Child and Youth Mental Health Day, annually on May 7th, in Canada offers an opportunity to raise awareness of the struggles that our children and youth face today.

If you yourself are struggling or know someone who is, please reach out.

Maye the 4th be with you today.

Meaningful May.

Bring intention into everything you do and watch the world change around you.

Happy Maye 1st.

If you know.... You know.

Are you looking to get married in the near future?

One way to build a strong and happy marriage is through pre-marital counselling. Prepare and Enrich is a proven modality for building long and satisfied marriages.

Having taken pre-marital counselling myself I can speak to how important it is. Having a space to discuss difficult issues (and some we haven't even thought about) can go a long way to creating resilience for a couple.

If you have questions or are interested in booking some sessions before you get married please contact me for more information.

Get active April!

Get out there and enjoy the sun ☀️

You are strength and courage. Wishing every Woman a happy woman's day!

Mindful March!

If you know me, I'm always talking about mindfulness. I believe that it's the foundation for being able to use most skills well.

Definition of mindfulness: a mental state achieved by focusing one's awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one's feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations.

Did you know that the sun doesn't orbit the sun in exactly 365 days?

It actually take 365 days, 5 hours, and 48 minutes!

NASA says this is why once every 4 years we have an extra day on our calendar.

🤯🤯🤯🤯

Friendly February!

Take some time to connect with people this month.

Thank you for the great calendar

Look what I got in the mail!

Can't wait to read it and share it with others! Thanks .counselling

Who can relate...

I have found that I sit with my "searching for problems..." feeling and hope it will go away. More often than not, it doesn't and leads to unwanted anxiety.

When we experience moments like it's important to change it up. That can be as simple as getting up from your desk and walking around the office, going to get a drink of water, or stepping outside for a breath of fresh air.

Happier January 2024.

We could all use a little happiness to start the year off.

Better late than never they say.

What a wild end to the year. I hope this year brings everyone what they hope for. Remember to take time for yourself this year... You are worth it.

I enjoy updating the sign in my office every week. This one has a lot of truth behind it.

My favorite part is how poor the stars are. Lol.

New Ways November!

Looking to try something new this month? Check out these awesome ideas.

🎃 Happy Halloween everyone! 🎃

Have fun, stay warm (my Dragon onsie will keep me warm), and stay safe!

New office decor.

Optimistic October

It's official!

I finally handed in my paperwork (way overdue) and am now an official EMDR therapist.

Back to school brings up a lot of different emotions.

I like to use the three pronged approach to help ease any anxiety my kid might have.

Head - positive thinking and self talk can go a long way.

Heart - emotionally attuning to our kids and validating the feels is key. Usually we rush to fix them instead of helping them work through it.

Body - help them identify ways our bodies alert us to our emotional experience. We can use deep breaths to help calm the butterflies in our stomach.

Now that we have settled (not really) into Shuswap living, I thought it would be a good idea to show off the new office... Once it's finished.

Stay tuned!

Self Care September!

A beautiful picture of our new city.

As of August 28th my practice will be moving online as we embark on a new adventure in Salmon Arm.

This transition has been extremely exciting as we move closer to family and a slower pace of life. However, having to say goodbye to friends and clients has been really difficult (even those who are staying with me online).

We are so thankful for all of the love and support we have been shown.

Salmon arm.... We are coming for you!
