Bio

If you are like most of my clients, you are a bicultural millennial woman looking to develop a healthier relationship with yourself.

 

You had to grow up quickly due to difficult experiences in your childhood or family, so you took on the role of being Strong. For a long time, you held everything in, minimized your needs, and bottled up your emotions because that was what you had to do.

 

Lately, you’ve started to feel the toll of living this way.

 

Suppressing your emotions has caused undue stress on your body; constantly keeping up an “image” or chameleon-ing around others has become exhausting; most of all, you’re tired of not having space for *you*.

 

  • You’re ready for a healthy outlet where you can express how you truly feel, and have the healing experience of being seen and heard.
  • You want to taste the freedom that comes with having permission to be your full, human self.
  • You’re ready to build a more loving relationship with yourself that is fueled by compassion over shame.
  • You recognize that this will open the gates to building deeper, more meaningful relationships with others, too. 

 

It would be my honour to support you as you start to come home to yourself. Together, we can:

 

  • Hold gentle, loving space for all parts of you – including the parts that feel hard to love
  • Tend to your emotions so they’re no longer suppressed and leaking out in harmful ways
  • Unpack your lived experiences and how they impacted both your past and present self
  • Support you to “reparent” yourself (a.k.a. give yourself what you didn’t receive in childhood) so you can start to shift your patterns
  • Celebrate you and all your big and small wins along the way.

 

While doing this deeper inner work may be uncomfortable at times, it may also be a meaningful form of self-care, with positive ripple effects reaching those you interact with in your life as well as the generations that come after you.
