Transforming place-based understanding—connected to land, woven through relationships, alive with knowledge.
How I Support
I support leaders, institutions, organizations, and individuals seeking more grounded, responsible, and effective ways to work in relationship with place, people, and long-term change.
Strategic Advisory, Coaching & Mentoring
Support for leadership teams and individuals building stronger systems, clearer decision-making practices, and approaches aligned with responsibility, place, and institutional change.
Facilitation & Engagement
Thoughtful facilitation for conversations, planning processes, and engagement pathways that strengthen trust, surface complexity, and create shared momentum.
Organizational Support
Guidance for embedding reconciliation principles into culture, communication, internal systems, and long-term strategy without reducing the work to performance or optics.
Workshops & Learning
Place-based workshops and learning experiences that deepen understanding, build internal capability, and create more meaningful connection to context and responsibility.
Story Behind the Work
This work is grounded in the belief that reconciliation is not a statement of intent, but a lived responsibility shaped through relationship, place, and sustained action over time.
Across decades of work in Indigenous rights, land use, governance, engagement, and organizational change, one principle has remained clear: meaningful transformation happens when people understand where they are, who they are in relationship with, and what their responsibilities ask of them.
Reconciliation Pathways exists to help organizations move beyond surface-level commitments toward approaches that are more thoughtful, more aligned, and more grounded in the realities of place.
The PLACE™ Framework
PLACE™ offers a structured, relational approach to understanding the connections between land, people, systems, and responsibility—helping organizations move with greater clarity, alignment, and care.
Identify the land, waters, territories, and relationships connected to where you work and make decisions.
Seek trusted knowledge, historical context, and grounded understanding through credible sources and relationships.
Reflect on responsibilities, risks, and alignments before action, ensuring the work is grounded and accountable.
Use language, stories, and representation with accuracy, respect, and consistency across internal and external spaces.
Build and sustain relationships over time, integrating learning into practice rather than treating it as a one-time step.
Translate insight into practical systems, leadership choices, and engagement pathways that support long-term change.
Experience & Impact
Work across government, First Nations, universities, and global organizations—supporting reconciliation, engagement, place-based strategy, and the development of durable systems for meaningful change.
Grounded in place, guided by relationship.
Based in X̱wemelch’stn in West Vancouver, this work is shaped by the lands, waters, and living responsibilities held within the shared territories of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, and səl̓ilwətaɬ Peoples. Mountains, forest, and ocean are not a backdrop to the work—they are part of how attention, care, and accountability are understood.
