Useful Resources
Something I have come to learn in my healing journey is how important it is to have help and tools along the way. This page is intended to offer you some of the supportive resources I have found beneficial for myself as well as for my clients. Some I came across on my own, others were wonderful recommendations sent over from friends or colleagues. Ranging from books to websites to documentaries, YouTube videos, and podcasts, the topics will cover everything from trauma to childhood development to nutrition and health sciences to spiritual and personal growth. Consider these as potential breadcrumbs along your wellness path; trust your intuition and look into any that you feel called to.
This page will be updated as I am able to; I also try to post a resource periodically on my social media pages. If there are any resources that have helped you and you don't see them up here, please feel very welcome to connect with me and let me know about them. I truly believe we are stronger and more resilient when we share our tools and support with one another.
