Kyle Cheveldayoff, Registered Psychologist
About Kyle
Having worked as a Kinesiologist, Physical Therapist, Firefighter, and Psychologist (for ten years), I consider my approach to be that of a personal trainer for stress management and to optimize areas of Mind, Body, and Spiritual wellbeing. As you learn to balance and activate these systems, your external life will adapt to match your new internal state.
Keep in mind that where your attention goes, energy flows. And, from a neurophysiological perspective, nerves that fire together will wire together. My goal is to teach you fundamental techniques that will be tools in your wellness toolbox and utilized in your everyday life. You will in a way become your own therapist to better understand your unique self.
Currently, I see clients in person at Purely Wellness in Duncan and over phone/video. Regular workshops are offered at Purely Wellness and are also available at a location of your choice. In addition, I offer local and remote support for staff through stress-management courses, Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM), and staff support (e.g., Remote camps, First-Responders, RCMP/VAC, Schools, staff development).
I often work with people who already have a therapist, to offer unique ways and specific skills to complement their work with another counsellor or healthcare provider (e.g., mindfulness-meditation, stress management). Visit my website www.spiritualevolution.org for more information about my background and to better understand my psychological approach to wellness.
You are welcome to schedule a 15-minute free phone call to ask any questions and see if my approach resonates with you.

This workshop is available for teens through to seniors, families, groups, and organizations to equip participants with a fundamental understanding of the stress-response (the sympathetic nervous system) and how Mindfulness-Based Interventions (MBI's) can turn on the relaxation-response (the parasympathetic nervous system). This can assist with stress reduction, post-operative, athletic performance, chronic disease, and for psychological imbalances.
The techniques taught are a valuable adjunct to anyone already working with a health professional and for those seeking to ready themselves to process past traumatic information through EMDR, Prolonged Exposure Therapy, or other psychological interventions that require grounding in the present moment.

This workshop is available for teens through to seniors and can assist you in connecting to the Universe in your own way to manifest what you deeply desire in life. This technique also assists people in establishing a daily meditation practice that can bring balance in areas of mind, body, and spiritual wellbeing. Whether a Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, Atheist, or other, if you come with an open mind and open heart you will leave with some new insights and meditation skills.
Learn the 3-part “PCM Technique” to harness the power of prayer, to focus the mind in contemplation, and finally rest in the meditation “sweet spot.” This technique teaches you how to connect with your Guides, Angles, Higher Self, Christ Consciousness, Buddha Consciousness, or anything else you resonate with.

Workshop: Mindfulness-Meditation Fundamentals
NEXT WORKSHOP(S):
* Date to be determined *
Interested? Email Kyle to let him know.
This 2-hour introductory workshop on Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is open to teens through to seniors, offering powerful tools to break free from negative thought patterns, reduce stress and anxiety, and begin to build emotional resilience. Discover this evidence-based approach that blends mindfulness practices with cognitive therapy, proven effective in preventing depressive relapse and enhancing wellbeing.
In this practical workshop, I'll introduce core MBCT principles including: First, cultivating present-moment awareness to spot autopilot reactions and attached emotions early. Second, "decentering"—learning to observe thoughts, feelings, sensations, and impulses as passing mental events, rather than personal truths. And finally, practicing acceptance and letting go through guided exercises like mindful breathing and body scans, to help you shift from a mental state of "doing" to a state of "being," while tuning into how emotions show up in the body.
Backed by extensive research on neuroplasticity, incorporating aspects of MBCT into your life can spark profound changes.
Cost: $99 (receipt available for insurance)
By reservation only, min four participants, max 16.

