Meet Paula Thibaudeau

Untitled design (8).png
Certified Herbalist, Quantum Healing Specialist, Certified Hypnotherapist, Certified Reiki Master, Health Coach, Chi Gong Instructor and Migraine and Hidden Illness Coach

Meet Paula, a holistic wellness coach, energy healer, herbalist and hypnotherapist (specializing in past and early life trauma).

Paula has been a holistic practitioner for over ten years and an Ancient Tradition Spiritual Guide for more than 35 years. Her belief is that true healing must be more than the temporary relief of symptoms, often using chemicals and ‘therapies’ that can have side effects almost as bad as the illness itself. Paula offers a homey, safe, comforting space for healing to take place. She believes that a cold and sterile setting has its surgical place but for getting to the root of chronic, spiritual, trauma and grief centered problems it is more beneficial to feel a sense of safety and comfort. It is more important to feel a connection with your healing guide than a sense of clinical, distant detachment and textbook referencing. Without a feeling that someone is listening to you as an individual that is more than a collection of body parts and neurons firing, many women simply remain in an ever spiraling mess of chronic illness and repetitive symptomatology. There must be a willingness on the practitioner’s part to listen to and hear the inner voices of women and girls to determine the root causes of dis-ease and illness. As a healing practitioner, Paula approaches her clients with empathy and shared experience. One of her main goals is to bring wellness and healing to women and girls who suffer from invisible illnesses such as Migraine, Fibromyalgia and CFS. She is well aware of the effects of trauma and long term grief and how those emotional states can exacerbate or even trigger other illnesses. Rather than offering a single healing modality to her clients, Paula offers a customized program based on each individual person’s experience. No two people are alike, even if they have shared an experience together and they are going to react and heal in different ways, responding to different wellness options. Paula is a long term sufferer of chronic migraine and fibromyalgia. She has also experienced deep seated grief and trauma and brings a sense of compassion to her programs…she knows what it’s like to live daily with issues that nobody can ‘see’ or understand. She can guide you to a better understanding of your own condition and offers a multi-tiered approach to getting better holistically. Paula’s unique, targeted Healing Programs take your whole self into account from past to present and on into the future. Paula’s specialties and training include: *Certified Herbalist, Herbal Apothecaria and Dispenser *Certified Hypnotherapist (specializing in past and between lives and early life trauma) *Certified Herbal Thai Reflexologist *Certified Reiki Master (Usui and Quantum) *Certified Coach with specialties and certification in: Grief and Trauma, Invisible Illness, Holistic Nutrition, Sustainable Living *Certified Kinesiologist *Vaginal Herbal Steam Dispenser and Guide *Integrative Movement Instructor (Seated and Standing Qi Gong) *Meditation Instructor *Automatic Intuitive Writing Instructor *Shinrin Yoku Guide. *Holistic Self Defense Instructor Paula has a keen, intuitive, no-nonsense approach to finding the deep seated sources of girl’s and women’s health issues that guide you to where your healing needs to begin. She has seen so many women suffer over the years, listened to stories told by her grandmother, mother, sisters, aunties and friends of how they experienced ongoing suffering because they were just never listened to. Or their experiences were and are dismissed. Rather than being heard they were given something to try. According to many women, it felt “like I was being given something to shut me up and get me out the door”. That won’t happen here. Paula is here to advocate for you, listen to you, guide you to wellness and even safety if needed. She helps women to find and take back their own intuitive voice, their own power of healing and finally control over their own lives, health and emotional, physical and spiritual destiny!

If you are looking for a way to simplify your life, get back to basics and understand that stuff and busy-ness do not equate to happiness, we can help. We can look at the things that are tying you down and help you to let go, give up and be free of much of the modern crap that can make you feel like Jacob Marley dragging around the chains and padlocks and weights of what modern life tells you that you need. You will learn to have more with less, live more sustainable and bring a bit of breathing space into your life.

Hypnotherapy (including past life exploration)

We specialize in using hypnotherapy to explore early and past life trauma as well as between lives exploration. By letting your daily, active "monkey mind" take a back seat and your subconscious bubble to the surface, you are guided to retrieve hidden memories that can help you to understand different behaviours, fears, illness and ideas that may not have a 'reasonable' explanation or source.

Grief healing

Grief takes a different path for each of us but we can sometimes get stuck. We can also feel pressure from others to just "get past it or over it already". But grief becomes a part of us and shapes us from its inception. The key is in accepting it and allowing it to be part of you in the most positive way possible., even allowing you to maintain a connection with your loved one(s) on the other side. A deeply spiritual journey that helps you to come to grips with your loss as well as navigating the new reality in the world around you when not everyone understands.

