I was born and raised in British Columbia, Canada. As a settler I am very fortunate to live and work on the traditional, ancestral and unceded lands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-waututh) Nations who have lovingly cared for this land that is otherwise known as Vancouver, BC. Each one of us has a unique story of how we got to where we are today. I find it fascinating and a true privilege to learn about others life experiences. When we start to share our stories more often than not there are commonalities that unite us in ways where we might have previously felt alone.
I also noticed that we habitually define ourselves based on the past, but very rarely do we define ourselves on who we want or think we can become. I believe there is great benefit from embracing our past and recognizing its gifts and lessons but often this is where we get stuck. We’d much rather judge ourselves, our past or blame ourselves or others for the circumstances that have occurred. For so long I defined myself this way and therefore was limiting myself and my future. This was before I realized it could be different.... |

Change is possible
As an Empath, I've been blessed with a very loving, supportive and fellow empathic family. Nevertheless painful experiences still happened. As a young child I suffered emotional trauma and sexual abuse that set in motion a grossly skewed perception of myself and the world. This carried into my adolescence where my family experienced more trauma and loss that perpetuated the destructive beliefs I already had.
For me, this developed into severe depression, anxiety, and self-harming habits. For the first part of my life I felt the opposite of self-love, I felt self-hate and it ran very deep in my mind. This ultimately led me to seek therapy in my teens. I began seeing clinical counselors, psychologists, self-harm specialists and a psychiatrist with (quite honestly) very little progress at healing or changing my state (with the exception of one grief counselor, who was very lovely). Not to say that these therapies and specialties are not immensely beneficial, but in my journey it was more of a stepping stone to keep seeking the support I needed.
I've also always been a natural 'helper', myself.
People often came to me for support or guidance from an early age. So, I've been lucky to always know of my calling and it was that deep longing to be of service and help others through their own suffering or challenges that seemed to continue to push me forward. I knew that if I ever actually wanted to genuinely help others someday, I couldn’t possibly do so if I hadn't gone through the fire and come out the other side myself, first.
I decided to broaden my scope and began working with energy healers, holistic counselors, intuitive coaches and hypnotherapists. Finally! I started to feel heard, seen and understood in a way that allowed me to feel like I could finally take a deep breath or a sigh of relief. I learned how to process my pain, change my limiting beliefs, which helped me to overcome my negative thought patterns & habits, and create a clearer and healthier perception about myself. The change didn't happen overnight, but my commitment to healing has brought me permanent changes and the ability to see my life and experiences with fresh eyes.
I discovered that so much of my own suffering was something I could control with my mind.
Turns out, our minds are profoundly more powerful than we realize. We do have the ability to heal and change AND it doesn't have to be as hard as we "think".
Truly learning this set in motion my deepest passion ~ to let as many people as possible, know this too.
This doesn’t mean that we don’t still experience trauma or tragedy and not to minimize all that I went through or what any of us go through, but rather to heal those wounds so that they no longer dictate our present or our future.
After reframing my beliefs I was able to come to a place of utter gratitude and understanding for every aspect of my journey. That it was all necessary for me to become the person I am today.
I learned how to take pain and turn it into strength; To take shame and turn it into acceptance.
Overcoming limiting beliefs, negative thought-loops or "bad" habits might seem impossible, but I promise you... If I can change the beliefs I had about myself ~ you can too.
I'd love the opportunity to show you how.

These holistic modalities solidified for me the type of ‘helper’ I knew I wanted to be. I completed my Certification in Clinical Hypnotherapy in 2008. I went on to complete intuitive training's, energy healing certification, a diploma of professional counselling, life coaching certification as well as become a practitioner of EFT.
Through my personal experiences, ongoing training and profoundly deep inner work, I’ve developed a sound understanding of how the mind and energy systems work in order to safely assist others on their journey of healing, building unshakeable self-belief and creating the life they want.
I believe this work is an ongoing quest and I am committed to my continued learning and growth. As it turns out my biggest hobby in life is personal development and empowering others to do the same, so that we can live our greatest destiny.
I am a spiritual investigator (of the mind and cosmos), a joy advocate and a champion for pursing your dreams! I bring years of lived experience, professional experience, humanness, curiosity, kindness, intuition, humor, and my empathetic heart when working with all my clients.
Aside from my passion of helping others; I also enjoy being active, nature, laughter, horses, singing, performing, hiking, travel, dance, photography and spending quality time with my wonderful family and friends.
