Message from Chantal
Hello and welcome,
Nearly half of the children population in the U.S. has experienced at least one Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE). The ACE study was a ground breaking epidemiological study done by the Kaiser Permanente foundation who surveyed 17,000 adults over a period of twenty years. This one of a kind study established the correlation between childhood trauma and the onset of adult chronic diseases, mental illness, violence and being the victim of violence later in life.
Trauma has a deep impact on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels yet it is possible to be resilient, recover and have a fulfilling life.
As an adult who has had a score of 9/10 on the ACE score, I am here to tell you that it is not only possible to heal but, with support and knowledge, to thrive. I do not claim to be an expert on trauma. There are a lot of great research and authors on this topic and my intent is to share with you what I have learned throughout my personal journey and my career as a therapist, coach and business owner.

It is my belief that healing is a soul’s journey, one that we walk at our own pace following a path led by our heart’s wisdom.
This website is designed to offer resources, tools and processes along with information that might help you deal with the effect of ACE.
It is my deep wish for you to connect to who you are and remember that you are not your past nor the results of what has happened to you, you are a soul embodied, on a journey towards recovery and wholeness.
Might you find healing, aliveness, passion, embodied power, connection to your heart’s wisdom, express yourself freely, be led by your inner vision and live at peace within yourself.

Healing, Purpose, Leadership and Entrepreneurship
When we choose to undertake a personal healing journey, we choose to walk an individual path. Our personal story is unique yet the power of resilience and the ability to overcome challenges is collective. Your life, its pain, its challenges and victories has made you who you are. It is my belief that when you choose to heal yourself you help heal the world around you.
It also has been my experience that through our healing process we uncover how to help others. It is part of our mission on this planet, at this point in time, to bridge the gap between individual and collective healing.
Some of us choose to become entrepreneurs. The path towards entrepreneurship is challenging for everyone, yet the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences add another set of challenges.
My goal is to highlight those challenges, provide tools and processes to overcome them in addition to providing guidance on life purpose, business start-up and growth that includes personal development.
Present, Passionate, Empowered Clients
“Since working with Chantal I have moved from living my life from my intellect to resting in my heart center. I am celebrating each day! I am pursuing a dream of study in authentic dance, I received a raise from my full time job and my voice is now being heard and driving change in the organization, and my relationship with my husband has blossomed once again as we approach our 22nd wedding anniversary!”
“The biggest challenge I had to overcome, both while I was working with Chantal, and generally in my life, has always been my fear of criticism and exposure, and, of course, the traps that my own ‘inner critic’, or ‘victimizer’ would set up for me. Chantal’s help with that was invaluable.”
In working with Chantal, I have been able to find a way to work fewer hours while still maintaining a financially strong practice, which allowed for more time for my well-being (exercise, prayer/meditation) so that I can feel energized and empowered, rather than depleted.
