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 work in English and French.

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.
Attuned to colors and textures
What the shades and textures we’re drawn to say about our emotional state Did you ever notice that your taste in colors changes over the years? If so, did you notice that those changes actually match your emotional state, your energy, your needs? I do and I find it fascinating. A few years ago I…
Taking a Self-Care Day Off When You’re Self-Employed
Because sometimes the most productive thing you can do is nothing Last week was another one of those difficult weeks. A lot of emotions. A lot of tears. Wednesday evening, I went to my women circle (WomanWithin) as usual. I brought something personal that needed to come out, and it did: I cried for almost…
A teen learning mindfulness was listening…
… even if she didn’t look like it In case you don’t know, on top of being a counsellor, I’ve also been teaching mindfulness programs to children 5–11 years old and youth 12–18 for the past six years. Here is one of the most unexpected testimonials I’ve ever received: In plain text: “Hi Laure, one…
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…
