Helping to build the foundation for a happier, healthier you

As two people juggling personal (i.e. children, partner and social relationships) and professional commitments, we relate to the challenges that come with balancing home life, work life and unforeseen life events.


Over the course of our lives, each one of us will need supportive services from time to time. We encourage you to prioritize your self-care and invest in your wellness.


Using a non-judgemental and person-centered approach to counselling, we will help you build the foundation for a happier, healthier you.


Choose to put yourself first and make you a priority. It's not selfish, it's necessary.


- Kesha Jade
