My Philosophy
Exploring the layers of life, parenting, and healing.
Life is full of transitions, unexpected changes, and the daily work of showing up—for ourselves, our children, and those we love. It’s also deeply influenced by the stories we carry, the patterns we’ve inherited, and the healing we’ve yet to do.
My work is about meeting you in the in-between spaces—where life feels messy and complicated—and guiding you through the layers of your experience with curiosity, compassion, and intention.
The Gray Manifesto
YOU are the foundation
When you prioritize yourself, you create a steady ground for those around you. Your well-being matters—when you feel off, your family feels it too. Rest, truth, and a sense of security begin with you.
Simplicity is therapeutic
The spaces we create, the words we choose, and the rituals we practice hold profound potential to ground and guide us through life’s complexities.
There is medicine in the dark
In moments of not knowing, when things feel foggy and unclear, it’s hard to find our way—but these are the places where clarity and transformation often begin.
healing is layered
We’re not meant to do this alone. Transformation is supported by safe, compassionate relationships—starting with the one you build with yourself.
your story is your own
Have faith in the unfolding of your story, even when life doesn’t go as planned. There is wisdom in the timing, even if it feels unclear in the moment.
You are beautiful as you are
Even at your worst, you are loved and supported. Growth and healing do not erase your worth—they remind you of it.
Nothing that grieves us can be called little: by the eternal laws of proportion a child’s loss of a doll and king’s loss of a crown are events of the same size. Mark Twain

“You feel like home. There is something really calming and kind about your presence and I always feel wonderful about myself regardless of any insecurity. It's not that you make it better, you just make me feel safe.”
