Orientation toward self-growth
My Story and Why I Work This Way
I have been oriented toward self-growth for as long as I can remember.
From a young age, I was deeply invested in becoming better, doing better, understanding myself more. As a teenager, I poured myself into personal growth — and at the same time, I was profoundly disconnected from who I actually was. Much of my energy went into being good enough, meeting expectations, and shaping myself around what felt acceptable.
When I was eighteen, my eating disorder intensified. It wasn't about food. It was an expression of how disconnected I was from my body, my intuition, and my own inner authority. Recovery was not about fixing my body or controlling my behaviour. It was about discovering myself — learning how to live in relationship with my body, my needs, and my inner knowing. As that connection slowly returned, the eating disorder loosened its grip.
What healed me was not force or perfection, but presence.
Through this process, I found my passion for this work. Healing and growth are not things I moved through and left behind — they are something I am deeply devoted to, again and again, in different seasons of my life.
That devotion shapes how I work with clients.
I understand what it's like to be in the in-between spaces — the voids, the uncertainty, the periods of not knowing who you are or where you're going. Supporting people through these spaces is one of my greatest strengths. I know how to stay when things are unclear, slow, or tender, and how to hold both where you are and what is quietly trying to emerge.
This is the way I work because it is the way I have learned how to live.
A Common Thread Across My Work
At the heart of my work is self-connection.
I support people in strengthening their relationship with their inner world — their intuition, their felt sense, their truth — and learning how to live in a way that feels authentic rather than imposed. Not how you think you should be living, but how your life actually wants to be lived.
So much of the work is about noticing what feels out of alignment, without turning that noticing into a battle. Instead of fighting yourself, we gently turn toward what isn’t working with curiosity, compassion, and presence.
This is not about forcing change or pushing yourself to become someone else. It’s about learning how to stay present with what’s here, and allowing change to emerge organically from that relationship.
