We don't always to get to choose what happens to us...

Sometimes life brings about unexpected circumstances and heartbreak that can leave us feeling overwhelmed and unsettled. With the many demands of life, we might become unkind to ourselves, and struggle to return to caring for our most delicate needs.  For those who have ever felt unsure of themselves, felt the continuous loop of spiraling thoughts, or preoccupied with the many "what ifs" in life, I am happy you're here.

​

My philosophy at Gentle Reflections is to encourage all who enter this space to hold compassion for others, tenderness towards themselves, and to know that they are doing their best.  Though we don't always get to choose what happens to us, my hope is to be a thought partner in making meaning of life's hardships.

​

Whichever direction life has led you up to this point, I am happy our paths have crossed.
