Menu
A soft place to arrive and belong and to honour your sensitivity and capacity.
With Certified Coach Julie Cusmariu and Registered Psychotherapist, Nicole Schiener
Are you struggling with:
- Feeling exhausted, overwhelmed and distracted
- Feeling ultimately responsible for everything and everyone
- Feeling disconnected from your body and intuition
- Sometimes wishing you weren't so sensitive
- Feeling like you’re drowning in your client’s, students or children’s pain
- Feeling guilty for not being more present at home or work
- Feeling like the weight of the world’s suffering is on your shoulders
The last few years have only made it harder
- The overwhelm
- The uncertainty and anxiety
- The division and polarization
- The collective pain and traumas
- The insecurity and instability
It’s NOT your fault. It’s too much for anyone.
But there is hope.
We heal in compassion.
We heal in connection to our body’s wisdom.
We heal in community.

We know you are busy and brilliant. You don’t need more work to do or to be told what to do. The answers lie within you. But everyone needs time and space to slow down and connect. Despite being essential work, caregiving at home and work is deeply devalued by society. Women, especially helping professionals are burning out. Health concerns, mental health issues and relationship struggles are on the rise. Compassion fatigue compromises our work. These practices can enhance your use of self and help you become a better partner, parent and professional.
