"Connection is the energy that is created between two people when they feel seen, heard and valued; when they can give and receive without judgement"

Welcome! As a Certified Peer Support Provider, I am honoured to have been invited to walk with folks as they navigate struggles in order to explore and nurture a more fulfilling path.
I, too have had challenges and struggles, felt stuck and unhappy and continue to learn how to ride the waves of life. I believe connecting my personal experience with yours, creates more honest, open and authentic conversations.
My person-centred, solution-focused approach supports those who are ready to make positive changes in their lives.
Change isn`t always easy, sometimes its downright messy!
I believe that we all have the ability to navigate through the muck, and find the freedom we seek... we may need an empathetic and supportive guide along the way.
I would be honoured to be that person.
I am a Board Certified Peer Support Provider through Peer Support Canada. My professional training includes many aspects of Mindfulness and relaxation techniques, trauma and addictions recovery, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, LGBTTQ awareness, Mental Health First Aid, and suicide prevention. I have received certification in both the Applied Counselling Certificate Program at the University of Manitoba and the Mental Health Counselling Skills Certificate Program through the Crisis and Trauma Response Institute. I have achieved my Level 3 Usui Reiki training and have an extensive Yoga practice.
Peer Clients who work with me will often hear about thoughts journaling and re-evaluation, creation of their personal "coping tool kit", calming practices, and nurturing a perspectives-based outlook.
My intention is to connect with a peer client emotionally, spiritually and cognitively, and to walk with them as they integrate their past experiences with their current challenges and successes, so that they can move into a more fulfilling future.
I offer virtual or telephone sessions. I offer Peer Support for adults over age 18. I also offer a unique integrative Peer Support and healing Distance Reiki bodywork practice. This unique approach requires a minimum 90 minute session.
My affordable hourly fee starts at $60.
