Did I wear this outfit the last time I saw you? I actually have that conversation with myself some mornings 😅

Last week I completed a workshop with a group of care providers and parents in conjunction with the Comox Valley Child Development Association. I am thrilled that the feedback reflected 100% agreement that it met or exceeded expectations and that they would recommend it to others 🙏

I am grateful for the joy I feel in bringing the Nurtured Heart Approach to adults who are so committed to this journey, open to new ideas and inspired by the shifts that NHA holds.

I am also deeply moved by this beautiful and meaningful gift from a participant from the Quatsino Early Years Centre. It will find a special place in my home ❤️

Today, on the Spring Equinox, the energy is of new beginnings. Looking for and savouring little moments of beauty seems like a great practice to begin ❤️

'When you can be anything in the world, choose to be kind' - not sure who said this (or something similar) but it seems needed today and everyday!

What if this Valentine's Day, we nourish and celebrate the most enduring relationship we will ever have — the one with ourselves?

I am thrilled to be offering this workshop in collaboration with the Comox Valley Child Development Association!! It is being made available to their community, but I am able to offer a few additional spots to those interested.

Please see the link in the comments for details and enrollment information and I hope to see you there.

This is a wonderful offering by my colleague. She is an incredibly compassionate, knowledgeable and supportive person to those navigating estrangement.

“The Unspeakable Story of Estrangement” offers a compassionate space for parents to make sense of a loss that is often invisible and deeply misunderstood.

This workshop explores estrangement as a process rather than a single event, introducing concepts such as ambiguous loss, accountability without self-blame, and ways to find steadiness amid uncertainty. Participants will leave feeling less alone, less ashamed, and more supported in carrying what is often left unsaid.

Suzan Moldenhauer is a registered counsellor who helps parents make sense of estrangement and carry grief that often goes unseen. Her approach is grounded in compassion, clarity, and practical support, with a focus on healing rather than blame.