Migraine and Hidden Illness Coaching and Coping

So many women suffer from what are termed "invisible illness' Conditions that are not obvious to people who look at you and don't see an obvious disability. But illnesses such as Fibromyalgia, Migraine, Anxiety and CFS can cause the sufferer to live in a chronic, spiraling nightmare of pain, fatigue and contempt or disbelief from others. It is not very long ago that women were simply labelled 'hysterical' and given strong drugs, told to get over it or even institutionalized for suffering with these debilitating illnesses. And not much progress has been made, all things considered. These are not well understood conditions and often there is little support or relief. There is help here though and the support is empathetic. You will be educated, supported and taught healing and coping tools to help you to navigate and painful world fraught with mines and booby traps.

Services

Using a multitude of healing and coaching modalities we look at where you are in your life, at what the imbalances are and we guide you to make the changes that will bring back a sense of wellness, control and the ability to heal yourself. Healing of any sort is not necessarily easy. It doesn’t happen overnight. But with time, balanced measures and a personalized program you can set out on the path to a new, better, healthier life that is sustainable and long lasting.

We do not offer single, one-modality session.

​

When you become a client we look at the different types of healing and wellness strategies that best suit you and that may include a multitude of treatments and coaching.

 

At Harvest Moon Integrative Healing we have a unique payment system.

 

We decided that everyone deserves to feel healed, healthy and to have someone to talk to that is more personal than an anonymous phone call or advice that is contingent upon a high disposable income.

 

Not everyone has that and, in fact, many more are finding themselves in this situation.

 

With the rising cost of living, it is becoming harder and harder to have a little extra. Also, if you are a student, without current employment, disabled or a senior or you are a single parent trying to get to where there isn’t quite so much month at the end of the money, we get that.

 

We want to help as many people as we can to get more control of their own wellness, peace of mind and understanding.

 

 

We decided that instead of making this about monetizing wellness, we would just make it about helping as many as possible to be well…and to maybe encourage people to pay it forward.

 

 

Our payment system is as follows: Our flat fee for all services is $50.00 per hour.

This being said, we also accept fair trade and barter, meaning, something of $50.00 value in trade or service.

If you prefer to pay cash, that’s fine as well.

We still have bills to pay.

We also have a system where you can make a payment for someone in need which will be held in trust until that person comes along. If you can pay a little more, great! If not, we understand. If you are really having a struggle we can work something out.

We will not turn you away if you need the help and healing.

​

How does trade and barter work?

\

Traditionally, to use a trade and barter system, a good or service is exchanged for a good or service where the two things are of equal or about equal value.

That means that a service’s value is decided on and a fair exchange takes place on the same day.

Cash is also an acceptable trade in energy, but not everyone has disposable cash when the need arises. So what are some things that you can use for barter and trade, not just for services here at Harvest Moon, but maybe with family and friends as well?

Do you cook?

Maybe you create amazing lasagnas or cabbage rolls or cinnamon buns.

Perhaps you bake bread.

Or you have a wonderful recipe for chocolate cake.

The key is deciding what you would charge for your creation were you to sell it and apply it to the service fee you are seeking.

So, one session here at $50.00 per hour is the equivalent of 10 loaves of bread or 3 chocolate cakes, two lasagnas, etc.

Do you style hair or do dog grooming?

Are you a vegetable grower?

Did you take down a tree and have firewood to exchange? Do you knit or sew or do woodwork? Or maybe you have a gift card that you don’t want to use but can use it to barter. When you enter into a trade and barter economy you need to be creative.

You might have a table and chairs to trade for a medicinal tea package.

 

Here are some other ideas for you to use to create a barter economy with friends and family that can benefit all.

Goods:

*Baking

*Frozen Meals

*Fresh eggs

*Wild game

*Gift Cards

*Garden vegetables

*Unwanted furniture

*Honey

*Textiles (knitted/sewn/woven articles)

*Homemade Soap, Botanicals

Services:

*Haircutting

*Pet grooming

*Landscaping

*Carpentry skills

*Mechanical skills

*Moving/hauling

*Repair/handyperson work

Be creative! What you do or have, to exchange, is energy…just as our healing services and goods are energy. We are all about valuing who you are not how much money you make or don’t make. And just because it isn’t on the list, does not mean it has no value. Reach out. We are here to help.

​

​

We are only able to take female/female identifying clients at this time except in outreach programs. We are fully vaccinated and require all clients to be fully vaccinated as well, as we work with seniors and health compromised individuals of all ages.
