One breath can change everything.

Before you speak.
Before you think.
You breathe.

Your breath carries stories your mind forgot how to tell.

Through guided breathwork, I help you release what’s been held too tightly, inviting space for calm, clarity and freedom to flow again.

💫 You’re just one breath away from feeling whole again.

No big practice today.
Just a gentle reminder to breathe and be here.
That’s where peace waits. 🤍

This year has been one of becoming — of rooting deeper, shedding comfort, and remembering what truly matters.

It all began as I sat beside my grandfather in his final moments, watching his breath fade. That experience reminded me of the fragility and the strength of being human… and it left me with one powerful question:
✨ What am I doing with the breaths I have left?

That question has guided me through every decision since — through the discomfort, the doubt, and the growth.

I share this story because maybe it invites you to pause and ask yourself the same.
What has this year meant for you? 💭
I’d love to hear in the comments.



a special thank you for the inspiration to share my voice and my story 🙌🏼

You’ve been holding it all.
The needs of others, the invisible weight, the endless doing.

This is your space to pause.

Women Who Hold is a gentle afternoon of breathwork, movement, reflection, and rest — created for the women who carry so much, and now deserve to be held themselves.

There’s a particular kind of grief that often goes unnamed. It’s not the grief of losing someone we love or even the grief that accompanies a devastating diagnosis.

I’m not just a counsellor — I’m also a Breathwork facilitator. Sharing these tools is my passion because I’ve experienced their profound effects myself.

Every person who steps into my space is held with integrity, respect, and deep care. For me, this isn’t just a job. You are not just a client. This is personal.

My greatest joy is helping you uncover the light within yourself — the fullness that’s always been there — so you can live from that space of wholeness and empowerment.

This beautiful review speaks to the love I have for this work. 🌿
