💔 In 2009, I was sitting on the hospital floor while my 3-year-old son fought cancer. Sick, newly pregnant, and overwhelmed, I could barely hold myself together.

What carried me wasn’t answers or logic — it was the presence of someone who sat with me in the storm. My midwife showed up, not with solutions, but with presence. That moment has never left me.

Today, so many turn to AI for support. But here’s the truth: AI can give you information. It cannot give you presence. Healing happens in safe relationships — the very place where wounds begin is also where they are healed.

👀 As you swipe through this carousel, ask yourself:
Are you seeking answers, or are you seeking presence?

✨ Grace is a verb. Love is a verb. Mercy is a verb.
And presence… presence is healing.

➡️ Share this with someone who needs the reminder that they are seen, heard, and worthy of real connection.

Love isn’t one-size-fits-all.
You might be giving everything you have, but in a language they don’t speak.

The 5 love languages help us understand how we give and receive love:
✨ Words
✨ Time
✨ Service
✨ Touch
✨ Thoughtfulness

At Selah Counselling, Mediation & Training Center, we help you untangle the disconnect so love feels less confusing, and more connecting.

Because love isn’t just about effort. It’s about learning each other.

The Tension of Leadership and Vulnerability
(Sharing my pause)

Note: Selah in Saskatoon is now closing and released my team in that location. Selah Treatment Center (not-for-profit is pausing). Selah Counselling in Woodstock is still open and smaller.

I’ve been sitting with the tension that so many leaders wrestle with. How to lead with both strength and vulnerability. We live in a time where some leaders project images of polished perfection, while others share so openly that their humanity can feel uncontained. Somewhere in between is a space I’ve been trying to find. It is a place where professionalism meets authentic, embodied leadership.

The truth is, there’s no formula for getting this balance exactly right. Vulnerability is not about perfect timing or packaging. It’s a posture. One that recognizes the power of being human while honouring the responsibility of leadership. And that’s hard. Because how someone receives our vulnerability often says more about their experience than it does about our intent.

Recently, I recorded a video, but after some thoughtful feedback, I deleted it. Maybe it was too raw, too real. But here’s the truth I’m still committed to: I want to lead in a way that reflects my humanity. I don’t want to be messy without boundaries, but to be honest, and to show that healing and leadership can coexist. There is also seasons where stepping back and pausing is restorative.

Over the past year, I’ve taken a significant step back to care for myself. It’s something I’ve encouraged my clients to do countless times, but living it out personally has required a different kind of courage and capacity. This season has demanded deep reflection and painful decisions. But I believe leadership is not about pushing through at all costs. It’s about pausing when needed, reevaluating, and tending to the parts of us that can no longer be ignored.

So, here is my heart, shared with intention and integrity.

I have made the incredibly difficult decision to close our Saskatoon location. And perhaps even more tender, I’ve decided to place Selah Treatment Center, our not-for-profit charitable organization, on pause for now. This decision did not come lightly. Selah has always been about reaching those who often fall through the cracks of care due to financial limitations. That vision is still alive in me. But building and sustaining a not-for-profit takes enormous energy, trust, credibility, and presence, and right now, I need to redirect those things toward my own healing.

For the time being, I will be leasing our building. The mission doesn’t stop. It just takes a new form for now. Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center will continue on a smaller scale in Woodstock with a small, dedicated team. I will continue to see my current clients and may take on a few new ones, but I will not be focused on growing the practice during this time. My priority is taking care of myself so I can show up fully for those I serve.

If you see a lease sign out front, please know it doesn’t mean the end. It means pause. It means healing. It means restructuring so that the future can be built differently.

This is my attempt to lead from a place that is both real and responsible. I’m not sure I’ll always get it right, but I will always aim to be honest, human, and rooted in the kind of leadership that I believe the world desperately needs.

Mental health matters, even when it’s invisible.
You don’t need to prove your pain or wait for things to fall apart before reaching out.

At Selah Counselling, Mediation & Training Center, we believe that asking for help is an act of strength, not weakness. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply not yourself, you deserve support that meets you where you are.

Let’s break the silence, together.
Your mental health matters, and so do you. 🤍

Why do I react like this in relationships?
Often, the answer lies in your attachment style.

Understanding how you connect or disconnect from others can offer powerful insight into your relationships, boundaries, and even your triggers.

At Selah Counselling, Mediation & Training Center, we help you explore these patterns with compassion, not judgment.

Because awareness is the first step to change.

Many people enter therapy wondering: “How will I know if it’s working?”

At Selah Counselling, Mediation & Training Center, we believe healing should be measurable and tangible.

We don’t just treat the label or symptom. We look deeper:

👉 What’s the root cause?
👉 What’s been unprocessed?
👉 What patterns are still playing out?

Real progress isn’t vague, it shows up in how you respond, relate, and take care of yourself.
We ask the hard questions, reflect together, and measure change in real, tangible ways.

Because you deserve therapy that goes beyond surface-level care; and moves toward lasting transformation.

☁️We know it’s tempting to Google everything when you’re struggling.

And sometimes, AI can feel like a quick way to get answers.

But mental health isn’t just about information; it’s about connection.

Therapy isn’t something you can automate.

It’s a relationship.
It’s safety.
It’s being met where you are; by someone who’s really there.

At Selah Counselling, Mediation and Training Center we offer support that’s real, personal, and human.

Men deserve safe spaces to talk about what they’re carrying.

The pressure to be “strong” and silent has kept too many struggling alone.

This Men’s Mental Health Month, let’s break the stigma, challenge old narratives, and remind the men in our lives that asking for help is not weakness, it’s strength.

🕊 At Selah Counselling, Mediation & Training Center, we’re here to support men through the real, hard, human work of healing.
