You’ve been trying to heal for a long time, or you just started.
You don’t have to do it alone.
Maybe you’ve read the books, done some work on yourself, and still something feels stuck, or you’re at the beginning of your healing journey. You’re not broken. Healing takes time.
“I won’t promise it’s easy. But I will tell you it’s possible, because I’ve lived it myself.” ~ me
Come back to your
whole self
Healing isn’t about becoming a different person. It’s about learning to be with yourself, all of yourself, without falling apart or shutting down. Here’s how we get there.
~ 1 ~
Self-Regulation
Learning to feel safe in your own body again, so life’s ups and downs don’t sweep you away.
~ 2 ~
Self-Awareness
Getting to know how you actually work, your patterns, your triggers, your truth, without the filters.
~ 3 ~
Self-Worth
Building a sense of value that lives inside you, not something the world can give or take away.
“If you want to improve the world, start by making people feel safer.” ~ Stephen Porges, PhD
Hi, I’m Laure
I’ve been where you are
I know what it’s like to have done the work, the books, the therapy, the inner searching, and still feel like something’s missing. I’ve been through my own healing from trauma, and I’ve found my way to a place that feels steadier. Not perfect. Just real.
I still get triggered. I’m still human. That’s exactly why I do this work.
I bring mindfulness, self-compassion, and somatic awareness into our sessions, and I bring myself. If you need to cry, cry. This is a safe place for all of it.
I’m a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor Candidate (RTCc) with ACCT.

I Write About
the messy middle
Not the highlight reel. The real stuff: the setbacks, the breakthroughs, the ordinary Tuesday when everything felt hard. Because healing isn’t linear, and you deserve to see that.
I Thought One Day I’d Be Perfect
But I’m Just Human ⚠️ Note before you read: this article touches on trauma, C-PTSD, and the painful process of accepting our human limitations. If you’re in a vulnerable place right now, read with care and be gentle with yourself. If you’re having thoughts of self-harm or harming others, please reach out to a crisis line….
Celebrating… Not Really
When something you waited for finally arrives, and the joy doesn’t. If you read my last article, you’ll know that I finally became an RTCc, short for Registered Therapeutic Counsellor candidate. Yes! At last! A designation that’s tangible: my clients can now get reimbursed by their extended health insurance, if they have one (which isn’t everybody,…
Not Knowing Is Worse Than Knowing
What waiting without knowing does to your body and mind Have you ever had to wait for something important? A visa, a job offer, a grade, an approval, a diagnosis, a registration? If you’re human, most likely yes. And if you’re not waiting for something right now, try to remember what it felt like. How…
Sorority
What happens when French-speaking women gather in the woods for a weekend. I’ll be honest, I was a little worried going in. Last year I felt quite anxious at the Congress, and I wasn’t sure if it would happen again. I’m happy to say it
Money Trauma Is Real… Pennies Are Scary
I rarely write about money. It’s a real big trauma of mine, and I just don’t know how to write about it without looking like I’m a victim or a failure. In the end, I was always able to pay my bills, I only had a small debt once in my life, and I now…
The Sanitation Worker Made Me Cry. In a good way.
This morning, I got my garbage and recycling ready, and 30 minutes later realized I had forgotten to add some paper. I quickly put it in a bag and went outside, just
