Darlus Jonsson is an Advanced Practitioner of the Eden Method of Energy Medicine—one of only 17 practitioners at this level in Canada—following four years of intensive training in this evidence-informed approach to integrative healing.
She maintains a private practice in the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island and is a proud member of the Roots to Thrive team: Canada’s first multidisciplinary, non-profit healthcare practice offering Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy. This pioneering program is grounded in leading-edge research and designed to support healing and reconnection.
