This is where your healing journey finds its path
Take a breath. Drop your shoulders. Unclench your jaw.
You’ve been carrying a lot — anxiety that keeps you spinning, exhaustion from being strong for everyone, ache that something deeper is just out of your grasp.
These feelings, this experience, is common. It means you’re alive.
What I want you to know is that you are not broken. You don’t need fixing. What you need is a safe space to lay it all out, reconnect with yourself and remember that you hold the wisdom to heal.
At Roadside Therapies, I offer space where your spiritual and emotional selves can connect, where therapy is as much about your soul as your journey.
Take another breath. You’re in the right place.
My Journey to This Work
Hi, Sunshine
I didn’t just study healing work; I lived it.
In 2017, after years of going through the motions and navigating through life’s unending demands, I hit a wall — what I now call my Awakening. I moved to a remote community far from home for a job and was disconnected from family and familiar ground. Surrounded by silence, grief and harsh realities, I found myself coming apart.
In that unravelling, I felt something deeper: a call to slow down, to listen and to heal. I began journaling, speaking with the Spirit and acknowledging the synchronicities that showed up along the way. Those practices, those intentional moments, became my lifeline — and eventually, my purpose.
I launched Roadside Therapies as a space for others to experience that same kind of healing:
grounded in therapeutic care, infused with spiritual wisdom and rooted in the belief that you are already whole.
Coming from a long line of healers, I have been inspired by generations who nurtured their communities through compassion, tradition, and a holistic view of wellness. My maternal grandmother believed in the power of food and conversation to create healing spaces. My paternal great-grandmother and grandmother dedicated their lives as doulas, bringing comfort and care to families throughout their communities. And my father and paternal grandfather passed down traditional knowledge of herbs and natural remedies, a legacy of wisdom sourced directly from nature. I carry their spirit in this work — not as a burden to uphold, but as a blessing to honour, weaving their wisdom into every session as I walk beside you on your own path home.
