As we step into 2025, I’m taking a moment to reflect on the journey that was 2024. It was a year filled with personal and professional growth, opportunities, and meaningful experiences that deepened my passion for counselling, career counselling, and personal development.
One highlight was being featured on This Hour Has 22 Minutes, where I appeared in a comedic sketch as a career counsellor. It was such a fun and unique opportunity to showcase the importance of career counselling in a creative way.
Professionally, I presented research at Harvard Divinity School in April, exploring the history of Tarot, its power as a feminist act of resistance and its ties to Romani culture. This topic speaks to the intersection of intuition, decolonization, and self-discovery—core themes in my counselling practice.
Traveling also played a big role in my year. I worked remotely in Spain, enjoying tapas and conducting qualitative research on the Gitano Romani people for my paper on Tarot. I also visited southern Portugal, connecting with old and new friends while bonding with some family members.
A new accomplishment I’m proud of was earning my Wilderness First Aid certification through the Red Cross. This training equipped me to provide safety and care in outdoor settings, enhancing my ability to support clients in nature-based education and workshops.
Additionally, I explored learning about microdosing as a therapeutic tool through a workshop series facilitated by Holos clinic and Wild Art Therapy Collective. The micro-learning experience offered profound insights into some of its emotional, physical, and psychospiritual benefits (note: I am not certified or trained in psychedelic-assisted therapy).
2024 also marked my 40th birthday—a milestone that filled me with gratitude for the wisdom and experiences I’ve gained.
Looking ahead to 2025, I’m excited to continue supporting clients in their journeys.
