ABOUT

Hi Soul Friend, I'm Hayley.​

​2015 was the year that changed everything for me.

​

I lost my Dad, my health, my ability to work a job I loved, my relationship ended, and ultimately - I lost myself.

Through this deeply painful yet transformational period, I emerged differently.

 

I was forever changed by the depth of my own heartbreak. 

 

The pain was still there, but I carried it differently. The grief was still there, but I made space for joy as well. I found ways to allow the pain of grief to coexist within the beauty of life.  

​

Grief and loss have broke my heart, cracked me open, and allowed my heart to expand in ways I never imagined possible. My experiences with loss continue to deepen who I am as a human, as a therapist and as a companion through the wilderness of grief and change. It has prompted me to search for more many times over - more meaning, more depth, and more out of this life I get to live. 

​​​

We don't do platitudes or silver linings here, just the real, raw, honest stuff.

​

With an intuitive ear for hearing your souls whispers, and years of experience honouring and holding grieving hearts, my gift is in helping you see the wisdom, power and resilience of your own beating heart even as it breaks wide open. Here to support you as you (re)claim your deepest desires and live into your fullest expression, while honouring the tenderness of your loss and your broken heart.

​

I long for a world where grief is a foundational skill to human-ing, and to doing anything brave in this world because there is, and always will be, grief along the way (even in our biggest and best expansions). 

​

If you're here, I'm guessing you already know and FEEL that, and what you need is a space that welcomes ALL of you - Your grief, your pain, your tears, your love, your joy, your sorrow, your wildness, your dreams, and your aliveness. 

 

I would be honoured to support you on your journey, and can't wait to connect with you - heart to heart.

All of you is welcome here

YOUR GRIEF, YOUR PAIN, YOUR TEARS, YOUR LOVE, YOUR JOY, YOUR DREAMS, YOUR ALIVENESS.

A NOTE

​

While I love to expand my knowledge so that I can continue to guide and support you in a safe, informed, and integrative way, life has been my greatest teacher, it is where my experiences and knowledge have been embodied and alchemized into wisdom. I deeply value the educational containers and mentors that I have learned from over the years, and I also want to acknowledge the countless hours of self-study and embodied practice I have dedicated myself to over the last 10+ years.

 

I am deeply passionate about learning and creating a collaborative approach to healing and wholeness. My practice is always evolving as I do.
