Thank you for taking the time to connect with me.

I’ve been a Registered Nurse, an International Educator, and a Yoga Teacher and now a Wellbeing Counsellor and Certified Compassionate Inquiry Practitioner. But long before any of that, I was just a human trying to figure out where I fit in.

Being half-Filipino and half-Northwestern European, “belonging” was never a given, even within my own family. That search led to 30 years and seven countries before landing back in my home of origin which is Canada. Moving around the world taught me a lot about why we build emotional armor, and how our roots shape the way we love, trust, and try to navigate life like functional adults.

My practice blends nursing knowledge, somatic wisdom, and Compassionate Inquiry — I hold space for your mind and body to catch up with each other before words even enter the room. I work with people carrying stress, anxiety, shame, or patterns they can’t learn to let go of. I especially love working with young people, educators, caregivers, and fellow global nomads living between worlds.

We get hurt in relationships and we can heal in them too. Once you feel safe, seen, and heard without having to perform, the real work can begin. I’d love to hold that space for you.
