My philosophy is a commitment to practice a way of being where the virtues of
Humility, Empathy, Accountability, Responsibility and Truthfulness
guide the ability to be present, give attention, acknowledge shared meaning-making, and to live with wisdom and integrity.
Embodiment is not a technique or brand aesthetics.
Embodiment is the deep practice of self-reflection and action.
It asks:
How do I become the care I speak of?
Where have I disconnected from my own values in the name of professionalism, neutrality, or safety?
To embody is to feel, to ground, to respond — not react,
And to remember the truth of why we are doing this work.

Coming Soon! The Art of HEART as a model for therapist supervision.
The Art of HEART philosophy in consulting, program planning and organizational ethics.
The Art of HEART in Professional Development
Professional development consultation for helping professionals seeking to ground themselves within their values and find balance of working for the greater good, expanding the scope of what ethical, professional practice means to include embodiment of values ’as a way of being’. This is not counselling or therapy, but dialogue and guidance on what it means to live the ethics and values in practice, and striving to be in right relationship with ourselves, others, the human made and natural systems we live in, and in the context of the modern professional world.

My work, education and life experiences have led me to acquire knowledge in the areas of
-trauma, (medical trauma, attachment and relational trauma, acute and complex trauma)
-pediatric psychosocial support
-grief and bereavement
-child and lifespan development
-supporting the emotional and developmental needs of gifted children and adults
-wisdom research
-nature based wellness and experiential learning
-community approaches to holistic care
I am currently a PhD student in Human Relationships, Spiritual Care and Pscyhotherapy with Martin Luther University at Wilfrid Laurier and am available to support individual, community, and/or larger organizations in
finding their way back to relational responsibility in the work we do. My area of research interest is in training and practice of embodied ethics and wisdom in helping professions.
I can offer one on one consultation, group presentations or guest lectures, as well as consulting on program and policy development.

Coming Soon! The Art of HEART embedded into practice, ethics, business, teaching, training, organizational structure, volunteer work, and more.
Coming Soon! Virtues Project group facilitiation.
I am a Registered Social Worker (RSW) in good standing with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers (OCSWSSW) and the New Brunswick Association of Social Workers (NBASW), practicing counselling and psychotherapy in Ontario and (virtually) for residents of New Brunswick, Canada. The services I provide through this consulting practice are not psychotherapy, clinical social work, or mental health treatment, and do not replace regulated mental health care.
My offerings focus on:
These services are intended for professionals, practitioners, organizations, and systems — not for individuals seeking therapy, diagnosis, or mental health support. If you are in crisis or in need of therapy, I encourage you to seek qualified therapeutic support in your local jurisdiction.
