The bamboo that bends is stronger than the oak that resists.

At Blue Butterfly Bamboo, I believe in the profound power of transformation, resilience, and healing. The name reflects the objective: the blue butterfly, a universal symbol of rebirth and hope, represents the beauty of personal growth and the courage to embrace change. The bamboo, known for its strength and flexibility, embodies resilience—the ability to bend without breaking and rise stronger after life’s storms.
​
As a trauma-informed counsellor and coach, I am deeply committed to helping individuals heal from within by addressing the root causes of their struggles, understanding how past experiences and trauma can shape our nervous system, influencing how we feel, think, and respond to the world.
By integrating my knowledge of the nervous system into my practice, I help clients reconnect with their bodies, regulate emotions, and create a sense of safety that is essential for true healing.
At Blue Butterfly Bamboo, my mission is to provide a safe space where healing begins. Together, we’ll work to calm your nervous system, foster self-awareness, and unlock your inner strength so you can thrive in all areas of life.
Let’s embark on this journey of transformation—where you can heal deeply, grow authentically, and spread your wings with confidence.
