Additionally, I welcome Nature as my co-facilitator in inspiring you to live your best life.
Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better. - Maya Angelou. What does it mean to live your best life and do better? For each of us, the common thread is a deep desire to be seen, heard and loved for who we truly are. Often, the twists and turns in relationships with our families, partners, children, friends, work and other life activities, can challenge us to be our true selves and to know happiness. Our earlier lives create our belief system, many of our behaviours and coping strategies. To enjoy our best lives some of these well-trodden pathways often require significant shifts.

Currently accepting male clients. I support Men heal their relationship with themselves and to those who are in their life. The relationship you have with yourself is the most important one, how you communicate with yourself will be a direct reflection of how you communicate with the world around you. You may have built up internal defences to block you from feeling your emotional experience from a young age out of a need to survive and fit in, all the while boosting your performance-based esteem. We work on your relationship with yourself first and then to those around you in your life to start the reconnection process.

Do you have the sense that there is underlying pain that is preventing you from fully enjoying your life?

My work aims to help you more effectively meet the needs behind these old, perhaps outdated strategies. Some of the issues that clients come to me for help with are: personal growth and alignment with life purpose; emotional regulation; emotional intimacy; anxiety and panic attacks; self-worth; and grief and loss (personal and collective).
