Writing & Reflections

Writing has always been central to my life and work. Stories help us make meaning, feel less alone, and reconnect with the threads running through our lives.

Writing for healing and support

My work as a writer informs how I listen and reflect. I believe in the value of journaling and automatic writing as ways to bring what’s inside onto the page and make space for your own wisdom.

Read my work

I’ve written for Canadian publications on child loss, grief, parenting, health, food, and fitness. Explore my work with Today’s Parent, including my Self-Care Sunday series.

I co-authored Through, Not Around: Stories of Infertility and Pregnancy Loss, a book for people moving through loss and for those who want to support them with compassion.
