What Drives My Work
Hi! My name is Chavisa (sha-vee-sah). ​
​
You’re here because you’re likely going through a major life transition or challenge - or you want to better support your clients, patients, or team members going through challenges.
I want you to know you are not alone.
I’ve been there; I understand. And I’m here to help.​​
My Holistic Approach
I empower you to improve safety and wellness because:
-
I love loving people. Love is medicine
-
How we look after each other, especially those who are vulnerable or struggling, is an invitation to be fully alive and love wholeheartedly
-
I personally know this complex terrain, the big feelings involved, and the steps to digest and metabolize trauma so that you can rebuild a life you love
-
Luckily, I’m also a nerd who loves theory and research. I used to work on community-led health solutions. I’m skilled at navigating complex bureaucratic systems, and I have an outstanding record with complex problem-solving. My professional skills, ongoing training, and arsenal of resources to empower and bolster you.
-
I am deeply passionate about thinking strategically about difficult and complex situations. I love helping people problem-solve to safety and build confidence and take back their power.
-
I work with my heart and my mind. Just having information about trauma falls flat. After my own spectacular sacred grieving and healing journey, I became certified as a Trauma Recovery practitioner, which I compliment with Jikiden Reiki energy work and intuitive healing to offer whole person support.

My Story
I was married and had a child. A year after I left the relationship, I experienced extensive post-separation abuse. This extended traumatic experience was excruciating and changed the course of my life. I felt overwhelmed as I faced incomprehensible challenges. I was deeply scared, isolated, and depleted.
​
Over time, I discovered the courage to tackle each challenge one by one. I also found incredible tools to process and integrate trauma. This extended experience taught me huge lessons, built up an arsenal of amazing skills, and ultimately transformed me.
​
While I would never wish this experience on anyone, I became the strongest, most processed version of myself. I developed immense understanding, courage, and capacity and decided to activate this experience to create positive change. This led me to create The Mother Corp. to support individuals on their empowering transformation journeys. As a lifelong learner, I engage in ongoing education, training, mentorship, and certifications to deepen my skills and knowledge.
​
My experience with injustice solidified my commitment to advancing justice and system change. I contributed to the Systemic Review on how the legal system addresses intimate partner violence. I also have a Human Rights complaint underway to advance justice for women who experience violence.
​
My Mission
To be an empowering Ally and resource for you by providing tailored, trauma-informed education, tools, and resources to support conscientiousness, while amplifying your personal healing and transformation journey so that you shine.
​
My Purpose
Supporting individuals and their children going through traumatic experiences, as well as professionals working with clients, patients, and team members impacted by trauma or dealing with trauma themselves.
Where many people feel disheartened, I’m energized by meaningful and loving connections that improve people's quality of life.
​
It has been my honour to meet and support so many individuals and professionals compassionately navigating life challenges and transform their lives and work environments for the better. If you would benefit from skilled support, get in touch. It'll be a privilege for us to connect and help you activate your full capacity.
