My work is my passion. I have known from a very early age that it is my mission to help others. But first, I had to learn how to help myself. It’s been quite the journey to get where I am today…

I am a settler living on Treaty 6, Territory in Canada. Born in raised in Saskatchewan, much of my family roots are grounded in the flat plains of the Canadian prairies. While work and unique projects have kept me close to home, my appetite for self-discovery and adventure has found me gallivanting the globe to explore healing modalities, eco-communities, and holistic lifestyles that not only quench the soul but also satisfy the mind and body.

The journey that led me down the path of somatics and energy psychology was actually quite a turbulent one. With a background in Marketing from the Edward School of Business at the University of Saskatchewan, I spent much of my 20s people-pleasing and hitting burnout. I fell into the trap of believing ‘the grind’ was the way to achieve success. While my career in marketing and communications provided some absolutely amazing opportunities working alongside friends, with talented individuals, and immersed in fun projects - I just wasn’t fulfilled. Something was missing. It took me a while to find what that was…but things started to shift fast when I did.

In 2018 on a whim, I traveled to Toronto and took a course provided by the National EFT Training Institute. I was already familiar with Acupressure Tapping as I was introduced to that modality in the jungle of Costa Rica four years previous. I just knew this was it, a road less traveled but I was up for it.

I spent the next 5 years in private educational institutions and learning centers gaining knowledge on trauma, the autonomic nervous system, primo vascular system and learning about self-regulation techniques like Acupressure Tapping, Emotional Freedom Techniques, Conscious EFT, and Havening Touch Techniques. This was totally and completely different than my previous world but it provided me both personally and professionally with such richness and fulfillment that I had to follow it…this feeling of purposeful work and joy.

In 2021, after being diagnosed with AD[H]D, my desire to help others using these tools grew exponentially. Being a neurodivergent in a world set up for neurotypicals can be extremely difficult, confusing, and exhausting. Trust me, I get it! The diagnosis armed me with a better understanding of my past struggles including a decades-long eating disorder, the complexities of my own nervous system, and how to keep myself safe - I just feel so lucky to be healthy and in a position to support and educate others.

I have carved out a path and career for myself that I absolutely love. I am back in the formal education sphere, taking Professional Addiction Studies through McMaster University. My ultimate goal is to continue to educate individuals on the power of self-regulation and nervous system health while empowering individuals to take the lead in their own healing and recovery journey.
