Living, Loving and Grieving with Grace.

​​

Conditioned to Label and Abandon Self

For as long as I can remember, I have believed life was meant to hold more love, joy, play, freedom, and connection than the world around me seemed to allow.

I've always felt deeply, loved hard, and grieved hard, although I didn't understand it at the time. Like so many of us, I grew up hearing I was too sensitive, too emotional, or simply too much. I learned to question my feelings, push through difficult emotions, and believe being strong meant keeping it all together.

But what if my emotions were never the problem? What if the very parts of myself I've been taught to hide are the parts most deserving of love and compassion?

My Journey Back to Myself​

Just after my 40th birthday, my marriage ended abruptly, leaving me heartbroken and questioning whether I'd ever believe in love again. Although I couldn't see it then, this painful chapter became the beginning of a profound reconnection with myself.

​

Through the Grief Recovery Method, EFT Tapping, the wisdom of my body, and the healing presence of nature, I discovered that grief is about so much more than death or the end of a relationship. We grieve whenever life changes, dreams go unmet, relationships shift, or something familiar is lost.

​

Sadness, anger, fear, and loneliness aren't signs that we're too sensitive. They're signs that we're human. We grieve because we've loved, hoped, dreamed, and invested.

​

I began recognizing how deeply I'd been conditioned to disconnect from my emotions, my body, and my truth. I made a commitment to stop abandoning the parts of myself that needed compassion most. Not by fixing myself, but by coming home to myself.

The Art of Mavericking - an act of loving rebellion​

Mavericking is my invitation to challenge the beliefs that tell us to stay busy, be strong, suppress our feelings, and simply push through life's difficult moments.

​

It's about slowing down, softening, and becoming curious about what hurts rather than judging, explaining away, or trying to fix it. It's allowing ourselves to feel fully and honour the many emotions we can hold at once – sadness and gratitude, fear and hope, anger and contentment.

​

Our emotions aren't evidence that we're doing life wrong. They're evidence that we're ALIVE!

​

Why This Work Matters to Me​

Imagine how different our world would be if children grew up believing that sadness, anger, and fear weren't emotions to be ashamed of? What if we all learned to witness one another's pain instead of immediately trying to fix it? What if being strong meant allowing ourselves to be FULLY human? 

​

These questions are at the heart of my work today. 

​

I'm passionate about supporting women who have spent years believing they're too emotional or too sensitive to reclaim their feelings, reconnect with themselves, and move forward after loss with greater confidence and compassion. 

​

Through grief recovery, EFT Tapping, supportive connection, and education, I help women honour their losses, understand their emotions, and reconnect with what matters most. Not to become someone different, but to return, again and again, to who they truly are.

​

An Invitation to Soften

I don't believe Mavericking and moving forward after loss means never feeling heartbreak again. It's about learning to hold ourselves with radical care when heartbreak comes. 

​

It's about remembering that we're worthy of witnessing, love, and belonging, especially in our most vulnerable moments. And perhaps most importantly, it's about reclaiming the softest, wildest, most emotional part of ourselves, and recognizing that these are the very parts that make us beautifully human! 

​

Grieving with grace. Loving with grace. Living with grace.

​

Your emotions are NORMAL.
You are NORMAL.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE. And you got this!
