If You’re Tired of Holding It All Together
You’re the kind of woman who can handle everything — the clients, the kids, the deadlines — but somewhere along the way, joy slipped quietly off your calendar.
You don’t want to burn it all down.
You just want to feel your spark again.
Waking Up to Myself
A few years ago, while recovering from cancer treatment, a mentor told me:
“You won’t truly know yourself until you work in a way that honours your nervous system and energy.”
At the time, I had built a thriving private practice on sheer hard work and always being there for my clients.
If you’d asked me then if I was stressed, I would have said no.
Not because I was lying — I had tuned so deeply into everyone else’s needs that I couldn’t hear my own.
Oddly, it wasn’t the diagnosis that woke me up.
Still running on high-functioning anxiety, my only thought was how to schedule treatment so it wouldn’t inconvenience anyone else.
Yep. That level of self-abandonment.
The Cost of
“Doing it right ”
For years, I believed that keeping everyone else okay was the key to success —
and in many ways, it worked.
My training gave me the skills to:
Hold space through complexity and distress
Identify patterns and pathways forward
Offer evidence-based strategies for healing
But the missing piece came when I finally turned that lens inward —
when the cost of my unrelenting standards and people-pleasing became too high to ignore.
I had been working from the neck up, disconnected from:
My body
My pleasure
My joie de vivre
This is my holy grail now —
a freedom-flooded experience where self-trust runs through my veins – like scaffolding for uncertainty.
How I Work
Years into unlearning and reimagining my approach,
I’ve learned that change doesn’t just come from fixing yourself — it comes from remembering yourself.
When you work with me, you get the full spectrum:
Strategy rooted in psychological science
Presence grounded in lived experience
Human to human. Heart to heart.
Freedom comes when you stop trying to upgrade your humanity and start honouring it.
It’s born from:
Befriending your rhythms, quirks, and cravings — and saying yes anyway
Laughing so hard you risk snorting tea — because joy matters more than poise
Dancing with your “cringey” parts instead of conquering them
I’ll be right there beside you — with science-backed strategies, nervous system care, and plenty of humour and heart — helping you remember what it feels like to be fully, freely you.
It is possible to…
Wake up with something to look forward to — not because it’s productive, but because it delights you
Move through your day with ease in your shoulders, guided by curiosity and wonder
Trust your rhythms like gospel
Connect with your full-bodied yes! to a spontaneous idea
Take the long way home because the sunlight on the trees made you gasp
This is your beginning —
not of striving, but of arriving.
And yes, my love — this is what a life worth wanting feels like.