Interested? Email Kyle to let him know.
Are you up for an 8-week bootcamp to learning mindfulness-meditation skills that could change your relationship with everyday life? This workshop is available for teens through to seniors, empowering you to break free from negative thought patterns, reduce stress and anxiety, and cultivate lasting emotional balance through Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). Over eight weeks (2 hours per session), you'll learn this evidence-based approach that integrates mindfulness practices with cognitive therapy techniques, proven to prevent depressive relapse and enhance overall wellbeing across mind, body, and spirit.
I will guide you through the core MBCT practices, including: First, building present-moment awareness to recognize autopilot habits and difficult situations mindfully. Second, decentering from thoughts, emotions, sensations, and impulses—viewing them as passing events rather than defining truths. Finally, embracing acceptance and letting go, using tools like body scans and breath mindfulness to interrupt rumination, foster a sense of being (rather than constant doing), and tune into how emotions manifest in the body for healthier responses.
Backed by decades of research, MBCT harnesses neuroplasticity through daily home practice (45-60 minutes) to rewire your brain for resilience. Imagine gaining practical skills to navigate life's challenges with calm, clarity, and compassion—many participants report profound shifts in mood and outlook on life. Join this transformative "cross-training" for the mind and unlock a more grounded, joyful way of living!
Cost: $99/session (receipts available for insurance)
A free follow-up workshop will be provided for those who complete the full course of eight sessions.

Saturday, February 7th
10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
at Purely Wellness
This workshop is available for teens through to seniors, empowering you to release emotional and energetic blocks and manifest your deepest desires. Over two hours I will explain the Psychological Intervention called Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), also known as tapping. This technique has been found to clear limiting beliefs, reduce stress, and foster emotional balance across mind, body, and energetic systems.
Over 2-hrs I will explain and demonstrate how EFT can be used in a modified 3-part process to: First, identify and acknowledge emotional issues through setup statements that affirm self-acceptance. Second, tap on key meridian points while focusing on the problem to neutralize disruptions in your energy system. Finally, install positive affirmations during tapping rounds to rewire thoughts and invite abundance.
Backed by extensive research, EFT is recognized as an evidence-based practice that's remarkably effective for anxiety, depression, and even PTSD—often delivering rapid relief in just minutes. Imagine leaving the workshop with a powerful, easy-to-use tool you can apply daily for lasting calm and transformation. Join us and discover why countless people, from everyday individuals to high-performers, rave about the life-changing freedom tapping brings!

Workshop: The Law of One and Reincarnation
RESERVE YOUR SPOTNEXT WORKSHOP(S):
Sunday, March 8th
1:00 PM - 3:00 PM
at Purely Wellness
This 2-hour introductory workshop on the Law of One welcomes spiritual seekers of all ages—teens to seniors—offering profound insights into the deeper meaning of life, the cycle of reincarnation, and how our current global disharmony fits into a greater cosmic plan. Drawing from the timeless teachings of the Law of One, discover how: We are eternal souls experiencing the illusion of separation to evolve through love, wisdom, and understanding of self and others.
In this heart-opening session, explore: Reincarnation as a compassionate cycle of soul growth across lifetimes; the meaning of life as choosing a path of Service to Others (STO) or Service to Self (STS) to "polarize" in consciousness; Earth's ongoing "harvest" or “ascension” into higher vibrations; how global upheavals, climate changes, and Sun activity serve as catalysts for personal and collective awakening; and your Higher Self as an eternal guide, supported by Angels and spirit helpers.
This wisdom brings profound peace, reframing challenges as sacred opportunities for evolution and seeing every being as a divine reflection. Many seekers find renewed hope, compassion, and clarity amid turbulent times and personal struggles. Join this transformative journey to understand and embrace oneness and immediately step into the greater harmony of Life!

Service Details
VIEW BOOKING OPTIONSI currently work with clients individually and in groups over video, phone, and in-person at Purely Wellness in downtown Duncan. I bring a spiritual awareness to my counselling, without any religious underpinning, that can assist in deepening your understanding of the Universe and your place within it. I also offer several group courses and workshops which allow people to rewire themselves through meditation and mindfulness techniques. I suggest for my clients to try one of my group courses as they are cost-effective and are usually covered by extended health plans. These group courses are not “talk therapy” and are instead “skills building” to empower you with powerful and practical skills to harness the power of the mind. Theses groups are open for teens through to elders and can be taught at workplace settings and schools.
Over the years I have worked with individuals, couples, families, groups, and have provided specialized services for employers in areas of mindfulness/meditation, stress-reduction, assistance for first responders, and areas of critical incident stress management (CISM) for workplace incidents. Visit my website for more details as it is currently being updated. I have also completed my psychedelic facilitation training and offer counselling for people seeking to integrate experiences from their journeys.
