Welcome
"Staying in your silence doesn't mean it goes away"-Wondell Moss
Healing begins when you allow one to follow you into your darkness and bear witness to your feelings of shame and deep emotional pain. You can hand over those negative perceptions you have of yourself and finally come out of those shadows. You can rediscover all of those wonderful versions of yourself that you have long forgotten.
Pet Loss
The bonds we form with our animal companions can be deeper than bonds we form with others.
Developmental Trauma
In childhood, we are supposed to learn that the ones caring for us are safe.
Eating, Self-Harming and Substance Abuse Disorders
It is very common for people who have a history of childhood trauma to struggle with unhealthy coping mechanisms such as disordered eating, cutting and/or substance abuse.
Loss/Grief/Depression
Recent Loss, whether it be a relationship or a job , can bring up unresolved grief leading to a low mood and depression.
Compassion Fatigue in Animal Care
You have dedicated your life to improving the lives of animals. This work is incredibly rewarding but can also be very emotionally draining and heartbreaking
