My life has been a journey of healing and growing driven by impacts from my own personal suffering, suffering of those in my inner circle and the suffering across humanity. I have recognized there is a connectedness with suffering; one’s suffering ripples out to others more than we can imagine.  Ultimately, I was not willing to just accept stagnational suffering as way of life.  I have always had this drive to go after all suffering with curiosity, wanting to understand why we as humans hold onto our suffering for dear life. Why we will repeatedly go down the same unhealthy patterns that continually water the suffering seeds within us.  Examples are stagnational stress and/or anxiety all at the cost of our health, our inner peace and our happiness.  Affecting our ability to see and appreciate all we have to be grateful for each and every day.

At times I must admit I have wanted to “figure out” how to tune out suffering when I have become increasingly overwhelmed.  However, my directive to study the root of suffering to heal is so strong tuning out suffering was not an option for me.  So, I had to surrender to suffering and then ask some big questions; how can I explore suffering without suffering more, what am I meant to learn about suffering, how am I meant to support myself and humanity to heal through suffering, and lastly how as human beings can we change suffering in a way that it brings optimal wellness to the forefront.  I can say right now this is the spot where compassion became a foundational anchor to look at these questions.  Compassion is key when looking at healing, growing and learning through all suffering and in unison our connectedness to those in our inner circle and humanity.

I will now share a few reasons why I believe this initiative is so critical to share within a collective at this moment in time.

Suffering unfortunately has become an acceptable state of living.  It is everywhere and worse society now promotes it as a badge of honour.  Example: if we have one thing out of 10 that goes wrong in a day we can’t wait to share that one thing that went wrong before all that went well.  Suffering has become so normalized that most are unaware of the layers of suffering they endure, unknowingly hurting their wellness through their thoughts, words and actions.  I have seen so many not realize in simple conversations how they are watering suffering.  It’s during these times I have had to hold those individuals in compassion so not to get overwhelmed with sadness for them and the effects it has on humanity.  There is great power in the rippling effect with our thoughts, words and actions that organically water the seeds to wellness or the seeds to suffering.  Unfortunately, many do not realize how powerful their thoughts, words and actions are in daily living for themselves and the world around them and beyond.  That is why we have this medical stat that states 95% of all disease is stress related.  We are not designed to live life the way most of us are living.  My wish is that I can begin to grow a community that sows seeds of wellness into the world, guiding and supporting others to Become Sages of Compassion for themselves, their inner circle and all humanity.

In reflecting upon my lifetime directive to look at all suffering I now know the seeds of Becoming A Sage of Compassion started many years ago.  As compassion became my compass on how to thrive not just survive in life with suffering.  Learning how to live compassionately has been essential to support myself and others on the journey of healing, growing and learning.

Also unfortunately, over the last few years, I have seen and heard an increase of suffering within today’s society with many choosing to increase the seeds of suffering within themselves, their inner circle and with all humanity.  This increase in suffering created more dis-ease within self, greater division in society, less respect and fewer acceptances of differences.  Personally feeling, seeing and hearing so strongly this increase in acceptable choice driven suffering guided me down a path that created the Sage of Compassion initiative. Creating and building a collective where together individuals have the opportunity to gain personal insights on how to no longer knowingly or blindly water the seeds of suffering and begin to see their own directive to water the seeds of wellness for all.

I have hope that as a collective, we will heal, grow and learn through all suffering to water the seeds of wellness.  Achieving healing for ourselves and with all humanity during this period of transformation and change the universe has entered into.  The sole purpose of this period is to bring humanity into a deeper state of truth, consciousness and connection for global wellness.  No longer blindly reacting to life but responding to life in a way that brings healing and optimal health to all.

As I bring the Sage of Compassion initiative to offer support during this period we have entered into I ask for compassion and grace with my humanity as I continue to meet suffering head on with the universe as my guide.  As I begin to share what Becoming A Sage of Compassion means to me through whom I am as a human being and whom I am as a teacher.

I would now like to share with you what Becoming A Sage of Compassion means….

To Become A Sage of Compassion means an individual is 100% committed to heal, learn and grow so they can make conscious choices to water the seeds within them for their optimal wellness and in unison learn how to connect with those in their inner circle and all of humanity so not to create more dis-ease.

