Celina Jensen, wellness retreats in BC

Celina Jensen

Celina Jensen is in her final months of her training to become a registered clinical counsellor. This will be her second graduate degree, the first being a Master of Arts: Conflict, Security and Development from King’s College, London, which led her to her first career working with children and youth affected by war or natural disasters in Afghanistan, Haiti, Liberia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Prompted by the emotional stress she observed in those she was serving and, in her colleagues, Celina received training in meditation and yoga. Her internship supervisor, Bart Begalka, is encouraging her to integrate this into her clinical practice.
