As a Compassionate Inquiry® Practitioner, Veterinary Surgeon, Counselling Therapist, and Mother, I am committed to promoting the well-being of both animals and people.

My path into this work stems from my experience in demanding roles within the veterinary industry, where I saw time and again how people, including myself, lost connection with themselves, often resulting in what is known as “compassion fatigue.” Gabor Maté describes this phenomenon as being rooted, among other things, in a lack of self-compassion. What came so naturally to our animal patients—their connection to themselves and the present moment—became increasingly distant from us.

My primary mission is to help people connect with themselves and with one another, so they can sustain their work and relationships as authentically as possible. I believe that when people learn to take good care of themselves, they are better able to care for others with greater calm, presence, and compassion.

I feel most at home in environments where I can work from a place of connection, create positive change together with others, and make a meaningful contribution. For me, authenticity, integrity, personal responsibility, and the courage to face discomfort rather than avoid it form the foundation of both personal and professional growth.
