A Journey Through the Shadows
A quiet transformation through grief, courage, and coming home to yourself.
This 8-week 1:1 healing journey invites you to surrender to the shadows — not as something to fear, but as something to honour. Because sometimes healing comes not in blazing light, but in the soft letting go at the edge of night.
“And the shadow of the day will embrace the world in grey. And the sun will set for you…”
— Linkin Park, Shadow of the Day
This journey meets you at the edge — of who you’ve been and who you are becoming. Where endings are not failures, but necessary dissolves. Where grief is not weakness, but a sacred rite. Where silence carries answers, and your shadows are not enemies… but messengers.
What is "Through The Shadows"?
Held is an 8-week, deeply personal 1:1 coaching container where you will gently — and powerfully — face the parts of yourself you’ve kept in the dark.
We’ll walk together through emotional wounds, unmet needs, inner children, shadow patterns, and old identities — all with one goal: integration, healing, and wholeness.

Children’s Books Author
Where stories spark personal growth in young minds
As an author, I am passionate about crafting tales that not only entertain but also encourage curiosity, self-discovery, and emotional well-being. To date, I’ve written two children’s books: The Story of Babushka (2020), a heartwarming tale of wisdom and tradition, and Listen to Your Inner Voice (2024), which invites children to trust their inner guidance and embrace their individuality.
I invite you to join me on this adventure, where each story is a step toward nurturing mindful, confident, and compassionate children.
