About me

I have been in the health and wellness field for over 23 + years. When not working you can find me outdoors, gardening, hiking, travelling or dancing.

My work and volunteer experience in therapy/counselling, compassionate inquiry, adventure therapy, experiential learning and dance/movement have given me a wealth of knowledge and understanding about the human experience. Everyone's life journey is unique to them.

The gift I bring to each conversation and movement offering is my authentic presence, my ability to listen, and the belief that your inner resilience is waiting to be reclaimed to make the changes you seek in your life.  

Why I continue to work in this field:

I believe in the power of being witnessed and having safe spaces where we can unburden the pain and hurts accumulated by living. I'm here to help you remember who you are beyond your losses and embrace the grace and joy available in life again.
