Upon completion of my career as a Primary teacher I was forced to clean out old files, notes, books and items that no longer were needed.  The physical and psychological spaces that opened shifted my perception of how I brought myself to my new life.   I no longer defined who I was by the items I lived with, nor did I need them to feel that I had value in my community or myself.

In the process of letting go, I remembered how, as a child, I used to organize my mother’s kitchen including pots and pans, cutlery, dishes and spices.  I was also reminded of the friends I helped when moves were required from University and apartments.  I realized then that I had been attempting to create space and freedom for others my whole life…this gave me the idea to continue helping.  I created “It’s Just Stuff”.

It’s tricky to go through personal and professional growth without taking further study.  My background courses include Counselling and Coaching, all levels of Healing Touch as well as Touch for Health.  I have also been a student of Yoga for over 30 years, a Yoga teacher for 6, completing courses in Therapeutic Yoga.  These many courses allow me to help you deal with the psychological difficulty in “letting go”.
