The Clarity to Grow Through Life’s Transitions

“Real change, enduring change, happens one step at a time.”

— Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Life’s transitions are inevitable. You cannot control the weather. You can control your ability to adjust to the most extreme conditions.When a person finds themselves in the depths of grief or loss of a loved one, their past self or even beloved things, it’s common that they don’t have the tools to navigate the overwhelm that comes with it.

True Essence Wellness was founded by Laura Chartrand, RTC, to address the need for more compassionate support during life transitions. It is a boutique private practice based in Victoria, BC that offers online counselling giving clients clarity, peace, direction, confidence, and purpose through life’s pivotal moments and beyond.

“Laura has been an instrumental part of a fundamental shift in my emotional and mental well-being. She is very easy to open up to and is always thoughtful and engaging. She has helped me overcome great grief by assisting me in the shadow work that was necessary for me to begin to heal. I feel that great change has occurred through the tools she has provided me during our time together. I highly recommend Laura to anyone seeking support. Thank you Laura for all you have done for me.”
