I understand the struggle that so many women and caregivers face. You pour your love, time, and energy into others. You care deeply, love fiercely, and carry the weight of countless responsibilities. Somewhere along the way, your own needs got lost the shuffle. I know the feeling because I’ve been there too.
For years, I've watched many incredible women and caregivers push themselves beyond exhaustion, while trying to hold everything together. We are encouraged to be productive, but not present. We are expected to care for others, while not caring for ourselves. Society glorifies the never-ending to-do list, but where is the celebration for rest, joy, or simply being?
My own wake-up call came during an unexpected family health crisis. I realized burnout is not a badge of honour, but a warning sign. I knew it was time to make some changes. I needed to slow down and prioritize my own well-being, before I could truly show up and give to others. Now, I’m excited to guide and support others do the same.
As an empath and advocate, I have spent over two decades supporting others both personally and professionally. I have always been deeply in tune with the emotions and energy of others. As a child, I didn’t understand why I was more sensitive or had physical reactions to the world around me. Now, I embrace those sensitivities as a gift that allows me to build authentic connections, even when words are not exchanged.
This gift became the foundation of my work as a developmental support specialist, educator, and holistic practitioner. I'm thrilled to be able to share my experience and expertise in this next chapter of life through InTune Intentions.
My Journey:
From Burnout to Balance
We live in a world that idealizes constant productivity and perfectionism. Many of us push through exhaustion, believing that slowing down means falling behind. We care for others, meet expectations, and try to keep going. Eventually, something has to give.
You are not alone. So many of us feel overwhelmed, disconnected, and stretched thin. Yet, we rarely talk about it. The truth is, many of the people around us feel the same way. They are tired, emotionally drained, and longing for a chance to take a pause.
I know the struggle because I have lived it too. For years, I put everyone else first, believing my needs could wait until a more convenient time. Then, a family health crisis forced me to stop. It became painfully clear that neglecting my own well-being wasn't just hurting me. It was affecting everyone around me.
Everything changed when I started to prioritize well-being. I set healthy boundaries, realigned with what truly mattered, and enjoyed feeling lighter, present, and more connected. These changes positively rippled in to every area of life including my relationships. As I aligned and flourished, so did my energy and my ability to give from a place of abundance rather than depletion.
Why I Created InTune Intention
Wellness begins with being in tune—with your body, mind, and the world around you.
I created InTune Intentions as a safe, nurturing space where women and caregivers can rest, recharge, and realign without the guilt. It's time to break free from the cycle of burnout and embrace a life where self-care is not an afterthought, but a necessity that allows everything else to flourish.
Caring for yourself is not just for you. It's an act of love that creates a positive ripple effect, extending to those around you. The way we care for ourselves shapes the way we care for others. Our loved ones watch how we move through life. When they see us honouring our needs, they learn to honour theirs too.
It is never too late to choose yourself, shift the narrative, and create a ripple effect of living intentionally and feeling in tune.

It's time to break the cycle of exhaustion and burnout so many of us have accepted as normal. Self-care shouldn't be an afterthought. It should be the foundation that allows us to live fully and flourish as our most authentic self.
InTune Intentions combines my personal experience with professional expertise to provide holistic, heart-led support that honours each person’s unique needs.
The Foundation of InTune Intentions
Every service and support I offer is rooted in the belief that:
✔ You are worthy of care. Your well-being is just as important as those you support.
✔ Balance is essential. Over-giving leads to depletion, while self-care creates abundance, connection, and joy.
✔ Intentional growth is deeply personal, not a one size fits all approach. Your journey is uniquely yours and I'm honoured to guide you on your journey.
✔ Energy flows where intention goes. When you nurture yourself, you invite calm, clarity, and connection into your life.

How I Stay InTune & Live with Intention
Simple Treasures
I am drawn to things that hold energy, history, and a sense of magic. Whether I’m thrift shopping for unique finds, searching for seashells along the shore, harvesting plants from my garden, or collecting crystals. I love surrounding myself with objects that carry a story.
Mother Nature
I love wandering trails with family and friends. I feel nurtured by the trees and enjoy the calming beauty of mother nature. I find my flow when I'm in water. My soul feels refreshed after dipping into the lake and letting stress be washed away. I love being barefoot and find it grounding to dance in the grass at concerts or dig my toes into the sand at the beach.
Music is Life
After lots of planning and saving, we packed our van with three young kids and went on a once in a lifetime six-week musical road trip. We explored the roots of rock, soul, blues, jazz, pop, and country, along with international influences. We learned how music connects people across cultures and eras, breaking barriers and telling stories that resonate on the deepest level of humanity. Concerts literally have me on a high vibe for weeks.
Food for the Soul
I adore the homey feel of a diner. It doesn't pretend to be anything it's not, and you don't have to either. You can show up exactly as you are, refuel with a delicious meal, and let the world slow down for a moment. Some of the best conversations happen when you're snuggled into a booth, sipping endless coffee, and nurturing yourself with comforting soul food.
