Nurturing Our Wellbeing

We partner with values-aligned organizations to integrate embodied practices and systems-informed leadership reflection, cultivating cultures where caregivers and the teams around them can thrive.

“There was always a takeaway that people could apply to help manage whatever their concerns were…”
– Tanya Hickey | Senior Manager, Health & Safety Ontario Power Generation
“Angelique quickly established herself as an expert, which – in a room full or professionals who can be cynical – is critical. Her style was a perfect combination of handholding, without being overbearing, when participants struggled with concepts. She is able to adapt quickly to the knowledge level of the room, not dwelling on concepts we understood and taking the time to explain (repeatedly when necessary) concepts that weren’t as obvious.”
– Todd Humber | Publisher/Editor-in-Chief, Thomson Reuters
“I was the main contact person with Angelique and had requests to customize the workshop to our organization and she fulfilled all the requests flawlessly. I strongly recommend Angelique if your company/organization is looking to give employees the tools to become more resilient and aware of changes in their own mental health…”
– Esther Ariri | Business Service Coordinator, Access Independent Living Services

I have nothing, but positive words to describe Angelique. She is very professional and has a calming way of offering education and wellness strategies to groups. When she offered her services to our pharmacy team she created a safe space for us to gain more insight into our emotional health and empowered us to try new mindfulness strategies. The resources she provided was relevant and practical for our team to utilize between sessions and/or once our sessions with her were completed.

Angelique delivered five lunch and learn webinars over several weeks. Her presentations were very informative and real. There was always a takeaway that people could apply to help manage whatever their concerns were. From tapping, to yoga, mindfulness and healthy eating, there were always great tips. We had a very favourable number of participants each time and the feedback was always positive. In fact, we added to our webinar series based on the great feedback that we received. Angelique was an engaging speaker with a wealth of knowledge. We look forward to having her again in the future.

We had the honour of having Angelique coach us through an Emotional Wellbeing session for Black History Month event. Angelique understood the audience, and connected with them through an Afrocentric lens as she delivered a comprehensive session, providing evidence-based approach, and hands-on interactive breathwork and EFT tapping activity. The attendees, who are mainly corporate black professionals, found the session incredibly engaging and beneficial, and took with them key skills that they’re able to use in their day-to-day life.​ I cannot recommend Angelique enough, her kindness, flexibility, and professionalism before, during, and after the session made it tremendously easy to work with her. Thank you for all your efforts Angelique and I look forward to having you for future sessions!

I had the pleasure of participating in Angelique’s Work Life Balance Workshop, delivered as part of the 3-day Youth Outreach Workers Provincial Conference. It had a great mix of both theory and practice. I especially enjoyed the guided portion of the workshop and definitely will be incorporating some of the strategies learned in the workshop. Angelique has a relaxed and informal style encouraging participation. I would recommend her services to other organizations looking to enhance employee wellness.

I had the pleasure of being a participant in one of Angelique’s talks. This talk was on the importance of self-care and how it relates to our professional and personal happiness. Despite the fact that it was a large audience, Angelique achieved taking me on a journey. I felt as if she was speaking to me and it was inspiring, engaging and packed with tips of how to improve my life. I would go to another one of her talks again without any hesitation.

I had the pleasure to hear Angelique speak. Her presentation was impactful, moving and extremely valuable. The way she weaved in her nursing knowledge regarding emotional mindfulness strategies created a great learning experience. She has a knack for engaging with the audience despite the large number of people she is speaking to. I found Angelique very relatable as she shared her story and perspective. I not only learned something, I felt that I got to know her too. Keep sharing your wellness knowledge Angelique!

I had the pleasure of working with Angelique for many years and saw the positive results of her work first hand. She was a dedicated therapist, who worked very effectively with her clients to help them manage their stress, regulate their emotions and improve their sleep, with non-medication relaxation therapies.
