I built this because it is what my heart needed.

I was a bit of a lone wolf for many years—someone who often felt uncomfortable in social situations. I was easily drained by being in community because I worked so hard to fit in and to please, rather than simply showing up as myself. I leaned on alcohol as a social lubricant, a way to offset my anxiety. These weren’t always conscious choices; they were patterns I had developed over time.

The truth is, my anxiety was never really about being with others. It was about being disconnected from myself and my own heart. It was the distance between who I was on the inside and who I felt I needed to be on the outside. Carrying that disconnect grew heavier and more isolating over time.

During the pandemic—amid isolation, grief and loss, fear-based narratives around health, and the growing divide within communities and nations—I felt completely and utterly alone. And yet, in hindsight, there was a silver lining. I was given time and space to turn inward, to connect with myself in a more loving, curious, compassionate, aligned, and consistent way. That connection saved me during one of the darkest seasons of my life.

I am an introvert at heart. And still, connection, community, and belonging are essential pillars of health and wellness.

I built Cedar and Sage because it is what my heart needed. It is a space where people are invited to come together to slow down, to pause, to reflect. To gather wisdom, to share, to care, to hold space. To heal, to nourish, and above all else, to connect.

To connect more deeply with ourselves and our lives.
To connect more deeply with our hearts and inner wisdom.
To connect more deeply with one another.
To honour the sacredness of time shared and warmth exchanged.

I built this because it carried me through a difficult season of my life—and because your heart might need this too.

Let’s connect. xo
