Welcome to

A Journey of Recovery

My mission is to share my journey of healing from narcissistic abuse, family scapegoating, and domestic violence to empower and inspire others who are also on a path of recovery.

Abuse can happen to anyone. Accordingly, my goal is to help people regardless of their gender, sexuality or ethnicity.

My aim is to build a collection of resources for survivors about:

strategies that proved useful
things didn't work
things I have learned
things I would do differently

I hope to provide you with useful insights and inspire you to keep moving forward. Note these resources are meant to complement therapeutic interventions and should not be seen as a substitute for counselling and/or crisis support services. If you are struggling, please reach out to a professional for help.

The Strength of

Thoughtful Planning

In my experience, recovering from abuse requires a certain amount of strategic planning. It's helpful to set achievable goals for gradual progress, because each small step forward contributes to the overall recovery journey.

Remember, trauma affects not only our mind but also our physical body. Thus, I have found that embracing a holistic approach - one that nurtures the body, mind, and spirit - is key to healing.

Empower yourself by seeking out resources that have been informed by first-hand experience, and take charge of your path to recovery and healing today.
