Mental Performance Psychology

CONSULTING INFORMATION SHEET Thank you for taking the first step in achieving your goal. I have listed important information that will guide us for the duration of our consulting sessions. Please keep this information sheet with you for your reference. You are welcome to clarify any information at any given point. I look forward to our work together. My Consulting Philosophy I have recently completed my training as a mental performance consultant and have earned my Masters in Human Kinetics Intervention and Consultation at the University of Ottawa. During my education, I have built my consulting philosophy based on my life experiences and counselling theories that resonate strongly with values. I believe in empowerment through acceptance, learning and having a solution-focused philosophy that is based on kindness, self-compassion, authenticity and confidence. We will be partners sharing equal responsibility as I act as a collaborator for your growth to your best self.

Psychological safety and Peer Support

I am a CMHA certified Psychological Safety Advisor and a NoStigmas trained Peer Supporter who offers both support and workplace psychological assessment sessions. My goal is to provide 1 to 1 support in a comfortable environment where we cast aside titles and positions of authority and just chat about getting you onto the road to recovery. Peer support is defined as "emotional and practical support between two people who share a common experience, such as a mental health challenge or illness. A Peer Supporter has lived through that similar experience, and is trained to support others." I am an expert in finding people no to low-cost resources and finding you the professional help you need when you're ready for it. I am currently on the path to wellness through facing PTSD, addictions, and anxiety. I am comfortable sharing my story or just listening to yours. My motto is, "we don't have to be close, to feel close."

anxiety

Maggie knows suffering and this practitioner has overcome, more than most! As a young woman she suffered childhood abuse, anxiety, depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder. She also became an alcoholic for several decades. While working in a moldy building, she became bedridden for over 3 years being diagnosed with chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia and multiple chemical sensitivities. A few years later, she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. She has overcome all of these health issues--without any prescription medications. Then tragedy struck again. Her only beloved son, Adam--just 27 years young--died by suicide. He had been struggling with mental health issues for decades, but refused anything but prescription drugs. Maggie's goal is to help anyone struggling with anxiety, depression or other mental health issues --to get off the roller coaster ride and break the cycle permanently--all without medications! Maggie provides her clients with the best-kept tools and resources to conquer mental health problems, increase vitality and boost mental performance, once and for all. Maggie has been working in the health industry for 20+ years. She works with employees, business professionals, entrepreneurs, parents, first responders and veterans. She has also consulted both the Department of National Defence and Health Canada. She loves reading and going for walks with her dog, Maxx. For more information: www.naturallyyou.info
