About me

I was born and raised in the prairie province of Manitoba, the seventh of nine children. My earliest memories are simple ones: playing with kittens in the hayshed, listening to my brothers’ LPs, and making dollhouses out of boxes.

Life eventually carried me from the farm to the “big city” to study agriculture, then to the United States to pursue speech pathology, and back again to Manitoba, where I completed an interdisciplinary PhD spanning psychology, education, linguistics, and nursing. I am also certified in functional medicine.

Although raised Catholic, the busyness of raising a family pulled me away from regular Mass. I still called myself Catholic, but I was not truly practicing the faith. Only in the last two years have I found my way back home.

At the same time, my work as a psychotherapist started to lose its appeal. The profession was becoming increasingly influenced by a woke culture, and many psychological approaches were focusing on introspection, emphasizing a high level of self-regard and unending exploration of ‘self’.

Today, my work is guiding others toward order, discipline, commitment, and fortifying their faith. I have a special devotion to two saints, St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein) for her pursuit of truth, and St. Paul the Apostle for his courage in standing up for the faith.
