My Story

I have often wondered if a catepillar knows entering into the muck and goo of the coccoon, that on the other side of the process they will one day emerge as a majestic creature able to soar? Throughout my life, I have found myself in my own journey grappling with suffering, confusion, grief and wondering if there is another side of this experience. I have discovered there is.

Over the years I have worked with students and clients who have needed individualized support towards their wellness goals but have often faced many barriers that are unseen. The heart of my healing work is to be able to journey along side others, and hold the space necessary for them to realize their inherent worth, ability and find their own path to wellness. I dream of a time in culture and history where everyone flourishes. Its my life work to see that happen one person at a time. 

I live, work and play on the traditional and unceded territory of the Snuneymuxw First Nation, in Nanaimo British Columbia.

I am a West Coast gal through and through. I love taking time for contemplation to write, reflect and dream, exploring new ways to rest and play in a culture that pushes us to strive. I love the ocean air, fall leaves, reading, and adventuring around the beauty of Vancouver Isand.
