Learn about services

  • Facilitation that meets people, groups, or workspaces where they are - whether navigating conflict, in transition, or the aftermath of a critical experience. Through restorative practices, I create space for people to pause, process, and be heard, supporting collective healing and clarity. My work helps restore balance, rebuild trust, and lay the groundwork for healthier, more connected relationships, communities, and workplace cultures.

  • I collaborate with organizations to develop bold, values-based strategic plans and support the implementation of program evaluations that make impact visible and guide growth.

    I love the challenge of developing and facilitating intentionally researched and curated curriculum that weaves multiple ways of knowing and doing. From custom training and capacity-building programs, to wellness initiatives and team-building sessions, I help organizations foster relational and decolonial intelligence to fulfill their potential.

  • Work with me one-to-one. Case and workplace consultations are also available.

    I practice from a decolonial feminist and anti-oppressive framework, “walking with” helpers and leaders who embrace the responsibility of caring for others and community. I hold space for people to practice reflexivity, set goals and commitments for themselves, promote and practice wellness, and balance indicators of accountability.

  • Connect with me one-to-one or book small group sessions for Legacy and wellness work. Also specializing in Gladue writing for Court.

    I support, nurture, and help bring forth people’s stories. As a story doula, my practice is rooted in deep listening, care, and creating a safe, affirming space for someone to tell, write, or uncover their story in their own voice and time. Whether your goal is healing, connection, or expression, I am there to walk alongside the storyteller as they find their way. Story doula care may be for you when:

    • you want guidance for sharing difficult or transformative experiences

    • help shape stories for healing, advocacy, or creative expression

    • Want help breathing life into your stories through guided reflective questions, writing prompts, and somatic or visual practices to support the process

    • Honouring your legacy.

    • Court Ordered Gladue Considerations and Reports

  • 1-1, small, and large group therapeutic wellness activities and interventions for youth, families, and adults.

    Grounded wellness is community-rooted, relational, and experiential in nature.
