ABOUT
I used to have what I now refer to as my "resume" of emotional and physical injuries and illness, complete with examples of every therapy and every medical session I had attended in an effort to fix them.
​
Every appointment, and there were many, started out the same. A long list of every practitioner I'd seen, every example of why it didn't work followed up by a desperate plea to please help fix me. Appointment after appointment I became more discouraged until finally I resigned myself to the fact that I would be forever in pain.
​
I had lost hope. I read stories of others who had conquered chronic pain, but assumed they were more mentally strong or more disciplined than I was; neither was true.
​
Having explored many teachings and modalities in my pursuit of healing through chronic pain and trauma; I’ve landed on what I believe to be important aspects of wellness. These include a desire to feel safe, to feel seen, to feel heard and understood; to develop self-compassion and the capacity to look at ourselves through a lens of curiosity and grace; and to build internal trust by exploring and respecting our yeses and nos. I believe a safe and attuned coaching/counselling relationship is one way to build on these strengths.
​
I would like to support you in your journey back to wellness. Let me show you what your mind is capable of when feeling hopeful and empowered.
​
Through wellness coaching, I support clients to slow down and mindfully explore the connection between their mind and body, thoughts and feelings, and to build curiosity around their wellness needs and how they might be best able to meet those needs. Wellness coaching rests on the philosophy that the client is the expert in their own life.
​
The role of a coach is to support clients to:
​
-Discover, clarify, and align with what they want to achieve
-Encourage a client’s self-discovery
-Elicit client-generated solutions and supports
-Encourage the client to continue to move forward with their plan
The desired impact of coaching is empowerment and self-aligned care.
