When Jesus met people troubled by emotional, mental, or relational problems, He moved toward them.

He met people exactly where they were—and then invited them into a new perspective and a new reality.

How do you integrate your faith with the insights of brain science, emotion, and human behaviour to experience deep and lasting peace?

We would love to show you how.

Believe it or not, I never intended to become a Life Coach. But my own journey through mental health and faith led me to places of healing that I now love to share with others.

As a coach, it has been amazing to support individuals as they move past self-doubt, second-guessing, and the patterns that hold them back. I often call coaching “physiotherapy for your mental health” — because as you shift your focus off negative emotions and begin practices that nourish your life, your mental health improves.

Coaching is about noticing what’s getting in your way and taking small, practical steps forward. It’s not about having everything figured out or fixing yourself overnight — it’s about building trust in yourself, gaining clarity, and moving forward in ways that feel do-able.

If you’re curious about what that could look like for you, a Discovery Call is a simple, pressure-free way to explore whether coaching is a good fit.

Private therapy may feel daunting at first, but the rewards are invaluable - bringing deeper peace within yourself and healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

Still, when it comes to covering the cost, there are several options to consider:

-Most employer benefits and extended health insurance packages cover therapy with either a registered social worker (RSW) or psychotherapist (RP).

-Group therapy rates are lower than individual sessions and are also covered under benefits.

-University or College students can access a registered therapist of their choice through student benefits.

-NIHB provides access to individual counselling for First Nations and Inuit people with status at no financial cost.

-If you attend a church, you can speak to your pastor or leadership. Many churches offer to provide for people within their congregation to attend therapy.

-By Peaceful Waters also works in partnership with New Life Charity to provide therapy for people with financial constraints.

Not sure where to start? Call our office today to speak with one of our friendly intake workers to explore possibilities.

Therapy is an investment, and you are worth it!

Growth, healing, and change still require effort, consistency, and support.

Faith gives us the courage to take the next step, even when it feels difficult or slow.

Therapy can be part of that work—providing tools, clarity and a safe space to move forward with intention and hope.

You don’t have to choose between faith and mental health care. They can work together.

Let’s be real—January gets all the hype, but February is where commitment is tested.

As we move into February, check in with yourself: How ready am I to take action despite the questions I have or the fear I feel?
If you truly want to reach your goals, then you are prepared to take action - even when life feels full. On a “readiness scale,” that’s about a 7 out of 10.

Coaching offers the support, structure and guidance you need to move forward instead of circling your goals for another year.

Are you ready, or just hopeful?

Contact our office to book your Discovery Call today.

Caregiving requires emotional, physical and mental endurance.

If you’re caring for a parent, spouse, child, or loved one—your tiredness does not mean you’re failing. It means you’re human.

We believe faith and therapy work together. Counselling offers a safe place to process challenges, strengthen your coping skills and restore emotional balance.

You do not have to carry this role alone.

Prioritizing your own well-being is an essential part of showing up as the person you want to be - for yourself and others.

Support is available - contact us today.

The start of a new year often invites reflection—
new goals, fresh beginnings, and new pathways toward healing.

Do you sense that you’re at a turning point?

A moment of decision?

What will you do with the life you’ve been given—
with your beauty, your talent, your privilege?
And what about the pain?
The disappointment?
The trials that have shaped you?

This new year is an invitation to choose intentionally what comes next.
We invite you to consider the support and guidance that therapy, coaching or spiritual direction can offer.

Whether you’re navigating anxiety or depression, wanting to move forward with new goals or desiring a deeper spiritual life, we are here to listen, walk alongside you and support your healing journey.

If you answered yes to any of these, pause and meet that need first. When we ignore them, we’re more likely to react emotionally, make poor choices or fall into unhealthy coping habits.

Try this instead:
✔ Eat something nourishing if you’re hungry
✔ Take a few deep breaths, move your body, or write it out if you’re angry
✔ Reach out to a friend if you’re feeling lonely
✔ Rest or take a break if you’re exhausted

HALT is a simple but powerful tool for building self-awareness and preventing emotional overwhelm.

Addiction may be asking to be seen and addressed.

Healing starts when we name what’s really there - We have seen it!

In 2025, one of the primary areas of concern for our clients was addiction. We count it a privilege to walk alongside courageous people who are finding freedom from addictive patterns.

Make 2026 your year for healing.

Stress is part of life, but intense emotions, blow-ups and strained relationships don’t have to be.

Learning practical skills to respond thoughtfully rather than reactively can support emotional well-being and stronger connections.

Our 12 week, online DBT Skills Group offers therapist-led, skills-based group support you can join from anywhere.

This structured online group focuses on learning and practicing evidence-based Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills in a supportive, guided environment alongside like-minded individuals who are also interested in building emotional and relational skills.

Led by two experienced therapists, participants learn how to:

✔️ Manage stress using practical, research-backed tools

✔️ Regulate emotions with greater awareness and balance

✔️ Communicate more effectively in personal relationships

✔️ Navigate challenges with increased confidence and clarity

This group may be a good fit for individuals who:

• Are interested in skill-building for emotional regulation

• Want practical tools they can apply in everyday situations

• Value learning in a supportive, therapist-guided group setting

• Prefer an accessible online format

Many participants report feeling:
• More grounded and emotionally steady

• Better equipped to handle challenging moments

• More confident in communication and relationships

• Supported through shared learning and practice

Change is built through skills, practice, and expert-guided support.

Unlock lasting change by visiting our website to secure your spot for our group starting February 2nd.
