Highly personalized therapeutic work, with access to May's full range of resources and knowledge. Each month you have up to 8 hours of support to use as your life requires: focused sessions, usually 60 minutes, in person or by video or telephone, or other forms of support such as messages and voice notes between sessions. Everything counts toward your 8 hours.
Together we work on trauma processing, nervous system regulation, attachment, and mind-body healing, with EMDR available when clinically appropriate.

Is this for you?
This is for you if
The past is shaping your present: overworking or checked out, mood swings, poor sleep, trouble trusting yourself or others. And you're ready to look inward.
Not a fit if
You're in crisis or having suicidal thoughts. We don't offer crisis, 24/7, or impromptu support. Please call 9-8-8, 9-1-1, or 2-1-1 (Toronto).
Our approach
Healing that starts in the body, not the to-do list
Our work isn't about adding more insight. It's about restoring the nervous system's ability to feel safe, so the rest can finally settle.
Regulation before insight
We start where the nervous system actually is.
Trauma-informed, always
Pacing and tailoring built for safety.
Held, not fixed
"What happened to you," not "what's wrong with you."
Draws on EMDR, CBT, DBT, ACT, Somatic Experiencing, and Internal Family Systems.

One mission, two practices
Regulated adults raise regulated children
Down to Earth Support is the sister company of Calm School™, which brings social-emotional learning and mental wellness education to children. We believe children thrive when the adults around them — parents, caregivers, teachers, the whole village — are regulated and supported too. This practice stands on its own as serious work for adults. But it shares Calm School's belief that healing ripples outward — to the people you love, and the children in your life.
