My life's journey, has been eye-opening, underscored by profound life shaping events; the escape from an abusive relationship as a young adult, the death of my son and watching my second child suffer in an environment that was not and still isn't geared for children that are different. As a parent, I have experienced my own trauma and all that it entails, and witnessed and supported my children through anxiety, poor self worth, bullying, rejection, and other adverse childhood experiences pushed onto them by their environment. I have worked with and supported young adults in the workplace, providing them with the tools and understanding they need to be able to find their space in the world, feel valued and excel in their unique skill set in the workplace.

I work from the premise that we should keep in mind that everyone has their own story. By making an effort to understand the stories behind people's behaviours, we stand to gain a deeper awareness of ourselves.
