Hi! I’m Gillian (she/her), and I’m so glad you’re here!
I believe you were designed to thrive. And yet – sometimes life happens, and we need a little help finding our way forward.
I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor offering compassionate, trauma-informed support for youth and adults. I help people heal their relationship with food, movement, and body image, and navigate life’s transitions with curiosity and care. Through one-to-one counselling, groups, and retreats, I invite you to reconnect with your body, your relationships, and your sense of wholeness—so you can live with greater ease and authenticity.
If you’re in a season of struggle, please hear this: you’ve got this (legit!). And, you don’t have to do this alone. It would be my honour to support you. Together, we will figure out the tools and support you need to bring your vision of thriving to life!

Swimming 10k: a celebration of my body.
I was a runner for over 20 years. Between my own running and coaching others, my world revolved around running. I loved it. But in the last few years, my body had stopped loving it. I had chronic back pain. Then there was the pandemic. And I pivoted, hard (just like...
I upsized my summer wardrobe, and it’s ok.
I didn't even need to pull out my summer clothing bin. I knew my summer clothes from last year weren't going to fit. Because much like many people this past year, I've gained weight (and it's ok). But rather than jump on the diet train and try and shrink my body (and...
