What inspired you to create this particular wellness workshop?
A lot is going on in the world right now that is not going according to the script in
our heads, and we are feeling stressed. The daily build-up of emotions is starting to
wear us out, so this is an opportunity to access new tools to restore our calm, our
confidence, and our courage.

Can you give us a brief overview of what attendees can expect from the workshop?
You can expect to meet other people who are worried about the future, people who wish bad things would stop happening, people who are starting to feel exhausted. And you can expect to learn a simple technique that is completely free and available to everyone to deal with these thoughts and feelings so that they don’t overwhelm you.
What is the main goal you hope participants will achieve by the end of the workshop?
By the end of the workshop, participants will know EXACTLY how to deal with the thoughts and feelings that are taking up space “rent-free” in their minds: the thoughts and feelings which upset us, deplete us, scare us, and just generally make us unhappy.
What kind of atmosphere do you hope to create during the workshop?
This is a completely safe space for everyone. I have 35 years of experience in facilitating groups and I can guarantee that EVERYONE IS WELCOME and will be treated respectfully.
What are you most excited about sharing with the participants?
Being stressed, anxious, or unhappy IS NOT YOUR ONLY OPTION! In just over an hour, you can learn a technique that you can get started on right away to feel calmer, to think more clearly, and to go about your day with more confidence.
What is your background and experience in the wellness field?
On January 4 th , 1990, I got my first job as an intern in the field of Mental Health. In the past 35 years, I’ve never thought of doing anything else. There are two reasons for this: I loved empowering people (for sure!), but also, I myself was desperately unhappy and I wanted to find a cure for my own misery. Luckily, I did! And today I share my experience, strength, and hope with anyone who wishes to feel better. I use an IFS-informed approach to teach people how to access an INNER RESOURCE THAT EVERYONE POSSESSES that enables us to live joy-full lives.
I don’t call myself a therapist anymore, though. I like to say that my therapist-parts have retired. Today I call myself an “accompagnatrice” for two reasons: first, because I accompany my clients as they learn to heal themselves, and second, because the word translates into “companion”, and I like that because it makes me think of “companion plants”… and that’s what my work is about these days: my clients feel better because they work with me, and I feel better because I work with them!
What led you to focus on helping people find peace of mind?
It’s the most important thing. Without equanimity there can be no compassion, for one’s self or for others. And with it, we CAN INNER RESOURCE THAT EMPOWERS US TO LIVE JOY-FULL LIVES.
What is the exact time and location of the workshop on June 1st?
At Creating Centre in Vankleek Hill, 11 High Street. At 2 pm.
Is there a limit to the number of participants?
Nope.Everyone will get their own worksheet and instructions.
