Let's get more people, more help, sooner.

​

I founded Abridge Consulting based on a simple, but not easy, goal - to get more people, more help, sooner. I believe we can all learn how to be a bridge between people struggling with their mental health and the support they need and deserve.  Abridge Consulting clients are organizations and teams who are ready to invest in their people, culture, and bottom line.

​

When I created my personal vision as happy, healthy, and grateful, I  honored health and wellness in my personal life more tangibly. That is when my career evolved to align with my core values and skills. Through years of experience and professional development, my specialty is workplace wellbeing, workplace mental health, and workplace suicide prevention.

​

With a strong background in learning and facilitation, and a passion for workplace mental health, I spent several years as a Corporate Wellness Manager. During that time, I championed workplace mental health and overall employee total health for 6,000+ employees province-wide, by building enterprise-wide strategies for mental, physical, emotional, and financial wellness. The results of my workplace mental health training program were closely measured and outperformed similar organizations across Canada.

​

I call myself a “relatable” role model who does the best I can to invest in my own mental, physical, and sleep health, but like most of us, I know I can always do more. I am a busy working parent of two kids and two dogs, and have big plans to conquer the amateur senior’s tennis tour someday.
