Discover what's possible
with Group Mindfulness.
For those who are wondering, “What is mindfulness exactly?” and are curious, consider our structured 8-Week Introduction to Mindfulness group. Over the 8-week period, you will learn how mindfulness can improve your daily life, your relationships with yourself and others, as well as your mental health. You will spend time learning, sharing, and most importantly, exploring a variety of mindfulness practices within a group setting.
Transform your story
with individual counselling.
Those looking for individual counselling may first book a complimentary 15-20 minute consultation to have an opportunity to get to know me, ask questions, and perhaps determine goals. Feeling emotionally safe is essential in the therapeutic relationship, so, let us take some time to get to know one another and make sure it is a good fit. I am accessible online - not only during the pandemic, always.
“Vulnerability sounds like truth and feels like courage. Truth and courage aren't always comfortable, but they're never weakness.”
