I'm Sandra,  a midlife counselling therapist dedicated to supporting women navigating life transitions, trauma recovery, and personal growth.  I understand the unique challenges that come with midlife shifts—grief, loss, identity changes, relationships, and rediscovering purpose. My journey has led me to deeply appreciate the importance of healing, self-awareness, and meaningful change.

​

My Journey

Born and raised in Alberta, I have lived and travelled abroad, gaining a deep appreciation for cultural diversity and personal transformation. My experiences have shaped my understanding of resilience, self-discovery, and the power of embracing change—essential themes for many women in midlife.

​

Before becoming a counselling therapist, I pursued a career in publishing, founding a small lifestyle magazine called routes, which celebrated the beauty of the Alberta foothills and the journeys of those who lived there. Through this work, I connected with individuals experiencing midlife reinvention, personal growth, and healing from past wounds. It was during this time that I realized my natural empathy for those struggling with self-doubt, anxiety, and unresolved trauma, especially among women facing midlife challenges.

​

My Healing Path

I know what it means to struggle with painful memories and emotional wounds for decades. Like many women in midlife, I reached a point where I felt stuck—burdened by past experiences yet longing for change. With the support of a compassionate therapist, I embarked on a healing journey in my 50s, working through childhood trauma and embracing personal growth.

​

I often hear from clients: “Am I too late to change in midlife?” My answer is always no—midlife is a powerful time for self-reflection, healing, and new beginnings. It is often in this stage of life that we finally give ourselves permission to prioritize our well-being, explore our deeper needs, and step into a more fulfilling and authentic version of ourselves.

​

The Routes to Wellness

Healing looks different for everyone. The routes to wellness are varied and abundant. For me, I find deep connection and inner peace when I stand in a forest or place my bare feet in a cold mountain river. For you, it might be through counselling, self-reflection, mindfulness, or creating space for yourself in new ways. What brings you to a place of deep peace? I look forward to joining you as you seek to discover your true self.
