Vicki Wolfson - Spiritual Counselor / Coach in Red Deer, Alberta

Twenty years of hairstyling brought Vicki Wolfson to a place of understanding that she had more to do than just hair. We all know about the stories hairdressers hear from their clients when they come in to either maintain a look they love or undergo an often-radical transformation. Vicki heard them all. In fact she was so good with the clients that when difficult ones showed up, they were given to Vicki to work with. She loved it as they grumbled and she bantered through the appointment. Vicki says those clients almost always left in a better mood than when they walked in.

The Gain from Recognizing Pain

Around the age of twenty-six, Vicki became aware that she was being haunted by old emotions that had been distorted, damaged and needed closure. They were surfacing in painful ways so she sought out a Spiritual Psychiatrist. As they worked together over time, Vicki started to realize how much she loved the work her Spiritual Psychiatrist was doing with her. She decided she wanted to do the same with others. While she lived in Vancouver, she also studied her first two years of her Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology.

When she relocated to Toronto, she was once again beckoned to school and by studying part-time over the weekends and in the evenings, in two years Vicki received her Spiritual Psychotherapy Diploma from the Transformational Arts College in Toronto. It had been two years of hard work, but she was now ready to offer her services to the world.

Personal Story

Vicki has walked the path of pain and shame as a sexual abuse survivor. She understands the emotional challenges, the distorted body image, and the unresolved grief that it creates. She feels strongly about how that kind of suffering can impair, so she now brings her story to her clients to assist them with personal healing support that honors their spirituality. Her goal is their wellness, and she will shape programs designed to accommodate their needs and personalities.

Vicki is not afraid to expose her own weaknesses and bad decisions of the past in the areas of relationships, body image, abuse issues, emotional challenges or grief. She is effective in her approach because she has been there. She has walked the walk and compassionately understands the pain of others.

Continuing Education - Hypnotherapy

Vicki doesn't ever plan on stopping her learning process. She loves discovering more techniques that she can apply to her counseling methods. In fact, she is currently studying for her Advanced Clinical Hypnosis certification at the Excel Center. With this tool under her belt, she will be able to assist her clients in reaching into the dark recesses of trapped emotional pain in a non-confrontational or disempowering way.

Heightened Sensitivity

Through her own journey, Vicki has discovered a growing sensitivity to others which assists her in picking up on what would work for them. She intuitively knows what tools to use and what style to present them in. There are no two people alike and she is not interested in a cookie cutter plan to apply to all issues. Her services and fees are customized to fit your needs.

First Meeting is Complimentary

Vicki likes the idea of allowing her clients to 'interview' her as she also 'interviews' them. No one is a good match for all people and to work with someone through personal blockages, you need to be comfortable and be able to trust fully. On the other hand, the Counselor / coach must also be comfortable enough have the confidence to work with you, their client. This meeting is structured around that precept so both of you can establish that comfort level required to start your work together.

Vicki is Registered In Human Relations with the Canadian Examining Board of Health Care Practitioners. She enjoys playing with Ellie, her Jack Russell Terrier, reading self-help and spiritual books, and being a computer nerd. Vicki struggles to balance her passion for cooking with her life long weight challenge.

Vicki works with clients in person in Red Deer and throughout Canada and the U.S. via phone sessions. To connect with this terrific lady, you can call her at 403-347-9088 in Red Deer, Alberta or toll free at 1-866-575-9088 in Canada and the U.S.; to arrange an appointment time for you.
