Christine Amuge (she/they), born and raised in Uganda-E.A, is a vibrant spirit coursing through life with the guidance of her heart, learning and leading through a holistic understanding of the world. In late 2017 she travelled and migrated to Vancouver Canada and with the immediate circumstances of her transition, gained lived experience while accessing social services from the city. She went on to start volunteering in some of the community resource centres, as she slowly discovered her passion for working with and connecting with youth. Growing up with limited resources pushed Christine to become creative in the way she met her needs and navigated daily life – giving her greater understanding of challenge and a variety of life-skills, impacting the space she holds today with youth experiencing adversity and living with barriers. ​ She is now furthering her studies with Rhodes Wellness College and is presently certified in life skills coaching and is currently completing her professional counselling diploma. She is informed in trauma, basic counselling, youth and family counselling, CBT, DBT, Narrative and Somatic therapy.

She steps into the work with humanness and humour, a holistic perspective and consistently remains client centred. She enjoys tapping into various therapeutic tools from expressive movement and creative work, to breath-work and guided visualizations, to emotional trauma releases and regulation support.

Genieve Morison has always had an innate curiosity about this life experience and loves diving deep into philosophical conversations and connecting with humans in meaningful ways. She is a creative artist, authentic and honest, and proud member of the LGBTQIA2S+ community. These elements have great impact on the space she holds and the work she does. ​ She was first launched into this work when she suffered a series of concussions, throwing her into unexpected trauma and transition resulting in an identity crisis and a variety of physical, mental and emotional challenges.
