My story
I'm still growing, and I love it.
I've spent much of my life helping people with their problems. I'm not saying I should have been doing that, but I did.
In 2008, I moved to Victoria, BC, to run a bed and breakfast. I stepped off the ferry, never smoked another cigarette, and began a chapter of my life I could never have imagined.
Running the B&B meant meeting wonderful people who promptly left every day. So, with the little free time I had, I decided I needed to find some friends.
I spotted a poster for a meetup group and decided to go.
One of the facilitators led an exercise that blew my heart wide open. A heart I'd kept pretty tightly glued shut since I was a teenager.
I had absolutely no idea what had just happened, but I knew something extraordinary had.
It changed my life. Completely.
Over the next decade, I immersed myself in ontological coaching, leadership training, and mentoring, and eventually began training others in the same work.
But there was something else happening alongside all that training.
I had to do my own work. And I mean ALL of it.
Who did I think I was? What was I avoiding? What did I believe about myself? What did I value? How much love could I actually allow myself to experience?
And there was a lot to uncover.
The parts of me that believed I was unlovable, unworthy, not smart enough, unattractive, or a burden.
And equally, the parts of me that judged, controlled, shut down, lied, pretended, said yes when I meant no, and no when I desperately wanted to say yes.
None of it was particularly glamorous. But all of it mattered.
I wasn't interested in becoming a polished version of myself. I wanted to be all of me, as me.
And somewhere along the way, I began falling in love with the whole person.
My exploration continued into hypnotherapy, where once again I found myself under the microscope. I learned even more about the importance of knowing my own beliefs, interpretations, and reactions so they wouldn't get in the way of someone else's experience.
More recently, I spent two years studying psychic work, mediumship, and energetic healing of land and buildings, expanding the ways I explore and work with people and their environments.
And then there's the rest of my life.
I've worked in bars and hotels, run a bed and breakfast, done interior design, tried catering, worked in retail, and lived what feels like several different lives within this one.
I've loved creating spaces, bringing people together, making things beautiful, and discovering what can happen when you look at something differently.
For a long time, I couldn't figure out how to put all of that onto one website.
Now I realize I don't have to choose.
I get to bring all of it.
The coaching, hypnosis, psychic work, energy healing, decorating, cooking, creativity, conversations, laughter, and the endless curiosity I have about being human.
Today, whether I'm working privately with someone, facilitating Soul Capital, gathering people around a dinner table, or transforming a home, I bring everything I've learned and experienced to the work.
I love creating space for people to embrace all of themselves. To forgive what needs forgiving, apologize when it's called for, recognize their impact, and discover the extraordinary freedom that comes with seeing themselves clearly.
I'm deeply grateful for the life I've lived, the person I've become, and the life I continue to create.
And ultimately, everything I do is in service of love.
Love of self. Love of others. Love of animals. Love of the Earth.
All of it.
