Take a Time Out


In school, kids are told to take a time out when they get overwhelmed, irritable, or destructive. Though it has been used as punishment in the past, it’s essence is actually a chance to breathe, get away from the crowd and get some perspective.


How come we don’t do this when we are adults? Because we are taught to keep going and going, as if we are proving that we are worthy and making a contribution. When the truth is, we can just wear ourselves into the ground and end up drained and dissatisfied. We make decisions from a place of what we think we should do or who we think we should be. 

I know because I have done this numerous times in my life. I would get over-committed, feeling like I’m succeeding, and then I’d crash or go into a depression because I’m not in a balanced place of self-care.  Then either I’d catch a cold – the body’s way of saying “stop” – or I’d have interpersonal conflicts that send me into a spin. It’s just one stress after the next.

This is why I strongly believe that we all need a Time Out sometimes. We need to take a retreat from our regular activities and relationships and go within. We may need to ask ourselves some of the hard questions about life choices and relationships or we may need some time to question “what’s really going on here? Is this what I really want?”

This is where I come in. I’m here to offer you the sanctuary you need to step away and realign with your heart’s truths. I offer this through Tune Into Your Heart Sessions(available online or in-person), Energy Balancing Sessions or a Tune IntoYour Heart Personal Retreat Day.  

For all of my offerings, I strive to make a relaxed environment where you can be your natural self, without any expectations or pressures to be perfect.  I want to help you get out of your head and into your heart, where you can breathe more into your true heart’s desires. When you can find that still place within, I believe your inner voice will show up to guide you.  I want to help facilitate you to that place.

If you are unsure of which offering to book, then book a FREE“Tune Into Your Heart” Initial Session so we can explore what your needs are.

Take some time for yourself. Your heart and happiness needs it.

The Peace of Living From Your Heart


“Your heart knows things your mind can’t explain…” 
– unknown

When I was living from my head, I was in a constant state of strategizing, trying to ensure a safe future. I would have sleepless nights, thinking that I can figure out every possible solution to scenarios with my career path, relationships, friendships and security. It was exhausting and anxiety-ridden.   I got to such a place of burnout that I had to quit my job as an administrator and just work as a temp to take time out for me.

That was when I gave my time to do some self-discovery and follow some of my untapped passions. I  took an art class and it sent me into a whole other creative and intuitive dimension of myself. It helped me to trust the process of life more.  I started meditating and learning how to detach from the world and find a centre of peace within. I had a spiritual awakening, seeing that there was more to life than just paying the bills, worrying about ambition and going along without questioning the influences from childhood and society.  This was when I took a path inwards, to my heart and soul.

I know I could not have done this when my life was one stress after the next. My body was tight, my mind was even tighter. I needed to work part-time or at least do self-care days in order to stay aligned with who I am at the core, not who others wanted me to be.

This is why I offer what I do now. I help others relax and tune into their hearts so they can know a sense of deeper and inner peace in their lives. I believe that when we get out of our head and into our hearts, we actually find answers to life’s most challenging and difficult questions, like “should I stay in this relationship? Is this the right job for me? Am I fulfilling my potential and purpose? Do I know who I really am?”

I offer various services to support others to get to this place without having to get burnt out or quit their job. These include a relaxing energy balancing session, a Tune into Your Heart session or a full Tune Into Your Heart Personal Retreat Day for those in the Guelph-area. 

To determine what your needs are and if I can help you so you can listen more from your place of deeper knowing, please book a FREE “Tune Into Your Heart” Initial Session.  We can meet by Zoom or in-person. Because you deserve to live with great peace and meaning.
