About your practitioner

 Greetings!

My name is Makai, I am a philosopher, artist and healing practitioner. I believe that to be embodied is to exist in awareness and acceptance of oneself. I am on my own journey of self-acceptance and self-actualization and believe that it is a continual process. I hold the gift of capacity to navigate the depths of the human experience with curiosity and humility. I extend this capacity to the collective, through the various work I create and offer. I have spent the last decade providing peer support, group facilitation, coordinating projects, creating community spaces and providing therapeutic support to a diverse range of people.

I have been a coach and guide for many, in both community and institutional settings. I am certified in peer support through Peer Support Canada and a therapist completing practicum at TIRP. I approach all of my work from an authentic, compassionate and intentional place, reflective of my own lived experiences and informed contextual lens on the world. I have experience living with and holding space for mental health challenges, substance use, isolation, suicidal ideation, intergenerational trauma and identity. I would be honoured to both support and witness the journey of anyone wishing to access the services I provide.
