I’m the founder and trainer for Compassionate Growth Consulting.

My journey with Mindful Self-Compassion has been a personal one. I was first introduced to the practice back in 2016. At the time, I was working full-time, I was a full-time doctoral student, and I was a single mother to a three year-old. This menagerie of roles meant that feeling frazzled and overwhelmed was my baseline. Living in the present moment was next to impossible because I was “always” in my head. And, juggling so many responsibilities meant that I was inevitably going to drop balls, which I did, often. So add to the chronic stress and lack of presence, feeling like I was inadequate, especially as a mother.

Mindful Self-Compassion became my life preserver. Through it, I found solace, peace and a greater ability to live in the present moment. In addition to helping me to heal from present moment difficulties, it has also helped me to confront and heal from past traumas I had spent much of my adult life trying to suppress. Mindful Self-Compassion has not only proved essential to my personal life, but also my professional life. I am able to pursue my passion and purpose with greater conviction and courage because I am equipped to handle the trifecta that typically gets in the way of taking risks- a fear of failure, judgement and rejection.

I look forward to serving as your guide on your own journey towards a life brimming with joy, peace and courage.
