About Grace

It is now a well-known fact that we all have a need to be seen, heard, and understood. However, growing up, this truth was rarely spoken aloud. It took me many years before I would have the courage to roll up my sleeves and uncover my long-held beliefs and learn to validate my experience and emotions.
One of the most underestimated skills is emotion regulation. For most of us, we were never taught this, and in most cases, we grew up in environments that hindered this skill from flourishing. I understand the trepidation and fear, i've been there...The time and energy you invest in getting to know the person you've grown into and who you would like to become will be the most worthwhile gift you can give yourself and to those who love you.Do you feel ready to take the step? I invite you into a space where you set the pace and decide how far you are willing to go. During our time together, we will explore what feeling safe means to you. I will follow your lead and hold the space as we observe whatever comes up with compassion. Through this process, you will be seen, heard and understood by the person who has been with you all along.. you.

Testimonials

"Grace's loving presence and skillful capability to hold space felt truly healing for me. I could open up and breathe in my deep vulnerability from our very first session. There, where I might still had been blind or unaware, Grace was capable of returning a loving and kind mirror back to me until I caught it and was able to hold it for myself. I could completely relax and give myself into Grace's tender guidance to reach self-compassion. I felt I could reach deep hidden layers of pain while Grace was witnessing what came about in such a tender way. This made me feel emotionally safe, deeply seen and recognized. -Amanda

Workshops

I have facilitated a range of workshops including Bystander Intervention, Nonviolent Communication, Unwinding the Mind, Boundaries and Active Listening, and Creating Safe Spaces. These workshops have been delivered to diverse audiences, from students in highschool and university to university staff. They are designed to support thoughtful group dialogue around complex and emotionally challenging topics, while taking into account different cultural contexts, lived experiences, and needs.In my role as a master’s-level lecturer, I have also trained educators on how to recognise and respond to different learning styles, levels of motivation, and classroom energy. This work focuses on supporting students to take responsibility for their own learning, while helping teachers engage distracted or scattered students in ways that respect their creativity and curiosity, and build on these qualities rather than suppress them.I would be happy to discuss how these workshops can be tailored to your specific needs and explore this further during a call.
