I chose the hummingbird as a symbol of the work we do together.

Hummingbirds possess a remarkable ability: they can move backward in flight while remaining oriented forward.

The hummingbird reminds us that moving forward does not require leaving parts of ourselves behind. Rather, the wisdom of our inner world guides us forward - nourished by the tenderness and presence we bring to our past. Hummingbirds teach us that momentum can be found in the most curious of ways.

Land Acknowledgement

Heagle Therapy acknowledges with respect and gratitude the land on which this work is carried out. I live and work in Ancaster, Ontario, Canada, which is part of the broader region of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. I recognize this land as the traditional and continuing territory of the Erie, Neutral, Huron-Wendat, the Haudenosaunee, and the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation.

This land is also part of what is known as Turtle Island, home to many Indigenous peoples from across diverse Nations who continue to live, work, and care for these territories today. I honour their enduring presence, resilience, and stewardship of the land, waters, and all relations. With humility, I recognize that living and working here comes with ongoing responsibility to listen, learn, and deepen understanding of the histories and lived realities of Indigenous Peoples.
