So glad you’re here!
My mission is to support neurodiverse and midlife women in reconnecting with their bodies, working with their brains, and cultivating ease and well-being through nervous system regulation, somatic therapy, and neuroaffirming practices. I honor each woman's unique way of experiencing the world, empowering them to create a more joyful, fulfilling, aligned, & authentic life.
A little bit about me:
I believe our journey is two-fold : to be of service to others - you were put on earth to contribute something unique and indispensable; and to love and care for ourselves fully and completely.
To create the kind of world we desire in the present and future, we need to nourish sustainable and joy-filled lives; lives that gain their meaning beyond our ability to meet deadlines or external expectations. Prioritizing joy and wellness is a radical act. When we do this, we’re pouring back into ourselves so we can overflow with care for others and live our purpose.
Why do I have any business positioning myself as an “expert” in this area? I have been on a journey of 20-some years, exploring spirituality, mindfulness, personal development, along with being formally educated in social work. I have taught and trained at the post-secondary level and have worked within the K-12 education system for much of my career. Self-care has been a necessity to sustain my own practice, as well as something I help my clinical supervisees to personalize in their own lives.
I have lived in a hut on a beach on an island in Thailand completing a yoga teacher training; hiked to 6000+ ft on the Inca Trail in Peru; and sweated my ass off in Ceremony both in Canada and in Mexico. I am always looking to go deeper and know I am here to learn and grow.
I have applied what I have learned to my own life to overcome struggles with burnout and abuse in the workplace and a late diagnosis of ADHD. It was when I truly prioritized the values of compassion and well-being, and learned strategies that allowed to better honour my time and energy and fully inhabit my body, that things really shifted for me. My mission is to help other mid-life women ditch the overwhelm, find their way to great connection, joy and well-being while cultivating fulfilling and sustainable work and life harmony.
I would be honoured to support you in doing this.
