About Kelowna Therapist Layne Paul

Hey, I’m Layne!

I’m a Registered Social Worker and an Integrative Mind-Body Therapist in Kelowna, offering both in-person and virtual sessions across BC. I work with women, young adults, and professionals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions.

My approach helps you connect with your nervous system, work with your anxiety, and turn insight into meaningful action. Healing happens when we feel safe in our bodies and intentionally create a life aligned with who we truly are. I’m honoured to support you as you grow, expand, and step into your fullest potential.

  • Authenticity

    Showing up authentically allows me to show up for you in a way that also encourages your own authenticity. Healing begins when we let go of who we think we should be and meet ourselves exactly as we are.

  • Attuned Presence

    I’m here to listen to more than just your words. Attunement means noticing what’s happening in the body, the breath, and between us in the space. It’s how I stay connected to your nervous system and my own — creating a grounded, responsive, and safe container for healing.
