Guiding Principles and Values

As a “facilitator of learning”, I work with clients to figure out their answers to a few key questions: “what I want to see happen”, “how I want to get things done”, and “how to stay the course until I get where I want to be”. This work is done collaboratively and transparently.

My approach to facilitation is strongly influenced by the following philosophies and perspectives.

TRAUMA-INFORMED APPROACH

We become who we are today as a result of the path we have walked. Discerning the parts that make us whole, without judgment, reveals insights and connections that lay buried within our personal stories, waiting to be discovered.

PERSON-CENTRED APPROACH

Growth happens within the context of relationships. When this growth is facilitated by actions that say “it’s okay to want that” and “let’s find out how to get there”, it becomes easier to choose the work on our own. One day, it may even stop feeling like “work”.

Indigenous Ways of
Learning, Knowing, and Being

My choice to integrate Indigenous Ways of Learning, Knowing, and Being reflects my commitment to conduct my work in the right way, for the right reasons, and for the benefit of the right people.

Emotional Literacy and Self-Regulation

Your emotions accompany your journey through life alongside your shadow. Lean on them to keep you safe, secure, and on-track. Harness their momentum to get you where you’re heading faster. Work together with them to stretch your flexibility across different contexts and get the most out of what you bring to the table.
