About Me

Life transitions, grief, or critical illness can feel deeply challenging. I offer a positive, practical, and down-to-earth space to help you navigate these experiences. We'll explore emotions, manage overthinking, and reduce stress, focusing on building body awareness. Our sessions might include mindfulness to help you stay grounded. This approach is ideal for anyone seeking tangible tools and compassionate support through difficult times.

Approach

When grief, loss or serious illness alters your daily rhythm, I help you notice small patterns and create clear, manageable steps that fit your life. Sessions in Waterloo or online, in English, are paced to your energy with short check-ins, gentle breath and movement, and room for creative expression. Between sessions you might try brief journaling prompts, audio practices, or simple somatic experiments to slow overthinking and strengthen body awareness. This way of working often helps adults seeking steady, practical support through big life shifts.
