Wellaura Counselling

I have certification in perinatal mental health.

This allows me the to assist individuals throughout their pregnancy and post-partum periods to ensure they have the appropriate mental health support in place.

Even though I missed posting on the day, I still wanted to acknowledge International Women’s Day.

Outside of my professional role, I’m also a busy mom of two hockey loving kids and many of our days are spent at the rink (which I wouldn’t change). Sometimes I feel self-conscious about not posting enough…

Nevertheless, I am choosing to post today, for International Women's Day. I hold all women, girls, and individuals of every gender identity with so much vaule and admiration.

I feel proud to be a voice in my community through the lens of perinatal mental health helping give language to what has often gone unspoken and creating space for anyone who walks into my office.

Wellaura Counselling is a women owned practice, and I am the owner and provider (which still feels surreal to say).

So I celebrate all of us! And I want you to know you are seen, heard and respected.

I hope you feel supported and a little less alone.

With love - Amy

Hi!

I’m Amy and I'm a little awkward in reordering myself 🙃

Six months ago, I bet on myself and started my own private practice.

It wasn’t always smooth.
There were doubts.
Stress.
“Am I really doing this?” moments.

But I kept choosing myself....despite it all.

Now I feel free.
Proud.
Happy.
Aligned.

She exists because I didn’t quit on myself. ✨

✨️Mid-week boosts ✨️

Each day gives us the opportunity to shine, and today, you have the choice to embrace that. Even if it's one small action, that can be enough, because you deserve to give some love and compassion to yourself.

I believe in your abilities to do so!

Your nervous system learned this for a reason.

Anxiety, control, numbing, people-pleasing
these aren’t flaws.... They’re strategies.

Strategies your body and mind developed
to cope, survive, or stay connected at a time when you needed them.

How many times have you asked yourself, “What’s wrong with me?”
What if, instead of judgment, you tried curiosity?

Try asking: “What did I need when this began?”

What coping strategy are you beginning to understand about yourself in a more compassionate way?

Healing isn’t about never being triggered again.

It’s about noticing them sooner, recovering faster and being kinder in the process.

Triggers don’t mean failure.
They’re invitations for care.

Progress looks like:
Less self-blame
Being more curious with yourself
Being able to ground and recover from the trigger

You are never back at square one; just know you are doing beautifully,and it's okay that you got triggered. Next time notice your hard work and growth.

Often, motherhood contradictions can easily overtake our minds and emotions. Have you ever heard or had thoughts like this?

“Enjoy every moment” meanwhile you’re barely surviving the day.

“It goes by so fast” while time feels heavy, lonely, and endless.

“This is the happiest time of your life” while you’re struggling emotionally.

“You should feel grateful” while your body and mind feel drained.

You can love your baby, your kids, and still feel exhausted. You can be proud of yourself and feel lost. You can be grateful and feel overwhelmed.

Let's be 100 percent honest with ourselves and accept that both can exist and often they do. Give yourself compassion, understanding, and some grace.

Take a moment to reflect: what two truths are living side-by-side for you right now? And how can I be more accepting to this fact?

01/21/2026

Difficult people often show up as teachers...

Not to punish you.
Not because you’re doing something wrong.

But because they touch something uncomfortable, maybe unfinished, or still learning how to feel safe using your voice, holding your values, and standing in your personal power.

The people who frustrate you, trigger you, or leave you feeling drained often highlight places where internal boundaries are still forming, old wounds are still present, or parts of you are quietly asking for attention and understanding.

This doesn’t mean you need to tolerate certain behaviors or remain in anytype of relationship that feel unsafe or misaligned, with yourself.

Growth often begins when we are noticing:
Why does this affect me so deeply?
What is being stirred in me right now?
How do I want to show up for myself?
What do I most need from myself to strengthen, release, and understand?

Sometimes growth feels like discomfort, resistance, grief, confusion, and exhaustion.

Our instinct is often to avoid those feelings. So hear me out for a moment, because discomfort can be a signal not that something is wrong, but that something is asking to be understood.

When you feel triggered or unsettled, it doesn't mean you're going backward or starting over at square one, as we often default to.

However, it can really mean something is shifting and changing within ourselves.

I am challenging you to reflect on what feels uncomfortable but meaningful for you right now.

New Year and an honest check-in...

As we all begin 2026, it’s not about becoming a new version of yourself. It’s really about noticing what you’re no longer wanting to carry, and what you want more room for.

So what energy are you saying goodbye to?
• survival mode
• constant self-criticism
• over-functioning
• rushing past your own needs
• holding everything alone

What energy do you want more of in 2026?
• steadiness
• self-trust
• rest without guilt
• emotional honesty
• support
• space to breathe

Mental health isn’t about forcing change as soon as the new year hits. It’s about listening to yourself and making authentic choices for yourself again and again throughout 2026.

The first act is getting honest with yourself and meeting yourself where you're truly at.

The holidays can bring up a lot not just joy.
If this season feels heavy or overwhelming, you’re not alone, many can feel this way.

Taking care of your mental health is a strength. It’s okay to slow down, take breaks, protect your energy, and choose yourself when you need to.

I’m sitting here right now feeling a bit emotional as I make this post...

Because Wellaura Counselling has been voted Silver in Therapy & Counselling, and I'm so incredibly thankful for this. This is the second year in a row I have received silver!

This one feels very different for me. This time, it was all on my own. Just me, my heart, my clients, my community, and a vision I brought to life.

Thank you to my family, friends, and the community who believes in me, trusts me, and voted for me. Wellaura Counselling is truly a part of me; as it comes from my heart and soul.

Thank you to those who have entered my office, for letting me walk beside you during some of the most difficult and vulnerable times of your life.

It’s an honor I never take lightly and thank you for helping Wellaura grow into a beautiful healing space! ✨️
