Everything you need to thrive is already present within you…

If you’re struggling with any of the following, there is hope!

  • Feeling stuck, disillusioned or in search of greater vitality in the 2nd half of life

  • Stress, worry, overwhelm, fatigue, anxiety, depression

  • Longing, melancholy, sadness, grief

  • Loneliness, feeling misunderstood, not belonging

  • Empathic distress, compassion fatigue, burn out

  • Lack of motivation, exhaustion, not living up to your potential

  • Chronic health issues (inc. autoimmune disorders, cancer, chronic pain,…)

  • Trauma (including childhood, ancestral, vicarious)

Despite what you may think, you’re not broken.

With everything you’ve been through- you survived!

Now it’s time to move beyond survival mode toward a life that’s truly worth living.

It all begins with embracing who you are- in all your wonderful quirkiness 💚

As you move toward greater alignment with your true nature, you’ll experience an increasing sense of joy, aliveness, and purpose in your life.

Together, we’ll explore what may be keeping you stuck:

  • Ingrained self-protective behaviours that no longer serve you

  • Self-limiting beliefs and stories about yourself, relationships, life…

  • Trying to prove to the world that you’re worthy and loveable

  • Difficulty handling “negative” emotions

  • Unresolved trauma or grief

  • Nervous system stuck in “threat” and/or “overwhelm” mode

  • Tuning into the needs of others at the expense of your own needs and wellbeing

  • Losing connection with your inner wisdom and true self

  • Separation from Nature and the more-than-human world

Our work together is not about fixing anything. It’s about helping you tap into your own innate ability to heal and thrive.


A note about overwhelm…

These are difficult times for all of us.

With all that’s going on in the world, it doesn’t take much to end up feeling overwhelmed.

This is especially true if you experienced loss or adversity early in life.

In addition, about half of women who seek therapy are “highly sensitive"- a personality trait found in 20% of the population.

It’s not a disorder, but without awareness and careful management, it can increase your risk of chronic stress, fatigue, overwhelm, anxiety, depression and despair.
