Our Story
The Roots of Starflower Psychotherapy
The Roots
The co-founders, Mandana and Melika, created the name Starflower Psychotherapy to reflect their shared vision. Inspired by the serenity found in nature, they chose a name that embodies what they stand for. The starflower, a resilient plant, thrives in a wide range of climates and locations. Its ability to bloom across the globe mirrors the co-founders’ deep respect for cultural diversity and the unique strengths each individual holds. Just as each individual can identify with multiple identities that intertwine, the starflower can appear in a range of colours. Some associate these colours with specific emotions that anyone can experience at various points in their lives.
The Elements
Throughout various regions, a shared feature of the starflower is that it can grow to have five petals. Some believe that the five petals represent the five elements reflected in nature. These elements include air, earth, fire, space/spirit, and water.
The Senses
The five petals of the starflower can also symbolize the five senses, namely hearing, sight, smell, taste, and touch. We take a holistic approach at Starflower Psychotherapy to acknowledge the multiple, co-existing factors that influence the individual whom you are.
