How it began....
My career in helping began at an early age. The neighbour boy and I collected bugs, displayed them in our tent, charged admission and sent the money to a local charity. He died several years ago and that makes our sweet beginnings even more significant.
Since that time, my career has centred around people and wellness. I spent years working in community services designed to reach those overlooked by society. Emergency Departments, mental health clinics, addictions, and crisis services were my area of expertise. For the past 20+ years I have focused upon my private therapy practice while continuing to train in other healing modalities. I have come to realize that Grievers are also a forgotten community. Through the years I have personally experienced both traumatic grief, and anticipated grief. I have experienced the free fall that grief can bring. I have learned that being a Griever makes us " different".
I have also studied as a Stillbirth Doula and offer an expertise in Pregnancy and Birth Loss and Trauma.
Mourning is essential to any grieving process. Unsupported grief risks becoming trauma. Finding a creative way into, and being with your grief is necessary. Through this process, grief can transform into honouring and recovery.
Presently I provide therapy for Ontario residents and online services for anyone globally seeking a clear, strong relationship with their Grief. Intention, Information, Inspiration, and Intuition are all important elements of my work. Grief needs a Revolution. I have launched The Grievolution as a means of "doing Grief differently" together.
I have done Grief all wrong. I have trained, learned and refined my wisdom to support your Grief.
I enjoy an active family lifestyle and truly try to "practice what I preach".
