I am no stranger to diverse personal & professional transitions.

Death has been the major catalyst in my life.

At twenty, it inspired me to go out into the world ~ to explore & make meaningful change externally.
At thirty, it inspired me to go into my inner world ~ to explore & make meaningful change internally.

What I came to realise along the way is that throughout life we experience endings of different kinds.
​
Death of people, relationships, identities, communities, careers, ways of being...
And yes... with endings come new beginnings ~ but what about the in-between?
How do we navigate everyday life in the face of the unknown?
The fears, the loss, the shifts of care & sense of self?
​
Throughout my life, through diverse personal & professional transitions, I've learned that there are natural tools for finding relief, resilience & renewal through transition.

Recreation Facilitator & Water Therapy Practitioner
I've been a recreation facilitator for over a decade, coaching individuals & even training coaches.
I've also created multiple businesses, not-for-profit initiatives & projects around my recreations.
I believe that recreation is one of the most transformative spaces we have for well~being.

Meditation & Mindful Living Teacher
During one of my most significant life transitions I discovered meditation & mindful living.
It was an integral part of me navigating depression, fear, grief, caregiving & change to self identity.
I believe that meditation is a natural tool the transforms our relationship with everything.

Transition Coach & End-of-Life Doula
After palliative caregiving & experiencing the deaths of family, I chose to train as an End-of-Life Doula
Learning to help ease end-of-life transitions inspired me to make these tools available for everyone. 
I believe that all transitions are natural parts of life, including death & we can train for them.
