University and specialized in EMDR and EFT for Couples. She is a Certified Clinical Counsellor through the Counselling and Psychotherapy Body called CCPA.
Davina loves her work and sees learning as a lifelong venture. She looks forward to continuing to deepen her understanding of herself, others and society.
She is currently on the Kelowna Arts Council and is inspired by the benefits of creative expression for wellness.
In partnership with the Ki-Low-Na Friendship Society Davina initiated an Art Studio and Mental Health project with Gail Hodgson. They witnessed and supported wonderful art creations that adult and teen clients made to assist in their process of grief, loss and trauma.
Davina has published some articles in a local Magazine called "Saging" and would be happy to share them and sings with her family in a local band called October Sky.
Davina has a trauma informed, client centred approach that offers a safe and compassionate environment for her clients to share and heal.

Individual EMDR Counseling
Eye Movement Desensitizing Reprocessing EMDR utilizes dual attention and bilateral stimulation to support the processing of traumatic events. Whether its from you childhood or a recent event this approach is very effective at assisting in reducing the intensity of the memories and integrating the experiences.
Couples Counseling and Intensives with an EFT approach
Our couples counseling services are designed to help you and your partner improve communication, work through conflicts, and strengthen your relationship. The beauty of the Emotionally Focused Approach is it invites into your sessions your underlying feelings, cycles, trauma response and needs together with the support of your therapist.
Education and Workshops
Group learning and sharing can be a powerful way to connect with others who have similar goals and experiences. The sense of not being alone and applying new skills can ignite momentum towards your goals individually or as a couple. We value a safe and supportive environment where you can be yourself, be respected for your unique way of learning and also encourage growth.
