In this section, you’ll find resources to support you between and beyond our sessions — gentle tools to help you steady, reflect, and stay connected to your growth.



GUIDEBOOKS
Resources for calm and clarity.
What To Do Between Sessions
Simple ways to support yourself 
 
Sometimes the real work happens in the quiet moments between sessions, when insights start to land and information becomes integration. 
This guide offers gentle ways to stay connected without adding to your to-do list.

✔ Reflect with short prompts to notice what’s shifting day to day
âś” Try grounding or creative practices to bring calm and clarity
âś” Note thoughts, patterns, or dreams to explore next time we meet

(No gold stars required — just kindness, curiosity, and space to breathe.)


Steady Your Nervous System
An introduction to the Polyvagal Theory
 
When the world (or your thoughts) feel like too much, this guide offers simple, evidence-based tools to bring your body back to safety. Learn to spot your state, reset with grounding and breathwork, and build habits that help you steady faster — no forcing, just small shifts that make a big difference.

âś” Spot your state — wired, wiped, or steady—and what flips the switch
âś” Reset fast — one quick calm-down + the Anchor Exercise to get back to “safe + social”
âś” Stack the good stuff — feel-good activators, 10 quick body “snacks,” and two-line prompts to move emotions through

The Emotion Wheel
Exploring our emotional landscape.




The Emotion Wheel
Identifying our emotions
 
 
Most of us were not taught an emotional language growing up, in fact, most adults can only identify 3 emotions - mad, sad, or glad. 

So, as we begin to expand our emotional vocabulary through this work, please refer to this emotion wheel and try to dive a bit deeper into those undercurrents of your heart. It will help you to move through them more easily going forward. 

I also wanted to share the 'How We Feel' app created by scientists, designers, engineers, and psychologists at Yale University. It helps you to build your emotional vocabulary and your emotional regulation muscles by providing you with simple strategies you can practice in the moment. 

As well, you may want to check out (if you haven't already) BrenĂ©'s podcast episode with Dr. Marc Brackett, the creator of this app, inspired by his book entitled 'Permission To Feel'.  






Building Trust: Video + Worksheet
Because Trust Changes Everything.
Trust & BRAVING
A bonus resource from Brené Brown
 
This is a personal favourite from my Brené Brown certification, and it’s a pillar in all of my coaching work. Trust — especially self-trust — is one of the foundations of healing. When we can lean on ourselves with compassion, it changes how we navigate everything else.

Here’s a video from Brené Brown’s SuperSoul Sunday talk (about 20 minutes). It’s a wonderful introduction to her BRAVING framework for trust.


As you explore, use the BRAVING acronym to reflect on building self-trust. It’s not required for our sessions — just an extra support if you want to dig a little deeper on your own time.

And if you’d like more from BrenĂ©, here’s her classic TED Talk on The Power of Vulnerability:
