Andy joined LIFT Online Learning as a facilitator and coach in 2023. He brings a unique gift from his professional life in finance and law, where he provided guidance to corporations and executives. His journey and passion for holistic trauma recovery began twenty-five years ago with a foundation in mindfulness. Since then, it has evolved to encompass Somatic work, Compassionate Inquiry (inspired by Dr. Gabor Maté), and the integrative work of EMDR.

Andy's focus lies in the healing of fear, shame, anger, and distorted beliefs by cultivating energies of compassion, gratitude, and joy. His mindfulness training adds a unique depth to the trauma recovery process, creating a nurturing space for self-discovery and healing. By tailoring Somatic techniques to the individual, Andy maximizes the potential of both body and mind in the journey of trauma recovery.

He has a unique, compassionate approach in creating a supportive environment for healing.

Anita worked as a healthcare worker for over 20 years as someone who had never truly “unpacked” and resolved the extreme trauma from her childhood. When she hit her rock bottom, she recalls feeling left in a very dark place that she wasn’t able to see her way out of.

“I couldn’t move on from the pain of my past which meant I couldn’t move into a future with any hope of finding love or happiness.”

This year marks 10 years in recovery for Anita and the tools she found in the RE/ACT program taught her to truly process and heal wounds; wounds a child should never have to experience.

“This saved my life.”

As a facilitator + coach for the last 8 years, and having completed Gabor Mate’s Compassionate Inquiry course, Anita feels blessed to be able to give back to the RE/ACT program by helping others find their way.

After moving to Germany at age 18, she married and dove into the workforce armed with a Bachelor of Arts degree with a double major in German and History.

Breanne was still struggling with addiction and Complex Trauma, and this resulted in her split from her husband. Back in Germany, her battle with addiction endured, and so she returned to Canada to attend RE/ACT in Surrey to deal with her addictions head-on. After a few years of working there, she is now the Director of Lift Online Learning and working towards her Masters in Counselling.

Donna grew up in the Philippines. Her childhood home experienced dysfunction and Donna found herself in roles of responsibility - often taking care of her 3 teenage brothers.

In 2012, an opportunity came for her to immigrate to Canada. She didn’t think twice, and risked everything, everything she had known her entire life to make the move. After 8 years as a graphic designer, Donna joined Tim Fletcher Co.

Here, Donna discovered Complex Trauma, and how it helped connect the dots from what she had experienced in her childhood and how it affected her through anxiety and burnout today. She also learned the importance of speaking up and setting boundaries to help her work powerfully and effectively with a team.

This understanding helped her find answers, and find fulfilment in helping others. She is the core creator behind all of our beautiful graphics, curriculum and website.

Gabriel has been refining his character for the last 15 years in a sheer uncountable number of workshops, trainings and coaching methods. When his life went south in the end of 2021 he finally was ready to learn.

Subsequently he is now on the way to become a therapist. He works with the neuro-affective relational model (NARM). Gabriel has huge empathy for the human heart and he is dedicated to finding the lies we are telling ourselves- so we can be just normal human beings again.

His biggest strength: he is infinitely curious.

Haiyan had always believed her life was somewhat different yet normal: raised by her grandmother, she pursued a college education and was fortunate enough to receive a scholarship to come to the United States and earn a Ph.D. However, it wasn't until her 30s that she began to confront her memory loss, the abrupt separation from her parents at the age of three, the lack of parental care during her formative years, and how these experiences shaped her identity and the challenges she continuously faced. Years later, in 2022, a series of intense shame attacks brought her to a realization: "This is bigger than me. I need help."

This pivotal moment led Haiyan to the LIFT and COMPASS programs, where she began her own healing journey and found a community steeped in love and acceptance. Haiyan is passionate about helping individuals navigate the effects of abandonment, neglect, and abuse, empowering them to rediscover their true selves through Inner Child work and the Internal Family Systems.

Julie grew up in the UK with rather traditional parents in what she believed was a normal, happy childhood. With very busy, hard-working parents, little time was left for Julie. As a perfectionist and people-pleaser, she formed codependent relationships, resulting in believing that her needs didn’t matter.

As a trained Computer Scientist, Julie landed a job as a Software Engineer and stayed in this field for 32 years while getting married and becoming a mom of 2 beautiful children. Still unable to truly cope, Julie fell into severe depression after the passing of her husband.

For 16 years, Julie tried to understand why she could no longer feel any emotions. She called on GPs, Psychologists, Psychiatrists and Energy Healers to help, but to no avail. Finally in 2020, Julie found Tim Fletcher on YouTube.

“LIFT Online Learning enabled me to reconnect to myself and my emotions and gave me a way to understand my subconscious patterns. Now, I can respond to situations rather than react to them. I believe the content of this program explains all of human suffering… “

At the start of Kirstin’s career, the last place she expected to end up was supporting people to heal from Complex Trauma! As a young adult she pursued biochemical research because molecules and cells are predictable and don’t talk back. Her perspective changed after two decades in the academic setting, first in research then as a contract lecturer, when finally she recognized that the academic culture wasn’t healthy for her. ]

In a mixed blessing, next she started a private practice as a patient navigator: like academia, entrepreneurship also fed the anxiety and self-doubt, but it was through the patient navigator role that she discovered the work of Tim Fletcher.

Hoping to enhance her skills in accompanying individuals through traumatizing complex medical journeys, Kirstin enrolled in the LIFT and COMPASS programs in 2022-2023. To her surprise and delight, the experience is helping her to heal her own complex trauma fears that have run her life. Giving thanks for the gifts of peace and groundedness, now Kirstin is honoured to accompany others on their complex trauma healing journeys. In addition to learnings from COMPASS, Kirstin employs principles from the group practice of Holy Listening (as taught in the Pacific Jubilee Program). Her style has been described as warm and motherly, and naturally draws her to nurturing wounded inner children.

She achieved a certificate in Business Administration and Recreation Facilitator for Aging Adults, however, she was still struggling with finding healthy relationships and turned to marijuana to cope with anxiety and depression.

Today, Nicole facilitates LIFT Online Learning and is the friendly face of our online program intake team.
