Over the
past few years, one thing has become very apparent to me; I live with purpose.
This journey started back in 2010 when, following the birth of my son, I faced
PostPartum Depression. It was a very lonely place to be, but writing, getting
back to my roots as an abstract painter and sculptor, and leading with an open
heart helped me to understand that it was a part of my journey, and a part of
my purpose.
Find Your Purpose
In summer 2013, after experiencing a miscarriage, I set out on a path to find my
purpose again; to search through the dark places in my soul, challenge myself,
push the boundaries and uncover something really amazing. This led to a love of
running {and all of the medals that go with completing races}, a new art
collection shown at a gallery in Toronto, and the want to help others uncover
their own purpose.
My purpose
and passion is deeply rooted in abstract art, interior design, and finding the
beautiful in every day. As the mom of two boys, I am often surrounded by mess,
noise and dirt. Taking a moment to breathe, to tap into my soul and connect
with my core, I find my passion in being a mom, wife, artist, runner, mentor
and woman. I have found my purpose.
Live With
Passion

There is a
certain amount of purpose in everything that we do. While some tasks may seem
mundane and arbitrary, I can promise you that there is an underlying force
driving us to complete them. This is your purpose, your true passion.
As a
writer, I hope to inspire.
As an
artist, I hope to bring beauty.
As a
mother, I hope to fill my children with passion and teach them to push their
boundaries.
As a doula, I hope to bring my clients full circle with their purpose and truth.
Join me,
and find yours.
