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.

Imagine a space where you can slow down and come home to your inner knowing.
Imagine a refuge from all the pressures and demands of your life.
Imagine a place where you can carve out time to connect to yourself with kindness and curiosity.
Imagine a circle of support to help you release your burdens and reclaim the gifts of your sensitive nature.
Imagine less stress, pressure and overwhelm and more room for joy, peace and renewed confidence at home and work.

You Can Care Without Carrying the Weight of the World on Your Shoulders

Combining 40 years of experience in the fields of mental health, wellbeing and coaching and our own personal journeys of living as highly sensitive people and recovering from burnout, we are excited to share what we’ve learned from specialized training, lived experiences and ongoing education.

Join us in this safe and welcoming space where you can feel seen and supported as you slow down, let go and reconnect to the wisdom of your body. 

We strive to create a safe accepting space that welcomes and fosters each individual person and promotes diversity, equity, justice, equality and belonging.

We are deeply committed to identifying our unconscious bias and acknowledge our privilege as white, cis woman dedicated to uplifting others and challenge systemic oppression.

  • Deepen trust in yourself by reclaiming the wisdom of your feelings
  • Learn to use your anger to support boundary setting

Week 4

Fiercely Protecting Your Time and Energy

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.
