Pooneh Erfan Born and raised in Tehran, Iran, Pooneh moved to Paris in 1977 where she studied Sociology and French at Universite de Vincent. She returned to Iran during the revolution and continued her education at the University of Tehran. Pooneh was continually active within the community as an aerobics, yoga and meditation teacher, as well as a mixed-media artist. She came to Canada in 1996 with her husband and 4 children. Pooneh graduated from the Textile Arts program at Capilano College in 1999 and in 2002 received her one year Integrated Clinical Counseling Certificate from the Cura Institute for Integrated Learning. Pooneh's approach to life and counseling, which is rooted in her experiences, consists of looking within oneself to find harmony, self-identity and authentic forms of self-expression by using methods such as reflexology, healing touch, and guided visualization. With these tools, she helps others achieve their personal comfort zone. Pooneh currently runs her own business, as well as a private counseling practice, instructs yoga, pilates and meditation classes, and sits on the Board of "Grant Jury" in West Vancouver.
