Specialized Support for Moms and Helping Professionals.
Welcome
Are you struggling with stress, anxiety, grief or worried about your relationship, your children or your staff? You've come to the right place.
Are you an expectant or new mom finding pregnancy or parenting much harder than you expected or simply wanting support as you move through this life changing transition? I have specialized training.
You are doing an amazing job. But it can feel lonely and overwhelming trying to juggle all the demands of adjusting to a new baby or balancing work and family life, especially in a Pandemic, especially if you are in a helping profession.
Burnout and anxiety are NOT your fault but you are not powerless. Together we can find your way back to peace, joy and confidence.
Hi, I'm Nicole (she/her), an award winning Registered Psychotherapist , Certified Canadian Counsellor and Certified Compassion Fatigue Professional and Certified Gottman Educator- "Bringing Baby Home" with 20 years experience using a variety of evidence based approaches. I provide individual counselling, online group coaching and trauma informed and mental health and wellness workshops for Organizations in Ontario Canada.
- With me, you will feel seen, heard and validated

Guiding Principles
I believe:
- You are the expert on you.
- You matter. Your voice matters.
- Worthiness is your Birthright.
- Every breath is a fresh start.
- Caregivers - mamas and helping professionals need to be cared for now, more than ever.
- Prioritizing mental health and wellness is smart business practice.
- Past experiences impact you but do not define you. Within every crisis lies opportunity.
- Individual healing leads to collective healing.
- We rise by lifting others.
We are Stronger Together
