Practical Support & Presence-Based Care.

I will support you.

Think of me as a helper + human companion—no pressure, no labels.
If you need a helping hand, a break, or someone to be with you, I’m here.
I offer down-to-earth, heart-led help in two ways:

Practical Support

Helpful Hand

Gentle, practical support for everyday needs.Think of this as having a calm, grounded companion to help with light tasks — whether it’s prepping food, organizing a corner of your home, sitting with you while you work through something hard, or brainstorming your next step. It’s presence + help, with no pressure to perform.

Request range: 1–3 hours.
Below are just examples of Helpful Hand Support. Request what you need if it's not listed here.

  1. Household Help: Folding laundry, dishes, light tidying, or resetting a room

  2. Body Double Buddy: We work side by side—company helps!

  3. Prep + Pause: Setting up cozy space: music, lighting, aromatherapy

  4. Creative Companion: Support with a project: arts, flowers, rearranging

Presence-Based Care

Soulful Support

Quiet, compassionate presence for emotional and energetic care.Sometimes we don’t need advice or fixing — just someone to be with us. Soulful Support offers a soft, caring presence for moments of grief, transition, stillness, or reconnection. Whether we sit in silence, take a quiet walk, or simply share space, this offering centers your nervous system and your pace.Important Note:
Soulful Support is not clinical therapy, medical treatment, or licensed/certified services. It’s intuitive care from one human to another — rooted in consent, presence and compassion.

Request range: 60–90 minutes. Below are just examples of Soulful Support. Request what you need if it's not listed here.

  1. Stillness Together: Sit in silence, breathe, simply exist

  2. Nervous System Support: Gentle, grounding and nurturing care practices to support nervous system ease

  3. Walking Companion: A unhurried, intentional walk — no need for conversation

  4. Gentle Witnessing: Be with you while you cry, sigh, shake, or just be

  5. Sacred Sit: We rest together with tea, music, or quiet

Optional Add-Ons:

As a mother of five (two younger), I truly value spaces that honor both real life and real needs. When possible, I appreciate opportunities that allow me to bring my toddler along—this won’t be a fit for every request, and that’s okay!
