For more than 15 years, she has had the privilege of accompanying individuals, organizations, and communities on their journeys toward wellness. Her professional path has taken her into corporate environments, private practice, and hospitals, with each setting deepening her understanding of how people cultivate inner strength, meaning, and resilience—even in life’s most challenging moments.

As a mother, wife, daughter, and professional, she understands firsthand the complexity of balancing multiple roles. Through her own experience, she has learned that perfectionism and over-responsibility can stand in the way of the peace of mind that supports meaningful care for others. Her personal journey has centered on finding balance, embracing imperfection, and returning to what truly matters—life lessons that naturally inform how she supports others in doing the same.

Outside of her professional work, she nurtures her wellbeing by running on Mont-Royal with her dog Kasha, sharing coffee and conversation in the Mile End, playing tennis, practicing yoga, writing and traveling to faraway places.
