Speaking and Events

Overview

Since the loss of my son Cooper, I’ve discovered the power of sharing our stories—not only to honour those we love, but to connect with others walking similar paths.Through writing and speaking, I’ve had the privilege of connecting with individuals, families, and communities navigating grief, healing, and remembrance. Whether in intimate settings or larger gatherings, I speak from a place of lived experience, vulnerability, and hope.

​

My goal is simple: to help others feel less alone in their loss, and to offer gentle encouragement that healing—though never linear—is possible.​

​

What to Expect

​I speak with honesty, warmth, and a deep respect for each individual’s grief journey. Every event is tailored to the audience, with time for conversation, Q&A, or reflective exercises where appropriate.

 

I am available for both in-person and online events, and happy to collaborate on what would best serve your group or community.
