My name is Cristine Rego – I am a registered social worker (RSW  #) from Lac Seul First Nation, currently living in the Peterborough area.

What you can expect from me:

The principles that guide my practice are…

The seven grandfather teachings, the medicine wheel, and land-based.

My approach to helping might be…

A combination of mainstream and Indigenous ways of being and knowing such as wholistic approach, Cognitive-behavioral therapy, trauma-informed, and brief or solution focused.

I have experience working with Indigenous people in the following areas…

Grief and bereavement, suicide assessment and self-harm, mental health, domestic violence, sexual and gendered violence.

The gifts I carry in my wholistic healing practices are…

I am a drum maker, a yoga teacher, and I am connected to the land. All of which hold values and teachings that are woven into my practice as a social worker, auntie, and sister.
