“AND THE DAY CAME WHEN THE RISK TO REMAIN TIGHT IN THE BUD WAS MORE PAINFUL THAN THE RISK IT TOOK TO BLOOM.”
— ANAIS NIN
For many survivors, the weight of shame and silence can lead to years of isolation, confusion, or self-blame.
It can be hard to reach out, especially if what happened feels too complex or difficult to name.
You are not alone. And you don’t have to do this alone.
This 9-week online group program offers a safe, compassionate, and structured space where women can begin to heal – in connection with others who truly understand.
Grounded in trauma-informed care, we gently explore what it means to feel safe again, build emotional resilience, and reconnect with your sense of self.
We believe that healing happens in relationship – not in isolation.
Through shared stories, mutual support, and a guided process, this group supports women in moving from surviving to reclaiming inner safety, self-trust, and a deeper sense of wholeness.
The program is divided into three levels, each building on the last – but always with the freedom to move at your own pace. Every session takes place online, allowing you to join from the comfort and privacy of your own space.
It’s a small, intimate group, exclusively for women.
This group is facilitated by a trauma-informed counsellor who is also a survivor.
Having walked this path myself, I understand the complexity of healing from incest trauma – and how powerful it is to do so in the presence of others who truly get it.
I am a registered wellness and therapeutic professional counsellor and an incest survivor. With both professional expertise and lived experience, I provide a compassionate, trauma-informed approach to healing.
I understand the challenges of this journey and am dedicated to fostering a space of safety, empowerment, and connection.
If you’re unsure, you’re not alone, many survivors wonder if their experience “counts” or if they’re ready for this kind of work. This group is for adult women (inclusive of trans and non-binary folks who feel connected to womanhood) who have experienced sexual harm within family relationships or close familial dynamics — even if it wasn’t labeled as abuse at the time. If you’re seeking a space that honors safety, gentleness, and connection while exploring healing, this may be for you.
Incest refers to any form of sexual abuse, assault, or coercion that happens within a family system or dynamic. This includes abuse by parents, siblings, cousins, grandparents, stepparents, and even close family friends or figures who held a trusted or familial role in your life. Whether it happened once or over a period of time, your experience is valid and worthy of care.
No one is required to share beyond their comfort level. The group focuses on healing, connection, and moving forward rather than retelling traumatic events.
Completely. Most people feel anxious about opening up in a group setting — especially around something as sensitive as sexual trauma. We spend time building trust slowly, and you’re encouraged to take things at your own pace.
Yes. Confidentiality is a core value of this group. Everything shared in our sessions is held with deep respect and will never be disclosed outside the group. Group members will also be asked to agree to this shared commitment. Your safety, emotional and otherwise, comes first.
No. This is a support and psychoeducation group led by a trained facilitator. While it provides healing tools, it is not a replacement for individual therapy.
That’s okay! You are welcome to reach out for a consultation to see if this is the right time for you.
