We heal in COMMUNITY. This is a therapy page but I talk a lot about running and how this has been a tool I’ve integrated in my own life. When I started my therapy practice I knew I wanted to marry physical health and mental health. This is where the holistic side of my practice was born.

I know that running isn’t always a favourite activity for everyone. But I use a lot of analogies from running in the therapy room and to be honest I talk a lot about how running can support in cognitive processing. When Run for the Frontline was born (2024) it was the perfect space to talk mental health while integrating movement and to curate a space to honour and celebrate the commitment that first responders and frontline workers make in our communities. I wanted to be able to have conversations about wellness and start to dismantle the stigma that exists around mental health.

It has become more apparent to me the necessity for events like this. In just two years of this event we’ve had over 350 participants, of which 200 identified in the first responder/frontline community. This year we had a record breaking amount of participants and holy did the community show up!

I always become a little emotional as I welcome participants and talk about the why of the event. I not only professionally support first responders/frontline workers, but I worked frontline for 15 years and my husband is an officer. So this event is deeply personal to me. While speaking about the importance of healing in community, moving in community and that no one gets left behind, I could feel the unspoken agreement of those in the crowd, the energy was palpable. Watching everyone cross that line was a privilege. There is something magical about being able to witness that part, I know the experience of crossing a finish line (which is amazing) but to witness others do that is something else.

I hope to continue to curate a space that allows for community. I appreciate every single person who participated or supported in one way or another. And always remember, “BE THE BUFFALO - CHARGE THE STORM” 💙 🦬

Last week I was able to be a part of a wellness day for the Sarnia Emergency Response Team (ERT). It was a beautiful day to be outside and integrate important nervous system practices. I was able to support the team with some gentle movement that focused on the back, hips, neck and shoulders alongside breathwork. Later in the day I helped the team end their day with some discharging. I chose something a bit more energy exerting for this with adult bumper balls. The game was blue team against the person in the yellow, blue had to stop yellow for getting to the target 🎯 at the end of the field. It was a ton of fun to watch (someone may or may not have rolled off a small embankment 🤭).

It was a privileged to be back with the team doing something I love so much! Thanks again to the TL for his strong belief in mental health and wellness and for having me back! 💙

This weekend I had the chance to participate and be present at the Hard Miles event in support of . It was a beautiful day surrounded by community and many services and organizations. As a therapist who specifically specializes in first responders and frontline workers it is important to me to be at these sorts of events and continue to collaborate with others doing this amazing work. Thanks so much to for having me and my family out. Even got the chance to meet in person who I’ve been following on socials for a long time. Check him out, he is doing amazing work on the frontlines with his trusted gnome!

👹🗝️What a wild race! 68 kms and 6000 ft of combined elevation along the Bruce trail, running along some of the most beautiful scenery and rugged terrain. This was one of the most physically and mentally challenging races I’ve ever done. It was 11.34 hours with my thoughts in the forest. At times the thoughts in my mind felt bigger and more insurmountable than the literal physical climbs I had in front of me.
At one point (well several times) I was lost, literally did not know where I was or where I was going. I was relieved when I ran into a group of three gentleman who were quite directionally sound and had the course map downloaded on their watch (rookie mistake on my end). They welcomed me into their group, which to be honest was such a nice change from the hours of silence I had been in. I ended up learning that they were officers, and actually knew some officers from the Sarnia area. We quickly became a team grinding through some of the toughest parts of the course and I seemingly found friendship within their group. It was their humour, Advil and no one gets left behind approach that got me through this.
I share this as it parallels a lot of what I talk about in therapy. There is something to be said about sitting in our own thoughts and doing the deep work, however there is so much strength and healing in community. This race experience was every part of that. So thanks to Marty, Charlie, and James for the help along the way, I would likely still be somewhere on the trail 🗺️ 🧭 .
Even bigger shout out to my biggest cheerleaders who are forever running me into the finish, Ellie and Iris. And of course my husband who forever tells me I can do absolutely anything I put my mind to.
“Mind over matter” over and over again 💙

GRIT - Today my family and I participated in the 5km Run with Responders in Windsor. We have completed it every year since it started and the girls love it as the course is lined with many first responders. If you’re reading this you likely know how important running is in my life. I feel so grateful that my two girls love it just as much, and my husband just does it because I sign him up 😂 (his favourite style of running is after someone 👮🏻‍♂️).

There is something about the grit, mental fortitude and true human spirit that calls me back for more. However, today I wanted to highlight my two girls. Both ran this race like all stars from start to finish. But it was the mindset that struck me most. When things got hard they listened to their body, they challenged themselves and over and over repeated “I can do hard things”. They are 5 and 7. They also commented that it was just them against themselves and that no matter where they finished we all cross the same finish line. They were reflecting on something greater than they realize. The idea that we just need to stay focused on ourselves. We don’t need to look around at what others are doing, we just need to be focused on what we are doing. So many of us get stuck in the comparison game and this is a joy stealer. I’m forever amazing at their ability to reflect on the world and where they fit in it. I feel like we can all learn from them. And if you asked, they would tell you that you CAN do the hard things, even if that’s running a 5 km, you are your greatest barrier.

I am also equally impressed with their times and feel they deserve a shout out. Ellie smashed this run with a 36:28 (7:17 km) - she was calling out the SPS ERT and says she looks forward to running with them in October 😉 and Iris for an equally impressive 41:08 (8:14 km).
