The world is… a lot right now.

And sometimes talking helps.
Sometimes it doesn’t.

Starting in May, I’ll be offering in-person sessions in a new space above the Cameron House - a big, open room where therapy can be more than just sitting across from each other.

We can talk.
We can move.
We can get mad about it.
We can slow things down and listen to what your body’s been holding.

Reach out if this feels like something you need.
🖤

When the world feels upside down, sometimes you just have to play along… 🎸✨

Unlearning old patterns, finding new ways forward, and remembering—we have to take care of each other. 💛 Take Care is out now. Listen, reflect, and hold space for someone today. 🎶 #TakeCare #ChorusOfCourage #Unlearn #WeGotYou

This world can try, but it can't steal your light! A beautiful song written by @alyshabrilla to celebrate the strength of Jaene, and to remind us all of our inner light ✨✨✨

Grateful beyond words for all who made Chorus of Courage at the @nac.cna possible.

Here are some behind the scenes captures by @jensquiresphotographer 💜

In rehearsals, and through every moment of connection, we found strength, support, and love. Together, we honoured survivors of violence, shared stories through music, and created a powerful conversation that resonates with resilience and hope.

Thank you for joining us on this journey of courage and compassion. 🎶💜

A huge thank you to @canada.council for making this project possible! 🙏

Finding mental balance can be a tireless pursuit; and it can feel exhausting. When you take a moment to recharge, ensure that you are honouring yourself through your journey, in whatever way feels good for you - there are no rules!

For anyone looking for support, know that I'd be honoured to walk alongside of you 🌸

✨ Exciting news to share! ✨ I am still in awe and trying to process all that has happened, but I really wanted to share this moment... our Chorus of Courage album is done!!

🎶 Chorus of Courage 🎶 has been a passion project close to my heart for the past few years, and this week, we wrapped up our second recording session with our allies!! 🎙️🎵 I am beyond honoured to have worked alongside our incredible allies at the @thebathousekingston - @cheecheelia , @juliantaylormusic , @grgritt , @moonfruitsmusic , and @thebarrbrothers - you are all amazing ✨🙌✨!

This project is truly something special, with a few moving parts like a retreat, embodied practices, conversations/a call and response through song, and each part has incredible depth of courage, love, and meaning. 🌟 The album we have created is a testament to the powerful journey and process we have all committed to, and I cannot wait to share it with all of you! 🎶

A huge thank you for @sarahmacdougallmusic for her beautiful guidance and amazing production - you created an amazing musical landscape that captures the depth of the stories these songs hold!

The album also includes @alyshabrilla @joninehrita @marcia_chum_gibbons @mirror_mirroir and myself.

Walking alongside our storytellers and all the talented individuals involved in this project has been a privilege beyond words. The bravery, vulnerability, and strength that each person has brought to Chorus of Courage is truly mind-blowing. I am forever grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this incredible venture. 🙏🌈
