I’ve always preferred the road less traveled. Off the beaten track.

Walking in two worlds: along the river, through the forest. It hasn’t always been easy. But it is an adventure. My journey thus far has been a meandering trail through the natural world. Always guided by a longing to discover myself, to connect with others, to seek what is true. I’ve learned now that this longing for meaning and belonging many of us experience is most probably a longing to come back to ourselves. 

“Only when compassion is present will people allow themselves to see the truth.”
― A.H. Almaas

I’ve been many things in this life so far. Daughter, sister, lover, partner, mother, ally, friend. Broken hearted, trodden, beaten, torn. Sales associate, tea server, executive assistant, collaborator, team leader, change maker, advocate. Herbalist, reiki master, doula, midwife, therapist, coach. 

What I’ve learned is that my favourite thing to be is a Compassionate Listener and Enthusiastic Advocate. 

Both/and, being with, soft and strong.

I have a gift for co-creating and holding a safe place for people to explore and witness their own power and strength, and for seeing things from a different perspective. 

It often takes great courage and an enormous amount of self-compassion to face our deepest fears, sorrows and pains and, to find our voice, power and joy.  I believe we weren’t meant to do that alone. Humans are social creatures. We must find our own individual power and strength, but our collective power is greater in numbers. 

Let’s go find yours.