To do this means an individual is ready to investigate all suffering from a deeper standpoint to:

• Understand the many roles suffering plays in their lives and the lives of all humanity
• Understand their contribution to all suffering
• Make conscious choices to water seeds within themselves that supports their emotional, mental and physical wellness.

Sages of Compassion believe in the interconnectedness within all humanity and know the seeds they water as an individual will ripple outward to be either a contributor to the dis-ease or health of many.

Compassion is that key tool that will cradle suffering while they Become Sages of Compassion holding all they uncover with gentleness, grace and love, so not to create more suffering.  In unison it will hold them in this timeless space for them to uncover a new way to be that will support optimal emotional, mental and physical wellness for themselves, their inner circle and all humanity.

Feeling and seeing what has been presented to me in daily life and feeling the universal pull to act, to guide and to support is why this initiative was created.  Together we will create a community that waters the seeds to heal, grow and learn through all suffering, rippling into greater wellness for all.

I would now like to share with you whom are those people that are ready to Become A Sage of Compassion.

• It is for those who are ready to take full control and accountability for their wellness, their inner peace and their happiness.  
• Are ready to look at the role they play with the suffering of those in their inner circle and with humanity
• Are ready to become authentically raw with themselves, as they have developed enough awareness that they know the only person creating the life they are living presently is themselves.
• They are ready to no longer live their life through their past experiences but live life fully in the present optimally for themselves and the world at large.
• They undeniably know on the other side of their dis-ease (suffering) is that freedom they so crave.  They now know it is within their grasp to live a life free of stagnational dis-ease.
• They feel a strong pull to not settle…. live the life that is waiting for them on the other side, because they are now ready to shed whom they are now to become whom they are meant to be.
• They are so ready and excited to see the world anew for themselves, their inner circle and all of humanity from a place of healing, growth, learning and wellness.
• The heaviness that comes from carrying dis-ease is something they no longer accept and are 100% committed to shed.
• They are ready to look into their reality to release what no longer serves whom they want to be and create a reality that supports optimal living for themselves and all humanity.

Through my education, my own personal journey of healing I am that teacher to guide and support these individuals to Become Sages of Compassion.

It has truly been such an honour to have been a part of many already that have stepped into this space.  I can undeniably say guiding individuals to become the writer, director and creator of their own story to living the life in ways they always dreamed makes me feel so incredibly blessed that universe gave me this directive.  Having this knowing that beyond suffering there is a life that is beyond what one can imagine is what I hope others discover.

This journey is foundational in gentleness, love, compassion, ease, grace, tears of letting go, laughter and becoming. Watering seeds of wellness no longer supporting the strengthening the seeds of dis-ease (suffering).  It will organically be the superhighway to your wellness because you will be walking the path guided by your soul’s innate wisdom to reach your soul’s destiny, your freedom to optimally live the life you were designed for!  I call this, finding your Soulality™ 

May you be free of suffering
May you feel happiness each day
May you embody inner peace
May you see all you have to be grateful throughout your days
May you water the seeds of wellness through daily thoughts, words and actions
May you become all you were meant to be

As now is the time to build a world of greater happiness, unity, respect, compassion and peace, but to do so you need to have a strong root in
 compassion for self and all of humanity.

if you are ready to become authentic with yourself
if you are ready to discover a new way to interact with others
if you are ready to commit 100% to your wellness

I’m an Educational Kinesiologist, specializing in human development, and Certified Applied Mindfulness Specialist.  For the past 17 years, I’ve used my proprietary MK Method®  and NeuroMindfulness™ to help children reach their fullest potential and adults break free from endless stress to achieve emotional freedom.

My MK Method® and NeuroMindfulness™, based on human development and mindfulness, shows people how to stop reacting from the database of past patterns in the brain that’s causing them to repeat the same behaviors, make the same choices, get the same outcomes — basically stay stuck. 

Instead, I teach them how to listen to and respond from their body and heart’s wisdom, allowing them to release the past and act intentionally in the present moment. This work allows them to live happy, dynamic, and free lives — the way we’re designed to.

I hold certifications in Educational and Developmental Kinesiology (BI) and Applied Specialization in Mindfulness (University of Toronto Faculty of Social Work).
