My work is guided by compassion, curiosity, and respect for the fullness of who you are. I honour each individual’s lived experience and identities through a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and evidence-informed approach. I believe that safety, choice, and autonomy create space for healing, connection, and pleasure.
Meet Sheila
I'm so glad you're here.
I believe that sexual wellbeing is inseparable from who we are, body, mind, and spirit. My approach is grounded in compassion, curiosity and an understanding of how our experiences, relationships and identities shape our relationship with sexuality.
A particular focus of my work is supporting women navigating the impact of sexual trauma on their relationship with intimacy, pleasure, and their bodies. Healing in other areas of life doesn't always mean intimacy feels easy again. You may still find yourself disconnecting, struggling to express what you need, or feeling unsure how to approach pleasure. You deserve space to explore these experiences without pressure or judgment.
Whether you're reconnecting with your sexuality after trauma, navigating sexual pain or differences in desire, or seeking greater ease and confidence in your intimate life, I offer a collaborative, affirming space to explore what sexual wellness means to you. Together, we can explore your relationship with pleasure and intimacy at a pace that feels right for you.
Lessons From My Work
Sexual wellness is a part of overall wellbeing.
Our relationship with sexuality can be shaped by our experiences, relationships, and sense of safety. Sexual wellness deserves attention and care as part of our broader wellbeing, not just when something feels wrong.
Your sexuality deserves room for authentic expression.
There's no single right way to experience sexuality, intimacy, or desire. Understanding your needs, communicating your boundaries, and exploring what feels right for you can help you build a more authentic relationship with yourself and others.
Pleasure can be explored at your own pace.
Reconnecting with pleasure doesn't have to begin with sex. It might start with noticing what feels comforting, enjoyable, or grounding in everyday life. You deserve the freedom to explore what feels good to you, without pressure or expectations.
Our Services
Reconnect with your body, explore your needs, and cultivate a more comfortable relationship with intimacy and pleasure. With a particular focus on sexual wellness after trauma.
All counselling begins with a free 15-minute consultation. It's an opportunity to briefly discuss what you're looking for, ask questions, and decide whether working together feels like a good fit. If we choose to work together, sessions will take place by secure video, so you can join from wherever feels private and comfortable for you. I'm based in Ontario, Canada, and work with adults around the world.
You don't need to have everything figured out before we speak. We'll talk about what brings you here, what you're hoping for, and any questions you have about the process. There's no pressure to commit to ongoing counselling.
Please note - I am not able to provide in-the-moment crisis support services and I may not see messages right away. If you need support right away you can call 9-8-8 anywhere in Canada, or find help where you live at findahelpline.com.
