I’m Kotone Frankowski, a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC), Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), and IFS Level 1 trained counsellor based in Vancouver, BC.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, trauma-informed, and integrative. I incorporate Internal Family Systems (IFS/parts work), somatic approaches, attachment-based work, mindfulness, nervous system regulation, and psychoeducation to help clients better understand themselves and the patterns that developed as ways of coping, protecting, and surviving.

Rather than focusing only on managing symptoms, our work can explore what may be happening underneath them. This can include understanding protective parts, recognizing trauma and attachment patterns, developing a greater capacity to regulate emotions and the nervous system, strengthening boundaries, and building a more compassionate relationship with yourself.

I work with individuals as well as couples experiencing communication difficulties, attachment wounds, relationship conflict, intimacy concerns, and challenges related to trust and connection. I also welcome clients navigating ethical non-monogamy (ENM) and alternative relationship structures.

My goal is to provide a space where you can explore your experiences without judgement and at a pace that respects your nervous system, your history, and your individual needs.

Online counselling is available for individuals and couples. I also facilitate a low-cost weekly online CPTSD support group for people looking for additional connection, education, and support alongside their healing work.

I support adults dealing with trauma and difficult past experiences, anxiety, depression, grief, burnout, intrusive thoughts, relationship difficulties, and significant life changes. I also work with couples experiencing communication difficulties, recurring conflict, emotional disconnection, infidelity, betrayal trauma, and challenges with rebuilding trust.

My approach is collaborative and responsive to each client’s needs and goals. Depending on what brings you to counselling, I draw from EMDR, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), the Gottman Method, trauma-focused cognitive behavioural approaches, and trauma-informed practice.

Counselling is not about reducing your experiences to a diagnosis or label. My aim is to provide a respectful space where you can better understand what you are experiencing, examine patterns that may be affecting your life or relationships, and explore meaningful possibilities for change. Faith and spirituality can also be incorporated into counselling when this is important to you.

All appointments are provided online, making services available to adults and couples throughout British Columbia. A complimentary 30-minute initial consultation is available to discuss what brings you to counselling, answer your questions, and determine whether working together feels like a good fit.

Our chiropractor evaluates posture, spinal alignment, and nerve function to identify the segment driving discomfort, whether lower back pain, tightness between the shoulder blades, or tension headaches that shorten a workday. Precise, low-force adjustments restore joint motion and ease nerve pressure, while corrective exercises help sustain that progress between appointments.

We also address leg and calf muscle cramps that often trace to spinal irritation rather than the muscle itself. Every treatment plan is drug-free, non-surgical, and built around the root cause, ensuring relief that lasts well beyond the first pain-free day.

With a wholistic approach, I invite participants to journey with me through the Seasons of the Year.

Using breathwork, reiki, hands on healing, art, intuitive guidance, psychedelic medicines, teachings, ritual, practical everyday mindfulness tools, coaching and integration, I help people tap into their Flow State so that they may experience more magick, wonder and awe in their everyday lives.

Through Tranquil Spirit, I specialize in:

• Reiki Healing & Energy Alignment to restore harmony and flow

• Soul Discovery & Spiritual Coaching for clarity, purpose, and guidance

• Shadow Work & Inner Child Healing to integrate and transform old wounds

• Ancestral & Chakra Clearing Practices for deep energetic renewal

• Personalized Wellness & Integration Support tailored to your unique journey

All of my services and workshops are offered virtually, making it easy to connect no matter where you are. Whether you’re seeking stress relief, emotional healing, spiritual growth, or a deeper connection with yourself, Tranquil Spirit provides a nurturing space for transformation.

My passion is walking alongside others as they reclaim balance, clarity, and wholeness. Each session is guided by compassion, intuition, and the intention to help you feel empowered, supported, and aligned with your highest self.

Humans can exert physical forces to effect change, but only Spirit can direct spiritual forces of the Spiritual realm. Each healing act requires an intelligent and unique focus.

When we are spiritually healthy, our physical body will reflect this.

Kelsey takes a systems approach to her work – identifying the ways that capitalism, patriarchy, colonization, and ableism impact all of us. While Kelsey welcomes all people into her practice, she specializes in supporting women and teen girls to navigate the burnout and exhaustion that comes from living within these systems, reconnect with their bodies and emotions, tend to their needs, and make choices that are in line with their true desires.

Kelsey is a Registered Clinical Counsellor with a Masters in Counselling Psychology from the University of Victoria, and she has additional training in EMDR. Over the past several years she has worked in a multitude of therapeutic settings ranging from trauma and addictions work with unhoused folks coming out of incarceration, to supporting kids and teens with anxiety. For the past few years, she has run a thriving private practice both online and in-person on Salt Spring Island.

Kelsey supports her clients with burnout, anxiety, grief, self-worth, self-care, communication and conflict resolution, trauma processing, emotional regulation, and navigating transitions. However, she most loves to support individuals who are ready to move toward greater fulfillment by re-discovering their true self and re-connecting with their joy and longing. Kelsey also weaves spirituality and ritual into her work where it is desired by her clients.

Kelsey approaches her work from a variety of perspectives and is always willing to meet clients where they are at and modify her approaches to suit the needs and preferences of her clients. Her approach weaves in elements of coaching, relational and interpersonal therapy, attachment theory, emotion-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and somatic techniques. All the work she does is founded in trauma-informed practice. This means that Kelsey is always deeply sensitive to her client’s emotional state and felt sense of safety in her sessions.

Kelsey works with all genders, but specializes in working with women and teen girls (ages 12 and up). She has experience in anti-oppressive practice and working with queer folks and LGBTQIA2S+ communities.

Kelsey grew up on so-called Salt Spring Island, BC on the unceded, ancestral lands of the SENĆOŦEN and Hul’q’umi’num speaking People. When she’s not at Madrona, you can find her curled up on the couch reading a book with her baby, or out on a paddle board with her pup.
