Nicole Marcia (she/her), MA, MC, RCC, C-IAYT

I founded Fine Balance Counselling & Yoga Therapy to support healing through connection and care. My mission is to foster community, address trauma, and support people through life’s transitions.

I offer deep, consistent therapy, and ask for a commitment to weekly or bi-weekly sessions for best results.

My approach focuses on:

• Helping you feel seen and understood

• Creating a safe, affirming space

• Offering non-judgmental support

• Going at your pace

• Building a strong therapeutic relationship, which research shows is key to lasting change

Compassionate. Trauma‑informed. Deeply experienced.

I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor and Certified Yoga Therapist offering trauma‑informed care for those facing life’s toughest challenges. I believe healing is possible—and that we each possess the capacity to reconnect with our strength, dignity, and wholeness.

Grounded in 15+ years at the intersection of mental health, addiction recovery, and yoga therapy, I hold a Master’s in Yoga Therapy (Lesley University, 2009) and once led therapeutic yoga programs at BC’s Provincial Health Services Authority and Onsite, North America’s first supervised injection site.

Certified in Trauma‑Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY‑F, 2016), I mentored yoga teachers province‑wide and supported survivors of trafficking and marginalization. With a second Master’s in Counselling (City University of Seattle, 2024), I’m now a Registered Clinical Counsellor and CVAP provider.

Using EMDR, AEDP, and yoga therapy, I help regulate the nervous system, foster emotional healing, and deepen self‑understanding. I’m honored to offer specialized support and training for first responders.
