We are excited for Lily Dias joining Peak Experience starting this week!! Lily works with individuals and couples.

Those that connect with Lily’s style are those that are “looking for a space to slow down, make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and gently work towards meaningful change”.

Lily is working in person on Wednesdays and Thursdays including evening availability on Thursdays as well as virtual appointments.

Online booking for discovery calls vacation our clinic’s Jane booking page.

Cozy spaces to come in out of the cold, cozy up on a couch with a cup of tea and talk through the complexities and curiosities of being human ☺️

Something I get to talk about just about every day in my work is the struggle of finding love…and for this big question, I don’t believe anyone has the answer. What I do know, is when we walk our own genuine path, create calm connection and fulfillment in our relationship with ourselves we have a much, much greater chance at recognizing love when it appears on our path.

I walk or run the same loop trail almost daily (mostly because my dog insists) and today, on an especially meditative walk, I noticed this rock that I’ve probably stepped on 1000 times before (literally). But today, in an especially mindful space it caught my attention, enough to pull my hand out of my pockets, take a picture and think about the role of love in our experience of being human.

Brilliant!! We are moving in a healthy direction.

Who is 988 for?

It's for everyone.

There are multiple ways to get in touch. When someone calls 988, they're first presented with a menu. Children, teens and Indigenous people are among those who can choose to access services specifically geared to them.

Everyone is susceptible to struggle and many of us will be in situations where we are managing overwhelming hopelessness, loss, exhaustion. 9-8-8 is available 24/7 if you’re in a tough mental spot. Don’t hesitate to call.

I feel so fortunate to get to meet so many of these very special humans. Humans who do incredible work to shift intergenerational patterns and heal traumas that they have inherited. These people are changing our world just by taking responsibility for things that were not their fault or wrongdoing. These people inspire me and give me incredible hope for humankind. Thank you to everyone who has the bravery to turn around and face the hard things in life and to heal the traumas that have accumulated throughout time. ♥️
