Trauma taught me how to achieve.
Healing taught me how to rest.

Both shaped who I am.
Only one made me feel whole.

If this resonates and you’re curious about trauma-informed therapy, you’re invited to book a free 20-minute chat with one of our trauma expert therapists.

No pressure. Just a place to ask questions and see if it feels like a fit.

Goals, but not the kind that ask you to override yourself.
The kind that leave room for rest, change, and being human.

Nothing here needs to be optimized or perfected.
Just small choices that help your body feel a little safer as you move through the year.

If this kind of goal-setting feels different… that’s the point 💛

This year shall be legendary ✨

If your life looks “fine” on the outside but feels overwhelming on the inside… this is for you.

For years, I moved through the world in survival mode without even realizing it.
I was overperforming, overfunctioning, and trying to outrun the parts of me that felt unworthy, anxious, or “too much.”

No one told me that the exhaustion, the numbness, the perfectionism and the shutting down were actually signs of a nervous system carrying far more than it was ever meant to hold.

I created this carousel because I wish someone had said these words to me when I was struggling:
That I wasn’t broken.
That my body wasn’t failing me.
That rest wasn’t something I had to earn.
That healing was possible long before I believed it.

If you’re in that place now, trying to keep it all together while feeling like you’re falling apart. I want you to know this:
✨ You are not alone
✨ Your reactions make sense
✨ And there is a version of you who feels grounded, safe, and connected (and she’s not as far away as she feels)

If this spoke to a tender part of you, let it land. You’re doing beautifully.

In your 20s, you might think following your entrepreneurial dream is wild and impossible.
I know I did.

Back then, I never could have imagined the life I have now.
I just knew I wanted to create a space where women felt safe, seen, and supported in a way I never had growing up.

Starting a therapy practice felt huge and a little unbelievable… but it also felt right.
And sometimes that quiet sense of right is all you need.

If there’s a dream tugging at you, even softly, please follow it.
You don’t have to have it all figured out.
You just have to take the next loving step toward the life you’re meant to build 💗

Have you seen K-Pop: Demon Hunters? Beyond the epic battles, stunning animation, and incredible music, the film reflects inner struggles, trauma, and the journey toward integration, which is very similar to the work we do in therapy.

✨ Generational Trauma: Rumi carries the weight of family and societal expectations. Her “demonic heritage” represents patterns passed down through generations. By the end of the film, these patterns are not erased but rather de-shamed and beautifully integrated into her sense of self.

✨ Abandonment and Belonging: Mira’s story shows the emotional scars left by neglect and the longing to be seen. Trauma can make us feel unseen or unworthy, and her healing journey is one of learning to feel at home with her chosen family. PS - therapy provides a safe space to process and acknowledge these kinds of feelings.

✨ Imposter Syndrome: Zoey struggles with self-doubt, a feeling maaaany high-achieving women experience. Integration work helps you hold both your achievements and your vulnerabilities together.

✨ Cultural Identity and Shame: Rumi hides parts of herself out of shame. Healing involves accepting and connecting with all parts of yourself safely, not erasing the painful or difficult ones.

✨ Music as Healing: The film’s soundtrack helps the characters confront their inner demons. In therapy, creative expression through writing, movement, or music can help process trauma and integrate emotions.

💜 K-Pop: Demon Hunters shows that true strength comes from acknowledging, understanding, and harmonizing our inner parts, not hiding or suppressing them.

📩 Struggling with old patterns, inner parts you feel ashamed of, people pleasing, self-doubt, or unresolved trauma? At , we guide you to feel safe in your body and reclaim calm and confidence. DM us or book a free consult with the link in our bio to start your very own integration journey, or just to chat about this epic film!!

The holiday season can stir many different emotions—warmth, grief, pressure, nostalgia, or a mix of all of them at once. For those carrying the impact of trauma, this time of year may highlight old wounds, complicated relationships, or the challenge of staying grounded when routines shift and expectations rise.

As the year comes to a close, this season can also offer a gentle invitation to honor your resilience. Healing is not measured by perfection but by the quiet, steady ways you show up for yourself—setting limits, noticing your needs, or allowing rest where you once pushed through.

Wishing you moments of calm, clarity, and connection as you move into the new year. May this season bring space to breathe, soften, and feel supported in your ongoing healing journey.

If the holidays feel overwhelming, tense or emotionally charged for you, there is nothing wrong with you.
It is very common for old family roles and unspoken expectations to show up this time of year.
Your nervous system feels every bit of that.

Boundaries are not about being difficult or creating distance.
They are about staying connected to yourself.
They help you move through holiday gatherings with clarity, safety and self respect.

These are some simple boundary scripts you can use in real moments
✨ When someone asks something too personal.
✨ When a conversation becomes tense.
✨ When you need a minute to breathe.
✨ When you want to leave early without guilt.

You do not need perfect words.
You only need to honour what your body is telling you.

If one of these scripts feels supportive, save it for when you need it most.

Can EMDR really work for teens with PTSD and work quickly?
This study looked at an intensive trauma program for youth that combined daily EMDR, movement, and family support.

In just 2 weeks:
✅ PTSD symptoms dropped fast
✅ 62 percent no longer met PTSD criteria
✅ And results held up 3 months later

Teens actually liked the daily format. Many said it helped them stay focused and engaged — without the long gaps between sessions.

It’s powerful research, and it matches what we see in our practice too — with the right support, teens can process trauma in ways that feel safe, effective, and sustainable.

Not sure where to start? Message us and we’ll help you figure out what support might be best.
