WELCOME TO MY HAVEN
I’m highly intuitive and deeply sensitive. Although I can remember my first profound experience with my intuition at age 9 in the library at my elementary school, I entered the door to the real deep work many years later. When I said goodbye to my mom, Colleen, after a brief illness, my internal light was ignited. As my mom died, a healer was born.
Just like the story of the tiny acorn, holding the potential of the giant oak, we all hold this gift, deeply held within a tightly wrapped container, waiting for us to remember. I ask you, "Will you remember your heart’s song?" I'm here to guide you into the depths of Nature’s wisdom, for all the answers are there.
By removing distractions and the expectations of the world and others, plus getting into alignment with the rhythms of Nature through all its cyclical themes, you too will have that remembrance.
Helping you find that Alignment is the devout commitment at the core of what I do.
As an RMT, regulating your nervous system for decreasing pain, restoring muscle and joint function, and tending to the fascial systems while maximizing breath capacity, we can have some profound effects. Adding the philosophies of Eastern Medicines allows me to work with your energetic body and your emotions to connect to the core of who you are.
When we learn the Earth's secrets, we uncover the solutions to our complex questions on life. We have learned that mother trees recognize and talk with their kin, shaping future generations. In addition, injured trees pass their legacies on to their neighbors, affecting gene regulation, defense chemistry, and resilience in the forest community.
We are complex beings and I don't use a one-way-fits-all approach; we must diversify and seek out what makes you uniquely you.
A modern massage therapy approach will seek deeper than the physical body and will connect the rich landscape of your terrain with and in communion with Nature. Your healing is craving it, it is desiring it and we are now at a point where it's demanding it – to remain sovereign, free, and untethered to conventional systems.
I co-create a space for these sacred partnerships, for you to return to your natural rhythm, reclaim your fullness and connect with the Heartbeat of Earth.
In order to connect with ourselves, we need to first connect to the Earth. We will never outgrow the need for this connection

This is a radial act of Love that bonds shared vision and builds community.
I am the keeper of this culture in my own home. My daily acts of devotion toward myself and my family create the life I want. The difference is in the small daily acts of your own choosing.
I believe in Sovereignty for all. I believe in Medical Freedoms. I believe I was called to model what is possible. I believe God uses me to show women that you are made for more than you've been told. My "Voice" is in my actions, in my showing and in my example. I welcome all people, yet know I'm not for everyone – that is resonance and it can be felt immensely on an energetic level. The life I have built will challenge some to look at their own wounds and wonder, "Can I do this too? Is this possible?”
I have proudly built a home-based business that is an extension of my life yet is not defined by it. I embrace daily life in its simplest form, through gratitude for the little things. I love sleeping in, late nights, dark roast and a really good sandwich. I love deep conversations as well as space to be alone. I love saunas and winter, laughing and the coastline. I am completely steeped in tradition and love the ebbs and flows in familiarity. I have a travellers heart yet long for home. My hair has often shaped the reflection I have of myself, from shaving it bald for breast cancer awareness to transitioning to silver. I have the best memory of anyone I know and I am deeply creative.
I am deeply devoted to my life, and I would love to help lead you home.
I live and work in K'jipuktuk (Halifax), the ancestral, unceded and unsurrendered Territory of the Mi'kmaq people. K'jipuktuk means Great Harbour... what a great place to Haven.
