TRANSFORM YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH MONEY
money + mental health
Calling all therapists, counsellors, coaches & wellness professionals!
Year after year we see finance-related mental health issues increasing.
The 2023 Financial Stress Index revealed that 40% of Canadians say money is their biggest concern, outranking our personal health, our jobs and our relationships.
1 in 3 say financial stress is leading to anxiety, depression, or other mental health issues.
In addition, 48% of respondents reported losing sleep due to financial stress.
Looking at this data, we can see that the healing potential of money work is both wide-reaching and profound.
There's a painful intersection of trauma and money in our culture, the impacts of which are rocketing us towards global crisis.
Healing this relationship is our most urgent calling.
financial avoidance
But here's the catch... research shows us that financial avoidance is more common among mental health professionals than those in any other field.
We are statistically more likely to exhibit money avoidant beliefs like:
· “Good people shouldn't care about money.”
· “It's not okay to have more than you need.”
· “Money corrupts people.”
And with that, we are significantly less likely to report good financial health - such as routinely paying off credit cards, having an emergency fund, sticking to a budget, or feeling confident in our financial knowledge and preparedness.
Considering the undeniable link between money and our mental health, it's imperative that we address these financial stressors within ourselves and with our clients. By opening up conversations around money, we create space for healing and growth.
We can only meet others as deeply as we've met ourselves.
charting a new course
Traditional financial literature assumes that people are rational when it comes to money. As a result, we may believe that a logical money manager is responsible for our financial outcomes. It turns out though that most of our money strategies are driven by emotion.
There's a lot of research to support that our beliefs about money are well established by the age of 7; meaning most of our money parts are children, doing their best to make sense of a very difficult and abstract concept.
These inner children holding our various personal and cultural money scripts deserve our compassionate presence.
Enter Money Mapping...
We've integrated principles from financial psychology with Internal Family Systems therapy to bring you a compassionate and transformative money-healing journey.
Are you ready to meet your money parts?

a new approach
There are layers of personal and collective trauma that impact our financial beliefs and behaviours. Because of these wounds, money has become a critical trailhead in our lives.
We're being called to follow the trail,
to boldly and bravely stay the course.
The purpose of our course is thus to facilitate the creation of your unique "Money Parts Map," a fundamental tool on your journey forward. Each group coaching session has been designed to gently invite forth your money parts so that we can meet them, map them, and then unburden them in your individual therapy.
Together we can design a more prosperous future.
