Welcome, friend, welcome, thank you for landing here.
A little about who and how I am in the world.
First up, I am a seeker. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been trying to understand and make sense of humans. Why we do the things we do, why we are who we are, why we’re here, what we’re doing basically floating around space on a big rock.
I’ll get back to you when I have the answers.
I will tell you that I think it’s all for the purpose of growth. To expand and stretch our souls to the very outer edges of comfort, so that we can evolve, so we can raise our consciousness, both individually and collectively. It’s a bumpy ride at times, but that’s ok; with each challenge we learn and grow and awaken a little more. It’s in mud that the lotus can grow…..
I’m a fierce Mama Bear, graciously fortunate enough to guide, along with my partner, two little humans who are the source of my deepest love, richest learning, and greatest pride. They are exquisite.
I write and record guided meditations and healing poetry, which are available here on my site, as well as on the Insight Timer app.
I have a deep passion for understanding trauma and its impact on us and how we show up (or don’t) in the world. Some of my favourite teachers include Peter Levine, Bessel Van Der Kolk, Gabor Mate, Tara Brach, Pema Chodron, Deb Dana, Pete Walker, Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Stephen Porges, Dick Schwartz, and Dan Siegel. My training includes modalities such as MBSR, IFS (Internal Family Systems) and NARM (Neuro-Affective Relational Model) specific to early, developmental, relational and complex trauma, the area of healing I’m mostly deeply passionate about, and I currently practice as a Senior Trainee Psychotherapist.
My hunger for learning never exhausts. As long as I am breathing, I will continue to grow, evolve and help others do the same. I sit with others in their darkest and most confusing moments, holding the light up so they may find their way back home. It is a profound privilege to get to do so.
If you like my content, please feel free to share it. If you’re looking to find guidance and work with me, you’re welcome to get in touch and arrange a free 15 exploratory session.
I hope you have a fabulous day and a beautiful life,
In kindness
