About What now?

My focus has been on supporting psychological health and safety for employees and their employers.

So many of us are currently facing changes in our lives that we need to consider how to deal with this reality in a psychologically safe way.

You know the thought of watching or reading something and thinking, “easier said than done”? Me as well! This is why I dedicate myself to helping others uncover small daily habits and making the invisible more visible. Together we can build hope, energy, and methods – asking plenty of questions along the way. It’s okay to be a beginner again.
