Exactly As You Are
Go and love someone exactly as they are. And then watch how quickly they transform into the greatest, truest version of themselves. When one feels seen and appreciated in their own essence, one is instantly empowered. ~ Wes Angelozzi I was struck by the above quote this week as another round of religious berating of… Continue reading

Getting to Know Your … Heart
Back at the beginning of July I introduced the idea that we were designed to live in intimate knowledge of ourselves – heart, soul, mind and body – and to live whole lives based on who we were uniquely created to be. Let’s imagine these elements as being part of a single circle, like this:… Continue reading

Upcoming Race Schedule
It’s time to see what all of that training this summer has done for us. We’ve got three races that we’re scheduled for coming up, and since it’s always fun to have a cheering squad/support team, sponsors and teammates, I thought I would send out a quick post with the dates so that everyone was… Continue reading

Remember to Breathe
The power of breathing is fascinating to me. As a doula, I learned the deep power of breath to calm a woman down, to help her to focus, to help her to loosen her muscles, even to help her lessen her pain. In yoga I learned the deep power of breath to help identify points… Continue reading

Joining
I happen to be part of a very awesome, very unique family. My husband has autism. Both of my surviving children have autism. And I am probably somewhere on the atypical autism spectrum. Which means that all of the fun and challenges of living with someone with autism is multiplied by a factor of four.… Continue reading

Rhythm, Ritual, Rest
I spent eight years working as a doula. In that time I attended fifty births, and supported mentee doulas attending dozens of other births. And while every birth was different, there was one constant that helped me get all of my mamas through their big days (or nights), and that was Rhythm, Ritual and Rest.*… Continue reading

Training Days
The race season in Ontario takes a bit of a break over the summer if you’re not ready for triathlons (hoping to do these next year, but still waiting for the stroller that will allow us to bike). We’ve got two 5K races coming up in September, but our new goal race is the October 22… Continue reading

The requirement from the manufacturer was that since we were purchasing the chair with myTeamTriumph Canada’s assistance, their logo and website had to… Continue reading

Barrie Canada Day 10K – Race Report
I have to say, there’s a huge draw for me in doing local races – a 9:30 race start means getting there at 8:30 and leaving the house at 8:10! So much better than the 4:00 am start last month! 🙂 And we were fortunate enough to score the closest wheelchair accessible parking spot to… Continue reading

Pacing
I’ve been told by great runners that pacing is the key to a great race. But pacing is also really hard to do! I presume that this is why so many races offer ‘pace-bunnies’ – people who commit to doing the discipline of running at exactly a 6:00 km, for example, so that all that you as… Continue reading
About the program
In 2017 I was newly self-diagnosed with atypical autism, struggling with burnout, and striking out when it came to therapists who could address the issues I was facing. At the same time, I was building skills around life coaching, shame reduction, and trauma-informed therapy for work. Gradually I realized that what I needed – an embodied, autonomous, agency-driven coaching approach to unmasking – was not something I was going to find “out there”, but something I was going to need to create if I wanted to recover my life. This was the moment the Values Based Integration Process was born.
Having developed the program for myself – and having seen the incredible results it brought in my own life – I began to use it with coaching clients. The results were out of this world!
After conversations with Dr. Devon Price, the technique was featured in his book Unmasking Autism. With it, came interest in the technique and the decision was made to begin training coaches and therapists to help make this toolkit more readily available.
