When we choose the path back to our true nature (our authenticity), we move toward authentic living and toward our potential. The journey of discovering and living who YOU truly are so that you can go on to live your best life is a journey and experience well worth taking.
This really is some of the most important work we'll ever do. I've lived it, and it's from my own personal growth experiences that led me to find my authentic self and to the answers in life I'd been searching for. It led me back to me. The journey and experience was not only profound, but freeing to finally connect the dots of my life, to connect to my authenticity and to put things that held such emotional charge, finally to rest. Finally, I felt inner peace. It felt like I was home.
I truly believe that the holistic multi-pronged approach combining work with the mind, body, spirit and heart truly faclilitates this kind of growth.
I am a certified coach/consulting hypnotist (certified in clinical hypnosis and in integrated attachment theory) with a Psychology degree and training in NLP, somatic processing and trauma. I humbly bring lived experience, authenticity, compassion and passion to this work with you. With a background in the corporate world, my path now includes giving back to the workd by facilitating clients' journeys back to themselves,
It is an honour to be able to do this work. I am deeply committed to guiding and supporting you in your journey so that, as you go forward in your life, you know all that you are and your worth and that you take yourself into consideration in everything you do and want to do. I also hope to help you feel empowered and inspired in this journey of breaking habits and belief patterns, so that you can allow the REAL you step up and show up in your life and live the life you desire.

In my own personal growth and healing journey, I had a lot of 'blocks' and "stories"-- limiting beliefs and patterns--from my own childhood attachment trauma that were affecting me in my adult life.
These 'wounds' showed up in my adult years in a number of ways-- tendencies for people-pleasing, co-dependency, seeking love, validation and approval, perfectionism, self-sabotage and feelings of unworthiness and not good enough. I also realize that growing up, I never developed a sense of who I really was, if that makes sense, nor was it encouraged of me. I focused on everyone else, especially needing/wanting to please my parents. wanting to be a "good girl". I made myself small in many ways as an adult. I also carried a lot of deep anger inside for many years too, as a result.
I just thought all of these things were normal, part of normal life. I never questioned it. But underneath it all I always strangely had a sense something was not quite right in me...I felt different. I didn't want people to know I wasn't 'perfect. But inside wondering: what was wrong with me? Why couldn't I be better? Why am I this way? Why couldn't I change? Sometimes, it felt like I was trapped by my own mind.
I had followed my favourite inspirational, spiritual and thought leaders all my life and learned lots through them. But none of them taught me as much as when I learned about attachment styles. I finally had the personal breakthrough of understanding why I was the way I was. I woke up to a harsh knowledge that I did in fact experience childhood trauma, from the experience of a little girl, and how I brought my responses/coping into my adult years...as many of us do. I learned that we all come into our beliefs and behaviours through life long conditioning...we didn't invoke them on purpose, we didn't choose them. It was THE biggest relief and validation to know I wasn't alone and that it wasn't my fault. That this was part of the human condition for the majority of the world who have experienced some form of childhood trauma. It wasn't my fault, nor my caregivers' fault....they did the best they could do. And so did I.
What followed was a lot of personal growth work: so much self-discovery, self-awareness, reprogramming of beliefs and patterns, learning healthier strategies for living and thinking, inner child work, self-hypnosis and guided visualizations, somatic processing...all of it profoundly healing and enlightening.
Then one day I'd finally woken up from this trance I felt I'd been under. I could see myself, my worth and my life so clearly for the first time in my life. The wounds and my patterns no longer played the huge role as they once did, and no longer held the emotional charge that kept me down.
To live far more consciously, intentionally and authentically... to feel fulfilled, free to be me and light, at peace, grounded and whole...to know my worth and my strength... is such a gift. It truly changed my life. I continue to learn and grow. This kind of change and growth is not for the faint of heart. It is the hardest work I've ever done but 100% worth all of it.
You know what else I learned that was really very cool and profound at the same time? That what I was searching for and truly longed for all those years....was the real ME, that I never knew was there all along. This was most beautiful part of my journey. Finally, a solid sense of self. Finally, connecting to my authentic self. Finally, discovering my authentic gifts. It's led me to this important work to now pay it forward...to help guide you back to you.
I am proof that it's never too late.

When I felt like I couldn't see my way out of a situation, or I didn't know what to do at points in my healing journey, I’d close my eyes and with panic, I'd ask myself "What do I do?!! What do I do?!!". I really didn't expect anything to come of it. It was just a rhetorical question. But you know, after a while, a strange thing happen
When I felt like I couldn't see my way out of a situation, or I didn't know what to do at points in my healing journey, I’d close my eyes and with panic, I'd ask myself "What do I do?!! What do I do?!!". I really didn't expect anything to come of it. It was just a rhetorical question. But you know, after a while, a strange thing happened...if I stayed quiet long enough, I'd actually hear a small voice answer!
I made it a habit to close my eyes and ask "What do I do?". Time and again, if I waited long enough, this same small voice always answered with the best answer I could ask for. It was actually pretty cool. The voice didn't sound exactly like me so I wondered...who IS this speaking? Is this God?
I came to realize, after a while, that this small voice came from within me. It WAS me. It was a strange experience to struggle with something for days or weeks with something (at a conscious level). It was only when I'd turn inward to ask "What do I do?", that this "voice" ALWAYS, always, always came up with the wisest answers I needed. It's funny how I truly couldn't come up with any answers consciously on my own!
After many months of hearing this small voice answer me, it just naturally came to me in my mind...this voice is my "spirit mama". This is my inner guide. Every answer from this voice was so nurturing, wise, compassionate, gentle, kind and loving. "Spirit Mama" was so fitting.
Eventually, I realized was the voice of my 'highest authentic self'. Cultivating and connecting with this part of me has been such an unexpected, beautiful gift and blessing in my healing journey, to be able to sit quietly, connect to myself, listen for my own answers and hear my own truth. It is from this place of my highest self -- my "spirit mama"-- that I am a coach today, with a vision of guiding people who are hurting and struggling in this world toward, personal growth and healing, toward discovering and living their authentic self, so that they can thrive in a life they desire.
