I'm an ex-marketer, writer, and new-again student on the slow, winding, possibly, potentially, maybe one day pursuit of becoming a counsellor.

I started that journey at Rhodes Wellness College, where I earned a Coaching Certificate and a Certificate in Counselling. It was a genuinely transformative program, and it made me hungry for more. So I kept going. I'm now finishing my second year of a psychology degree because I needed to go deeper, and I don't think I'll stop there.

I created The Unbound Path because people kept telling me that what I was doing to survive grief was worth sharing, and eventually I believed them enough to start.

What was I doing exactly? Boxing. Muay Thai. Stopping mid-session to journal. Applying what I was learning in coaching and counselling to my actual life. Naming things to tame them. Taking improv classes. Writing jokes. Forcing myself into rooms I didn't want to be in but knew would be good for me. Processing grief through movement, creativity, and honestly, a lot of humor.

I had access to trainers, coaches, and classes that not everyone can afford or find. That privilege isn't lost on me. It's actually a big reason I built this space — because the tools that helped me shouldn't only be available to people who can pay for a full roster of classes. So I'm sharing what I've learned, as openly and accessibly as I can.

I lost both of my parents in my early thirties. For a long time I was determined not to be someone monumentally affected by that. I kept moving, kept working, kept putting on my mask and pretending to be fine. Until I couldn't anymore.

So I found another way to move through the feels, one that actually worked.

Now I'm studying psychology because I needed to understand more deeply why any of this helped. And I built this space because I don't think I'm the only one who needed something a little unconventional.

If that sounds like you, you're in the right place.

(I do most of my best thinking with my dog Bruno nearby. He's an excellent listener and has never once given bad advice!)

I hold a Coaching Certificate and a Certificate in Counselling from Rhodes Wellness College and am currently completing a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. I am not a licensed counsellor or therapist and do not offer clinical mental health services.
