Why do I do this work?
Not because I can make your grief disappear,
but because I know what it's like to learn to tend a heart that's been broken open by loss. Because sometimes the bravest thing we can do is make peace with the wandering, and learn how to bloom—not despite our losses, but alongside them.
That’s what this space is about. I walk with others who are navigating the mess and the magic of loss, transition, and becoming. Together, we tend to what hurts, honour what’s been lost, and make room for new life to take root. For individuals navigating grief, life transitions, and the quiet complexities that often go unseen. My approach blends trauma-informed, narrative, and somatic therapy—holding space for the beauty of post-traumatic growth to emerge, gently and in its own time.

the business of creativity

With a decade plus spent as a wedding photographer and makeup artist, it was a photography workshop in Shreveport, Louisiana that introduced me to a newfound soul sister who would later encourage me to travel to California for a photography business retreat. It was there that I attended an energy healing and breathwork session for the first time and the trajectory of my life would be changed. That single session gave me the clarity that it was time to evolve my business. I could now see that I had been ignoring the inner nudges to grow. I had been pushing aside the waning creative spark, suppressing my emotions, confused by my anxiety and disconnection, and barely recognized myself outside of my job title. Thankfully, the universe got through to me in the end, and it was so freeing.
life crumbles and it humbles

I ended up calling in a home of my own with a whimsical English garden sprawling across the land. I quickly noticed that having my hands in the soil, and immersed in the colours, scents and energy of flowers in bloom brought me a sense of peace like no other - it became my sanctuary. The years that followed brought challenges that tested my resilience like never before. When life felt overwhelming and I wasn't finding the supports I craved, the garden offered solace, self-discovery and introspection, and helped me process the upheavals and losses that were reshaping my inner and outer world. And then, one quiet morning while gardening through my grief, I felt a deep, almost sacred call to turn my own experiences into a path of service. It was time to help others find their way through their own shadows.

Answering the call to become a counsellor led me to Rhodes Wellness College, where I completed my Professional Counselling Diploma. My practice weaves together somatic awareness, narrative exploration, and attachment-based work to name a few—each modality offering pathways to deeper self-connection, healing, and resilience. These evidence-based techniques, combined with my personal experiences, allow me to guide clients through grief, loss, life transitions, and the discovery of inner peace and authenticity. Each session honours the transformative potential within every individual, cultivating a sanctuary of growth and self-acceptance.
What To Expect
Aligning heart and mind for inner transformation
We may work with the ripple effects of loss, the nuances of relational trauma, or the quiet weight of grief that doesn’t always have language. Together, we’ll tend to what hurts, explore what’s calling for attention, and reconnect you with your own resilience and sense of agency. This process isn’t about rushing to feel better. It’s about learning to listen, softening where you've had to brace, and making space for what’s true.
