What if Life didn’t have to feel so hard?
Maybe you’re navigating a tough relationship, feeling stuck in old patterns, or struggling to connect with the people you care about most. Or perhaps there’s this quiet sense that something’s missing—like there’s more to life or connection than what you’re experiencing right now. Whatever it is, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Meaningful change is possible, and it can be easier than you might think.
As a Relateful coach, I’m here to support you in exploring what’s happening beneath the surface and choosing new ways forward. Together, we’ll create a space where you can be real—no judgment and no pressure to fix everything overnight. Through honest conversations and relational presence, we’ll uncover insights about your patterns and experiment with new ways of being and relating. While no one can promise instant transformation, shifts do happen, and they can be significant. If you’re ready to explore what’s possible, I’d love to walk alongside you on this journey.
Find Connection in a Disconnected World
In today’s world, loneliness can feel like an overwhelming companion, especially when you’re navigating through life’s changes, challenges, or transitions. It’s easy to feel isolated, even when surrounded by others; and the constant noise of social media can leave you longing for deeper, more meaningful connections. As a Relateful coach, I’m here to help you unravel the layers of isolation and re-discover the joy of authentic connection with yourself and others.
Loneliness isn’t something to simply “get over” or ignore. It’s a signal — a message from your heart that it’s time to reconnect with what truly matters. Together, we will explore the root causes of your loneliness, whether it’s disconnection from your own emotions, unhealthy relationship patterns, or unmet needs. Through mindful reflection and practical steps, we can build pathways that lead you to a place of emotional wholeness and fulfilling relationships.
Understand the Roots of your Loneliness
Loneliness often isn’t about the number of people around you; it’s about the quality of the connections you have — or, sometimes, the lack of them. Understanding the root causes of your loneliness can help you move beyond simply feeling isolated and towards a deeper sense of belonging. Whether it stems from childhood experiences, current life stressors, or unhealed wounds, addressing these patterns can help you cultivate a healthier relationship with yourself and others.
As a Relateful coach, I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore the underlying causes of your loneliness. Together, we’ll uncover old beliefs, past hurts, and societal pressures that may be keeping you stuck in isolation. With compassion and insight, we’ll work to release these barriers so you can create the connections you truly deserve — ones that nurture, inspire, and uplift you.
Create Meaningful Connection in Your Relationships
Feeling lonely often leads to a sense of powerlessness, but the good news is that you can change your relationship with both yourself and others. It begins with self-compassion and understanding that your worth is not defined by the quantity of relationships in your life. Through Relateful coaching, I’ll help you develop the emotional resilience and self-awareness needed to build meaningful relationships that are rooted in mutual respect, trust, and authenticity.
Through personalized coaching, we’ll identify what’s holding you back from finding deeper connections, whether that means learning to set boundaries, practicing vulnerability, or navigating difficult conversations. You’ll gain the tools to nurture relationships that are reciprocal and fulfilling, while also learning to embrace solitude as an opportunity for growth and self-care. Loneliness may be a part of your past, but with the right guidance and awareness, it doesn’t have to define your future.
Paradoxically, the more we try to change ourselves, the more we prevent change from occurring.
On the other hand, the more we allow ourselves to fully experience who we are, the greater the possibility of change.

My Story
Ever since I could speak, I was that curious child who pestered my father with “Why? Why? Why?” Having read Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History of Time in High School, I decided to pursue a degree in Physics in order to learn “How the Universe Works”. But as an immature 18 year old who scored better marks in first year Calculus and Algebra than Physics, I pivoted fields and completed my first BSc Hons in Mathematics in 2005. For the next few years, I meandered through various office jobs and college courses before moving to Saskatchewan and finally following my High School passion of Physics, in which I completed a BSc with High Honours in 2012 and a PhD in 2017.
In that process (specifically, in 4th year Nuclear and Particle Physics with my skepticism around the validity of the Standard Model of Particle Physics), I made the Worldview-Shattering realization that science – while powerful – doesn’t have all the answers for understanding the universe. After submitting my thesis, I pivoted again and started down a spiritual path that began with yoga teacher training in India and Buddhist meditation retreats in Thailand. I had always been drawn to the Hindu God Ganesh – the remover of obstacles – but had never seriously pursued it until then.
Meanwhile, during the almost cliche “Marital Communication Challenges,” I also started training in Nonviolent Communication. Spoiler alert! The marital challenges weren’t simply poor communication skills, although that deficiency certainly didn’t help matters; they stemmed from our respective deep-seated childhood dynamics and unprocessed emotional wounds. My former husband and I both had inner little ones who had never received the support and compassion they needed to feel secure in adult relationships, and we were playing out our childhoods, unconsciously trying to fix one another so we wouldn’t have to feel so crappy about our insecurities.
Eventually, we discovered the residential intensives at a personal development center called The Haven. For the first time, my then-husband was using feeling words and showing genuine curiosity for my inner world! I was so moved by the almost overnight transformation in him that I followed his lead and started taking programs there, first their 5-day Come Alive and eventually their 25-day Living Alive programs.
Amidst these programs, I attended the I Am Festival in Teulon, MB. There I encountered Hoji Alexandra Tataryn and Dr Doug Tataryn. With Doug, I began learning emotional processing through his Bioemotive Framework and with Ali, I began practicing Integral Circling. Later I started practicing, training in, and eventually facilitating an umbrella practice called Relatefulness.
Relatefulness is a relational mindfulness practice that has become the core of my way of being in the world. As a practice, it invites participants to come into deeper awareness of their own and one another’s worlds while also holding connection to the “We-Space” that arises by consciously being-with each other. As a Way of Being, Relatefulness is a full-time practice of being curious about what’s going on for others when they seem to be speaking from an informational or surface level of awareness; of holding space for people who are deep in their emotions and allowing our own nervous systems to resonate with them; of trusting that what’s going on for me is a reflection of what’s going on for you, and vice-versa; of noticing my activations and getting curious about what I might be projecting or transferring onto others. In general, it’s a way of bringing more awareness and consciousness to relationships.
Once I had gotten to a place where I was more-or-less happy and “healed enough”, I started feeling called to pay forward the love and support I had received from my own mentors and teachers. To this end, I explored several different healing modalities while also processing my discomfort with identifying as a “healer” (work in progress!)
I trained through Integral Coaching Canada‘s Associate level training (receiving my Integral Associate Coach certification in 2021). While this modality is powerful and taught me to start viewing clients from their own Way of Being, it was not the right fit for the way I wanted to relate to people in the present moment while also being with their challenges. Around the same time, I also became a Haven Intern (receiving my Certificate in Haven Counselling Skills in 2022), which has been extremely transformative in how I relate to groups and lead workshops.
Because Circling and Relatefulness had been so powerful in my life, I decided to take a more intensive training and was drawn to The Relateful Company‘s Level Up ⬆ Facilitation Mastery program. This had such a profound impact on my life – including a complete deconstruction of my identity – that I wanted to continue on this path. This led me to the Relateful Coaching training, which I completed in February 2023. From April to August 2023, I went through Relateful Co.’s Facilitator in Training advanced mentorship, and began leading multiple weekly sessions online in September 2023.
I was called to study the Akasha in early 2024. With support from my own Masters, Guides, and Loved Ones, I began a daily practice of accessing the records using the Pathway Prayer Process and offering readings to others. Later this year, I was guided to channel my personal Opening and Closing Blessings and express my soul service work by combining channeling together with Relateful Coaching, Polyvagal-based nervous system regulation and Felt Sense Focusing to holistically support people across all dimensions in their Soul Growth and Healing journeys.
