Integrative Body Psychotherapy
Join me for a personalized online Integrative Body Psychotherapy (IBP) session. Individual sessions are available in English and French.
IBP is body-based approach that helps release physical tension and chronic emotional blockages. Through mindful movement, breath-work, and self-awareness practices, you’ll begin to restore your natural body-mind connection, unlocking your body’s capacity to feel, process, and heal.
With ongoing IBP sessions online, you’ll develop the skill to notice what arises within you (sensations, emotions, and thoughts) and respond with compassion and clarity. This process strengthens emotional regulation, builds resilience, and invites you to embody your full, authentic self.
Online IBP offers the freedom to access sessions from your own home. Ideal for those seeking privacy or living in remote areas. Providing you with the same somatic depth and therapeutic presence as in-person sessions. Helping you to regulate your nervous system and return to your body’s natural rhythm.
Book your online IBP session today and begin your journey toward greater presence, vitality, and freedom. I am RITMA-accredited and provide insurance receipts for reimbursement.
Healing. Vitality. Freedom.
Anger Series
Discover the Wisdom in Your Anger
Anger is often misunderstood, dismissed as destructive or suppressed until it bursts. Yet when explored with awareness, anger becomes a powerful source of clarity, strength, and transformation.
In this anger series, we’ll use an Integrative Body Psychotherapy approach to help you understand, feel, and express anger safely. Through guided body-based practices, mindful movement, and reflection you’ll reconnect with your body’s signals and learn to transform anger into healthy expression and emotional resilience.
You’ll leave with practices that teach you how to assert boundaries, reclaim your voice, and respond to life’s challenges with grounded confidence.
Whether you’re new to exploring anger or ready to deepen your self-awareness, this series invites you to honour your full emotional range and cultivate a more authentic relationship with yourself and others.
This 5 week anger series is available in English or French.
“What most stayed with me from my IBP sessions with Vanessa was how open and present she was from the very first consultation. Dealing with heavy feelings with a new person can feel very vulnerable, and I felt like I had the space to express my emotions in a safe environment. I felt heard and understood.
The body practices we did together also helped me navigate my difficulties and relax my body, even a small sense of ease felt like a great relief. I still do some of the movements I learned with Vanessa when emotions rise and feel overwhelming. The movements create more space, and things don't feel as heavy.
I'm grateful for the work we did together.” (Tais - Individual IBP Sessions)

Upcoming Events
Ancestral Healing & Integrative Body Psychotherapy with Vanessa Salvatore & Mmabatho Montse - Online Workshop
This two-hour workshop invites you into a bio-spiritual practice of embodied reflection. We explore how story lives in the body, how sensation carries meaning, and how inherited patterns shape our ways of responding to life.
Through guided inquiry, relational listening, and gentle somatic integration, we create space for clarity to emerge from what may feel vague, implicit, or unfinished. This is a space of collective wit(h)nessing, where attention is offered without fixing, interpreting, or correcting, allowing the body’s intelligence to unfold.
More information and dates will be announced soon. If you would like to be notified when registration opens, join my newsletter or contact me directly.
