Welcome

I love the symbolism of rivers and all that they represent. Rivers sustained our prehistoric ancestors who settled along their banks, and continue to be the backdrop for our gatherings, trade, and exploration. Some are so powerful that they carved out valleys, while others gently ferry along the stick and paper sailboats of childhood days. They are at once traveller and waymaker, life-giver and life-changer, constant yet ever changing. 

There are countless reasons why many of us find ourselves at the river, looking for a way out or across. Most of us are harmed by all we’ve experienced that we’re burnt out, displaced, and disconnected. Regardless of what may have led you to this moment, there’s no right or wrong way of arriving; I’m glad you’re here at last. 

I’ve had my fair share of river-crossings as my personal and professional lives have zig-zagged over the years, teaching me about our individual and shared struggles. I’ve seen time and again why healing isn’t often linear, despite our human preference for order or neatly curated lists. I’ve experienced too, how when we get upended in life’s currents, the pieces we’re left with don’t always fit back together the way they used to. 

It’s why I feel deeply committed to creating a landing space where we can slow down, tend to everything that once mattered, and take stock of all that still does. My hope is to meet you wherever you are on your journey and sit in the uncertainties and unknowns with you. Together, we’ll chart a course forward by reaching for hope, understanding and connection, whatever that may look like for you…with humour and compassion, and always, at your pace. 

Whether you’re in still or rushing waters, know that you don’t have to remain there alone. Reach out when the time is right. Let’s chat a bit and consider where your river may be taking you, what it’s revealing to you, and who it’s calling you to be.  

So glad you’re here,
