Compassion knows no bounds!

I’m here to empower, to uplift, and to remind others that healing is possible.

ABOUT US —

I’m Sue — a healer, a lifelong learner, and a proud mother.

My journey began in a childhood marked by deep trauma and abuse, but I’ve spent my life transforming that pain into purpose. Becoming a nurse allowed me to care for others with compassion and understanding, and raising my children with unconditional love is, without a doubt, my greatest achievement.

Life has tested me — through homelessness, domestic violence, and countless challenges — but I’ve met each hurdle with what I would call, strength and grace.

I have spent much of my days committing to lifelong learning, weaving that knowledge into my healing practice to better serve those who walk beside me on their own path to wholeness.

Yoga, massage, and connection is one of my great passions. They ground me, soothe my soul, and helps me guide others toward inner peace. I also have a deep love for animals and advocate for their care and wellbeing — because I believe compassion should know no bounds. For this I bring my compassion as a death doula for pets through Silent Wings.

Everything I do is about giving back. I’m here to empower, to uplift, and to remind others that healing is possible. I believe, my life is a testament to resilience, love, and growth — and it’s my honour to help others reconnect with their own strength and spirit.

Counselling

Massage

Reiki

Meditation

Yoga

Counselling

I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to explore grief, stress, life transitions, or emotional healing. My counselling style is intuitive, person-centred, and guided by deep listening and empathy.

Massage Therapy

Whether you're seeking relaxation or relief from tension, my massage sessions combine physical care with energetic presence, leaving you feeling nurtured and restored.

Reiki & Energy Healing

Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive form of healing that balances energy, supports emotional release, and promotes deep calm. Each session is unique, tailored to your needs in the moment.

Meditation & Yoga

Through guided meditation and restorative yoga, I help clients reconnect with their breath, body, and inner stillness. My sessions are inclusive and accessible to all levels, with a focus on healing rather than performance.

Together, these practices offer a holistic path to wellbeing — whether you're navigating grief, seeking spiritual connection, or simply needing a pause from life’s busyness.

Silent Wings

I believe compassion should know no bounds, and as a healer, I offer my service as a death doula for those who are anticipating or living with the loss of a pet.

Comforting a dying pet can be a challenging but crucial aspect of their end-of-life care.
As a death doula I can provide emotional support, comfort and guidance to the pet and its owner, helping them navigate the difficult process of end-of-life care.

Silent Wings also provides practical assistance, including planning for the pet’s final days, arranging for euthanasia, or preparing for after-death care.

Support can also be offered by phone or video call.

Pet Death Doula & Memorial Services

Supporting Grief with Compassion, Ritual, and Healing

As a pet death doula, I offer holistic, heart-centered support for those navigating the loss of a beloved animal companion. With a background in nursing, counselling, massage, yoga, and Indigenous collaboration, I create personalised rituals and memorials that honour the unique bond between you and your pet.

Memorial Ceremonies

From simple candle-lighting to story-sharing gatherings, I guide owners through ceremonies that bring comfort, connection, and closure. These can include photos, keepsakes, or group reflections that honour your pet’s life in meaningful ways.

Burial & Cremation Rituals

Whether you choose home burial or cremation, I support you in creating a thoughtful farewell—through poetry, planting, or mindful practices like gratitude meditations or breathwork.

Indigenous-Inspired Rituals

Drawing on respectful collaboration with Indigenous communities, I offer smudging ceremonies, talking circles, and earth-based offerings that ground grief in spiritual connection and cultural depth.

Yoga, Massage & Breathwork

Grief is physical as well as emotional. I weave yoga, breathwork, and massage into ceremonies to help release tension and promote healing. A guided meditation or gentle yoga flow can honour your pet while soothing your heart.

Creative Rituals

From writing a farewell letter or painting a tribute to planting a memory garden, creative rituals help express and process grief in personal, lasting ways.

Rainbow Bridge Ceremony

Inspired by the beloved Rainbow Bridge story, I guide visualisations and create symbolic rituals that offer hope, peace, and the promise of reunion.

Ongoing Remembrance

Grief doesn’t end with goodbye. I help you honour anniversaries, create keepsakes, and find healing through service or advocacy—so your pet’s memory continues to live on in love and purpose.

Cultural & Personal Sensitivity

Every loss is different. I tailor all services with care for your emotional needs, background, and beliefs, ensuring a safe, comforting space to grieve and remember.
