Kayla’s Story
With over 15 years of experience working in my family’s business, particularly in leadership and People & Culture, I’ve gained a deep understanding of how powerful it is to create environments that nurture both individual well-being and organizational success. As a mother of three, navigating a blended family after having my first child at 18, I’ve learned firsthand the importance of resilience, adaptability, and finding balance in both my personal and professional life.
From a young age, I was sensitive and carried many inner thoughts and emotions that I didn’t know how to process. I longed for the support of a therapist, but it wasn’t available to me at the time.
Over the years, I sought clarity and understanding of myself, but it wasn’t until the pandemic that I finally created space in my life to reconnect with my passions and dreams, independent of the expectations shaped by others.
That’s when my journey into counselling education began, and I discovered the transformative power of self-exploration and healing.
In my first year of counselling training, I learned the crucial lesson that as a counselor, I needed to first heal myself—a journey that deepened my understanding of the process of healing.
For many years, I played various roles in my family’s business, trying to meet everyone’s needs and create success for others. Eventually, I burned out. Working in an environment that wasn’t aligned with my true purpose left me feeling disconnected and drained. After stepping away from that chapter, I made the bold decision to start my own business—one that reflects my true passion and purpose, both personally and professionally.
Today, I’m here to help others find their center, whether it’s individuals seeking personal growth or organizations looking to create healthy, thriving cultures. I understand the importance of reconnecting with your inner resources, and my mission is to guide you in creating a life, career, relationships or business that truly reflects who you are at your core. My own journey of transformation fuels my passion for helping others heal, grow, and find fulfillment in every aspect of life.

ABOUT CENTERED WELLNESS
At Centered Wellness, we believe that true transformation begins from within, at your center. Your center is the core of who you are—where your strength, wisdom, and inner resources flow from. It is the place where clarity, peace, and power converge, and from which all aspects of your life can harmoniously align. Through personalized counselling and consulting services, we support you in reconnecting with this core, allowing you to access the full potential needed to create the life, career, organization, and relationships you desire.
In counselling, we use a variety of therapeutic modalities to guide you back to your center. Whether you're facing personal challenges, healing from past traumatic events, seeking growth in your career, or working to deepen your relationships, our approach helps you navigate your unique journey with the strength and wisdom already within you.
At Centered Wellness, we specialize in youth and adult counselling, relationship counselling, and organizational consulting. Our mission is to help you reconnect with your center—where everything flows from—so you can experience a deeper understanding of yourself, more fulfillment, and lasting change in every area of your life.
In business, the center is its people—the heart of every organization. As Simon Sinek says, “Customers will never love a company until the employees love it first.” By fostering a culture where employees are valued and aligned with a shared purpose, organizations can create environments that drive success. Through our consulting services, we help businesses cultivate meaningful partnerships among team members, ensuring everyone is "rowing in the same direction," as Jim Collins puts it in Good to Great. This alignment strengthens communication, enhances understanding, and boosts collaboration, creating a thriving culture where each individual feels empowered to contribute their best.
Whether through leadership consulting or family business dynamics, our goal is to guide organizations in building a cohesive, purposeful team that drives both the success and growth of the business—always from a centered, unified place.
OUR MISSION
At Centered Wellness, our mission is to empower individuals and organizations to reconnect with their inner center—where true transformation begins. Through personalized counselling and consulting, we guide clients in accessing their inner strength, wisdom, and clarity, enabling them to create meaningful change in their life, career, relationships, and business. We specialize in helping individuals navigate personal growth, heal from past challenges, and build resilience.
Whether working with individuals, teens, young adults, families, or organizations, our approach is designed to help each person or team heal, grow, and unlock their full potential. We focus on nurturing resilience, cultivating lasting change, and fostering aligned, purpose-driven teams in psychologically safe environments.
For organizations, we begin with leadership, recognizing that effective leadership is key to creating a culture of trust, open communication, and collaboration. Leaders who model vulnerability, empathy, and self-awareness set the tone for a psychologically safe environment where team members feel empowered to express themselves without fear of judgment. By fostering such environments, we help organizations build strong, cohesive teams that are aligned with a shared purpose and able to thrive together.
At the heart of our approach is the belief that by nurturing your core, you unlock the full potential for lasting success, fulfillment, and harmony in all areas of life—whether personal or professional.
