I am a mother, a sister, a wife, a neighbour, a friend, a daughter…
I bring my whole self into this work and I will invite you to do the same as we work together. When I encounter challenges in my own life- whether in places of work, my significant relationships or my identity as a mother- I try to lean in. This work can be hard and messy, but has brought deep healing in my life.
I hope to extend space, skills and deep caring so you can find greater peace and joy in your life.
Tapestry is birthed from years of working with individuals, families, organizations and communities as a facilitator, community builder and social worker. I have worked for nonprofit organizations and for municipal government; I have worked in classrooms, offices, community centres and in many homes across Waterloo Region. Everywhere I go, I have learned so much from those who have invited me into their journey.
I trust I will learn from you, too.
I am excited to work with you- if you are here as an individual, as a family, or an organization.
At this time, Tapestry is focused on working with mothers (particularly those who are new to mothering), women, children/youth and organizations (for workshops and facilitated support).

Nearly three years ago, I became a mother. This new role brought me deep joy but also deep disorientation as my identity shifted dramatically. I have (and continue to) lean in with curiosity when challenges arise so that I have more capacity to be the kind of mom and partner I want to be. I have felt honoured to work alongside parents over the last several years: running groups, doing home visits and leading workshops. I am thrilled to continue strengthening parents and families through Tapestry.
