Annin, Hey there!, bonjour

Ms patrilineal familial relations are Annishanbe from Walpole Island First Nations, and their matrilineal relations are Settler (Irish-English) Newfie from Newfoundland and Labrador. My spirit name means "merger between both worlds," and I am turtle clan.

I embrace wholistic teachings and ways of being, knowing and doing my work. I have worked in community and with youth since I was a young teen. I have worked in sexual violence awareness, advocacy and support for over 12 years. I walk a path which aligns with anti-racist, anti-ableist, anti-sanist, anti-colonial, and anti-oppressive ways of being. For me, the therapeutic relationship is a team effort to help humans gain wholistic healing, self reflection, empowerment, confidence and care. This therapeutic relationship in the past has been very individualistic, and I see the beauty in collective healing being an asset which is often undervalued.

My vision is to support kin in their path of trauma, resiliency, healing and belonging. I will do this by supporting the multi-faceted journey of wholeness. Through offering individual counselling, group supports, workshops, toolkits, and other opportunities to support self-reflection, growth and healing.

We heal the most when we know we belong

Humans are so beautiful, and we all experience life differently. A life long motto I have held dear to my heart is “do everything in love.” There are so many stressors and struggles in our world today, one of the most valuable tools we have for healing is our relations: with ourselves, each other, creation and the world around us. When we foster these relations in care we are able to see transformative change, leading towards growth and health.

Collective Care and wellbeing

I believe it is through collective care and solidarity we can see transformation in our communities. This includes entering solidarity relations with other BIPOC, Queer, and Two-Spirit Kin, people who live with mental health and/or disabilities, and those who are often stigmatized or "othered" in our communities. 

individual paths of wholeness and self reflection

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
