Tina is the dedicated founder and practitioner behind Stillwater Wellness and Counselling, a compassionate therapeutic practice rooted in the Comox Valley.

Driven by a lifelong commitment to bringing in the value of connection, Tina’s professional journey is a natural extension of her dedication to community. For years, she opened her heart and home to host women in her living room, deeply understanding the profound human need for authentic relationship. Today, her practice serves as an extension of that very same invitation, a trusted space where people are invited to feel completely supported, seen, and heard.

At Stillwater Wellness and Counselling, Tina specializes in working with individuals who constantly strive, naturally put the needs of others first, and hold themselves to exceptionally high standards. Through individual therapy, group therapy, and interactive workshops, she provides a supportive, grounding space for these natural caretakers and high-achievers to gently set down their heavy expectations, navigate life transitions, and reclaim their inner resilience. Her collaborative, personalized approach ensures that each client can process challenges and discover sustainable well-being at their own pace.

Tina’s passion for creating comforting, nurturing spaces also shines through as the creative force behind Valley and Ember Candles.

Just like her therapeutic work, her candle business is dedicated to bringing warmth, grounding energy, and a sense of cozy sanctuary into people's everyday lives. Deeply integrated into Vancouver Island’s local community, Tina joined Comox Valley Women in Business to connect with fellow professional women, share meaningful resources, and support the regional network of entrepreneurs. She firmly believes that collaboration and genuine relationship-building are what allow a community to thrive, and she is eager to foster deep connections within the CVWIB network. When she is away from her counselling space and candle pouring, Tina fully embraces the nourishing lifestyle of the Island, whether she is creating delicious, comforting soups to share with friends and family or losing herself in the beauty of nature.

Tina looks forward to growing alongside her fellow members and welcomes collaborations, coffee chats, and connection inquiries through either of her websites.
