CPTSD and disenfranchised grief imbalance my wellbeing often, &, without notice.
Comfort, for me, is found in pairing spiritual practices such as QiGong, Reiki & Yoga with sensory practices like photography & crafting. Over the years, these practices produced an adaptable creative coping alchemy.
My website is a personal journal of surviving, redefining & seeking estrangement from complex trauma. It is a personal exercise in voluntary vulnerability to address & release shame as a survival tool.
Sincere gratitude to Helpful Changes, Special Olympics, Ideal-Way, LHSC, Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep, Autism Ontario London Chapter, London Abused Women’s Centre, Fanshawe's CICE Program, UWO, Children's Aid Society, PPOC, ANOVA & JENN Photography for their years of goodwill.
Generating photographic imagery has been my go to creative therapy practice for over 35 years.

”At the centre of your being you have the answer; you know who you are.”
