My Approach

I have a deep reverence for all life and a love of learning and sharing. My approach is one of compassionate exchange, listening and speaking from the heart, honouring the internal and external landscapes of our experiences, being in alignment (acceptance) with present conditions, drawing from Buddhist, Taoist and yoga philosophies and values; setting, discussing, and respecting boundaries; with an open and honest curiosity to what arises. I strive to take a decolonial intersectional approach, creating safer, more accessible spaces, with a focus on harm reduction and normalizing experiences.

I deeply believe we are all the best experts on ourselves. In my client-centered practice, you set the pace, create intentions/ goals and name the focus of our sessions together. I am here to support you unconditionally, without attachment to outcome, fixing or saving you.

I offer my spacious self, with sessions that can include guided meditations, embodied practices, holding space, re- and self-defining healing and self-care, safety planning, reiki, suggesting practical tools, toys & resources as requested, discussing intrinsic health, nervous system education and hacks, permission to be our authentic selves, and explore our innate worthiness.

Tears and laughter are always welcome!
