If you had met me before my healing journey, it may have looked like my life was happily put together on the outside. I was successfully working as a documentary film agent hobnobbing on yachts in France. I had a full and sparkling social life partying it up in downtown Toronto. I had friends and family and a boyfriend. Only in my early 20's - my future looked so bright and so full of promise.

The truth though - was underneath all that outer glamour - inside I was a hot mess. I was drowning in anxiety wondering if I was good enough for any of it. I felt lonely and empty and like no one actually knew the real me. I felt bored and angry at the small talk and surface conversations that filled my days. And it carried on that way - subtle and quiet at first - for years. Then - one day - my shiny life just cracked into pieces and my whole world fell apart. I was burnt out. I lost the status symbols of my grand identity like my job, my closest relationships and suddenly I felt utterly alone and hopeless. People and friends around me couldn't relate - and I was too ashamed to really let them understand my pain because I thought it made me a failure.

Today I am so grateful for that time - it broke my heart wide open and started me on my journey towards healing. Twenty years later, I found my way to my true vocation as a Transpersonal Counsellor and Intuitive Coach - living my dream life on the West Coast - with the love of my life. Thank goodness I didn't know how long it would all take - but the journey and the growth along the way was exactly everything I ever needed. And I wouldn't take any of it back - not even the darkness.

I know from my own healing journey how hard it can be to navigate feeling lost in the dark times of our lives. When things get tough - there is a way through - but usually not by forcing ourselves in the same old direction. There is a still small voice, whispering for us to try something new - go deeper, go from the inside out - feel our way forward. That takes courage, it takes awakening to conscious choices - and it sometimes takes a cheerleader reminding us we are not lost - we are already on our way.

What I take away most from my learning experience is what I have to offer you as a Counsellor, Coach and Guide. Your answers are all inside you. Every technique, strategy or skill I have to offer you is only a companion to help you get back inside yourself. By getting really clear, by touching back into your heart's wisdom, your body's messages and your own innate knowing - there you will find your gems amongst the rubble of your past.

I would be honoured to be a part of your healing journey. I'll shine a flash light - your heart will be the compass. Together we'll discover how all the answers you're seeking - everything you've ever desired - it's all inside you.

Sof.
