It feels really good to be back writing and sharing on the blog again.

After taking a bit of a break, I posted a new piece today: *After the Storm: Grief, Trauma, and Finding a Way Back*.

This one is deeply personal. I reflect on Vic’s recovery, returning to camp site 144 after the devastating storm our family experienced, what trauma lives on in the body, and the slow, imperfect process of finding safety and healing again after the unimaginable.

As both a psychotherapist and grief counsellor, I continue to be humbled by what grief, trauma, and the body can teach us about survival and healing.

I’ll be sharing and writing more regularly again moving forward, and I’m really grateful to reconnect through this space.

If this resonates with you, I’d love for you to take a few moments to read it, the Link is below and in my link tree in my bio. 🤍

Grief can feel like you’re caught between two versions of yourself.

Who you were before… and who you’re becoming without fully recognizing either.

That in-between space can feel disorienting, painful, and incredibly lonely.

But it won’t always feel as intense as it does right now. 🤍🦋

Grief can feel incredibly isolating, but you don’t have to move through it alone.

This space is here to share reflections, support, and gentle conversations about loss and healing.

Wherever you are in your grief, you are welcome here. 🌿

Let’s carry it together, gently.

Being on To North Bay With Love was such a meaningful experience.

Before I was creating grief retreats… I was searching for one.

In this conversation, I share a bit of my own journey through grief and how, in the early days, I wished there was a space where I could just be with others who understood.

That experience is what led me to create these retreats. A space where grief is welcomed, where nothing needs to be fixed, and where you don’t have to go through it alone.

If this resonates with you, I’d love for you to listen 🤍

In a world that encourages us to keep moving, slowing down can feel unfamiliar.

Grief can feel loud at first… and then, unexpectedly quiet.

It’s often in that quiet where the loneliness shows up when the support fades and you’re left trying to find your way through something that’s so hard to put into words.

There is something deeply meaningful about being in a space where nothing needs to be explained, where people simply get it.

If you’re looking for that kind of space, we’re gathering May 21–24, 2026 in Algonquin Park for a Grief Retreat 🌿

One of the hardest parts of grief
is noticing there is still light
while you’re in it.

Healing isn’t linear. some days just surviving is enough and that’s okay 🤍
