A personal word about me:

I grew up swallowing my words. I was a little person who became an adult before her time. So it's no surprise that I should find myself today helping others find their voice, discover and own the uniqueness of who they are.

I manoeuvred my way through life, living it as best I could, but I always felt an underlying sense of not being fully engaged. There was always a restlessness in me I couldn't quite explain or put my finger on. Then one day I was brought to my knees by the death of my 14-year-old son. 

That tragedy was my wake-up call to the preciousness of life and the importance of being fully present to each moment.

I had to find a way to be more engaged in life and so began a healing process to find myself and my voice. I had to find a way to be more engaged in life. To fully embrace each moment. to be present. to feel, to hear, and to connect and so began a slow healing process in which I was to find myself and my voice.

I bought a journal and I started to write and I couldn't stop. The blank page was a place for me to voice the words I could not speak. I sought counselling from many different modalities; I read every self-help book I could lay my hands on. I took self-development courses and attended workshops. I walked out of a well-paying, secure but meaningless job and I applied for a position in an agency that served the community. I got the job I was to be in for the next ten years.

From there I studied to be a Life Skills Coach and took various other trainings such as Crisis Line Worker, Suicide Prevention,Sexual Abuse, journal writing courses, and many other cousrses and workshops. I also went to New York and Seattle to train in the Art of Empowerment and how to facilitate the empowerment of people. 

Fifteen years ago I decided to further my education. I went back to College and studied to become a Master Therapeutic Counsellor. Then I completed a Bachelor's of Science in Psychology degree.
