About Miranda
Welcome. I’m grateful you’re here.
In late 2012, I returned to Toronto after traveling a good portion of this beautiful earth and living abroad in various cities such as Sydney and Manchester for over 10 years. What was waiting for me back home was not what I was expecting. In the spring of 2013, I held my mom's hand for the last time. She had become a close friend once I hit my adult years, and we spoke often — sharing in ways I later learned most mothers and daughters don’t. Our bond was strong, and after her passing, I felt very lost. The following decade was a journey through grief and rediscovering myself — endings followed by beginnings. A lot of change, including another big move out west in 2016.
British Columbia was where my heart truly began to crack open. More endings and more beginnings led me to train as a Generational Healer® in late 2018. Friends started asking me why I was so emotional all the time. It was because, for the first time since 2013, I was really feeling what was in my body — the deep grief stored in my muscles and bones. Generational Healing® became a doorway back into myself.
After quitting my full-time job in 2021, I decided to take the summer off — giving myself the freedom to flow and feel into what my body wanted to do next. That summer, I truly learned to trust the energy I was feeling and allow things to unfold as they wanted to. Less forcing, more flow. I went over to Vancouver Island for a 10-day solo camping trip, not knowing I’d come home from that trip, give three weeks' notice to my landlord, and move to Courtenay in the Comox Valley. People asked why I was moving, and I’d say, “I’m not sure — it’s just a feeling I have, and it feels right.”
Now I can look back and feel 100% confident that it was the right decision. Being in a smaller after a big city was different, but having moved to other cities and countries three times before, I wasn’t afraid to put myself out there and new creating community would take time.
2024/2025 turned out to be a deeply transformative time for me. I took time off to focus on recovering from burnout. I never thought it would happen to me — but never say never. It was a humbling experience to realise I had stopped listening to my body and it was effecting my mind. I had to learn how to truly rest, coming back home to my body and calming my mind. Not just with activity, but also with nutrition. My body had changed due to years of ongoing stress from COVID times and a new job. It was time for deeper healing on all levels. During this time nature was deeply healing as I explored being more present while walking different trails around the Comox Valley. I kept busy focusing on how I could really add rest into my way of life and started with a solo silent retreat in Arizona, while building up my daily meditation practice. I also was working towards a Mindful Yin Yoga Teacher Training and redid my Generational Healing® training to felt more confident as a certified Generational Healer®.
My path now looks vastly different than it did even a year ago. My values are stronger, and I no longer want to rush or push. I want to slow down and flow. It feels so much better — and it’s helped me cultivate a deep presence in life. I’ve seen that the more present I am, the less worry, anxiety, and stress I feel in both my body and thoughts. I’m able to process experiences in the moment rather than needing to unpack them later through talking or writing. I now approach life with more optimism and lightness.
As I write this, I reflect on how those first years living on the island brought deep healing. They also led me into a softer, more open, and still life — one that is intentional, slow, and built closely to nature. There are still days I get caught up in the doing, and I have to remind myself to pause, to be, and to flow — using the tools and wisdom I’ve gathered over the past year.
I hope this space helps you begin to cultivate the same in your life — or at least start thinking about how you might begin. If this resonates and you are looking to connect, please reach out here.

Testimonials
Zoey M. ~
My Generational Healing® session with Miranda was potent and purifying. I could feel the energy shifting and clearing in each area of the body as Miranda shared the information from my ancestor. It was a deep healing that I needed and potent information that helped me clarify what I am here to heal in this life and transform. I went through a giant purge after our session together physically and mentally. I came out of it clearer and stronger. Miranda is a gentle and intuitive guide that helped me fully relax and open to this work.

My Generational Healing® session with Miranda was very impactful. She connected to ancestors I didn't realize I had in my maternal lineage as my mother was adopted. It was very enlightening to learn more about that side of my family and able to provide sepcific details about her encounter with the ancestor. She made me feel very comfortable throughout the experience and is a gifted healer. The session was gentle and impactful. I highly recommend a session with Miranda!

I have never had a Generational Healing® session before the one with Miranda, so I had no idea what to expect. Miranda’s energy is so calm and grounding, I was able to enter a relaxed state pretty quickly. The information she received was so interesting and helpful. And during the whole time I felt the energy moving and shifting in areas related to the ancestor that came through. Overall, the experience was super relaxing and interesting, it was wild to connect to ancestors from generations past and have experience be reflected in issues coming up in this lifetime. I couldn’t recommend GH with Miranda more, especially if you’re looking to work with ancestral wounds.

My session with Miranda was truly a gift to myself, my ancestors and my children. I had no idea I could connect to my past in this way, nor that I needed to heal. Since my session I have come to understand my inherited trauma, and how that affects me, body mind and soul. Thank you Miranda you are a lovely person with a calming demeanor. I felt your knowledge and strength in my session. Thank you again for this experience, it was truly amazing.
