Self-Compassion in Action
Emily and Heather are Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) Certified Teachers who have teamed up to offer courses and workshops. We initially met through a deepening course in self-compassion, and have since developed a meaningful and supportive partnership through our work together. We are grounded in our shared intentions, values and vision and if you’re interested, we would love to connect more with you.
