“you’ve got to know when to hold them, know when to fold them, know when to walk away, know when to run” ~ the gambler – kenny rogers 

discernment, compassion including self compassion is challenging. however without it we suffer.

my commitment to helping others find relief from suffering came from having experienced this relief myself from the ongoing practices within trauma aware mindfulness meditation & yoga – as a form of physical & mental therapy.  

You do not need to have had trauma to benefit from these practices and programs I offer. trauma aware mindfulness mentoring & yoga therapy is an integrative approach that transforms the relationship you have with yourself & challenging experiences. 

as a qualified clinical trauma health professional, rn, yoga & mindfulness mentor / teacher trainer – my dedication is to pass on these practices in a way that each person can tweak them to help their own unique set of circumstances.

trauma isn’t always caused by the traumatic ‘incident’ – it can be what happens inside of us or what we tell ourselves from how the situation was dealt with that can create  underlying dis-ease. 

recovery from dis-ease weather it be addiction, trauma or going through challenging changes, is a personal journey that no one else can take for you. however you do not have to suffer. you are worthy of the support required to find more ease and quality of life.

the biggest addiction we can have is the place where our mind dwells. this has a huge impact on how we feel about ourselves, others and the world we live in. 

 mindfulness is one of the top recommendations for treatment of depression, anxiety ,relapse prevention, PTSD & has a growing clinical evidence base for helping people resolve this form of suffering.

If you are familiar with experiencing the opposite to what you really long for most, For example you may long for feeling connection, contentment and self trust. Instead there’s a sense of disconnection, feeling inadequate, or overwhelmed with self doubt.  If left unaddressed this can lead to depression, anxiety and other forms of dis-ease, with a detrimental ripple effect for ourselves and those we love. our brain chemistry changes when living in chronic fear! thankfully there’s a way to change our brain chemistry to help us out!

you are worthy of support

I look forward to providing a safe space for you to practice building your own mindful toolkit to help transform your triggers into your best teachers & suffering into freedom of mind and heart. 

may we all be safe, happy and free & take the necessary steps to help make it so.
