Meet Kalinie

Over time, my relationship with myself and others began to suffer.

I grew up in an environment where “adults know best!” which ultimately suppressed my voice, made me unable to set healthy boundaries and groomed me into a submissive and codependent little girl. Later, as I matured, my first relationship as a young adult was filled with abuse and heartbreak. My childhood and young adult experiences led me to build walls of protection around myself, not realizing that these were actually walls of self-imprisonment! Emotional triggers began to show up in my behavioural patterns. For example, when my ideas/opinions were challenged, I became very defensive. I also struggled with feeling unheard.
