A Journey of Transformation and Empowerment

The Heart Behind Butterfly Effect

My path hasn't been a straight line—it's been a constellation of experiences, each illuminating the profound resilience of the human spirit. It has been a bridge between science and spirit. While I hold carry formal degrees of a Masters of Counselling Psychology (Honours), a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, I also honour intuitive knowing, ancestral wisdom, and the unseen dimensions that shape our healing and lived experiences.

Roots of Compassion

Growing up, I was always drawn to understanding human complexity from a young age. As a young adult, I obtained a diploma in Women's Studies (Honours), with a strong emphasis on Indigenous wisdom, which laid the groundwork for a holistic approach to healing. I learned that every individual carries a unique story, shaped by culture, experience, personal strength, and resilience. Our unique lived experiences shape our view of reality, and how we navigate life challenges.

From Nursing to Holistic Healing

My journey as a registered nurse revealed the intricate connections between physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Working in diverse settings—from psychiatric units to palliative care—I have witnessed the transformative power of compassionate, personalized support. I am honoured to walk alongside patients and clients. My own experiences in diverse settings provides a unique skill set that I utilize in my approach with clients.

  The Butterfly Effect Philosophy

Beyond Credentials

While my qualifications—a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology, bachelor of science in nursing degree, certified health coaching—provide a foundation, my true expertise comes from listening, and creating a safe and supportive space for clients. Each person's journey is sacred, unique, and worthy of respect.

Community and Connection

  An Invitation

Improving overall wellness is not about “fixing”, but about deepening awareness of self. It's about creating space for exploration, where the body and nervous system feel safe to soften.

By honouring and creating space within for integration and reflection, resilience is strengthened, and transformation unfolds.
