About
 

It is our goal to energize children/teenagers to rise up in personal power, and to overcome obstacles and circumstances that may be holding them back from their highest potential!

​

Hi!  I previously taught in the Rainbow District School system in Sudbury, Canada, as an Ontario Certified Teacher (OCT.ca).  I have a Bachelor of Education Degree (Nipissing University, Canada), and a Master of Arts Degree, Human Development (Laurentian University, Canada), with many years of experience working with children/teenagers. I adore both children and animals and have always had a special connection with them.

 

This is the first time I am sharing my story: I grew up in poverty, in an abusive and violent home, with parents who had mental illnesses and substance abuse issues.  As a result, I struggled with low self-esteem, anxiety and depression.  As a teenager and young adult, I came face to face with death, which emphasized the fragility of life and the importance of living my life with meaning. This led to my life's purpose and what I felt at a young age:  to bring love, light and hope to young people. I began seeing angels as a child, which gave me tremendous hope, and ultimately led me to the Ascension Healing Arts Center in Detroit, Michigan (United States) where I was certified in trauma healing.  I am currently enrolled in clinical hypnotherapy with the American Institute of Health Care Professionals (AIHCP.net).

​

Now, self-employed, I started this business, in December, 2023. I am pioneering in my work with children/teenagers, and their families, to provide support, both as an educator and trauma healer.  I bring encouragement and knowledge about children's/teenager's development, along with tools and methods that they can use in their everyday lives to manage their emotions, feelings, and energy.  It has been my life's mission to help children/teenagers to be overcomers.  Many children /teenagers are struggling with confidence, self-esteem, anxiety or depression, including those who are highly sensitive and empathic, and can benefit from learning how to manage their thoughts, energy and emotions, while learning that their sensitivity is a gift. These children need to be supported and empowered to rise above the obstacles in their lives, and to learn about their inner power and strength.  Their gifts should be nurtured so that they can become who they are meant to be in this world, strong in their ability to impact the world and to grow into the incredible beings of light that they are.
