About Mindscape Wellness

Mindscape Wellness was created from lived experience — and from the belief that support should feel human, collaborative, and grounded in real life.

Care  here is not about fixing people. It’s about helping people understand themselves, build capacity, and move forward with support that fits.

Jacki

Founder | Counsellor

My path to counselling hasn't been a straight one. Before Mindscape, I spent 20 years as a hairstylist and business owner—a career that taught me a great deal about people, connection, and the stories we carry.

I raised neurodivergent children before discovering my own neurodivergence in adulthood. My own experiences with mental health, burnout, neurodivergence, and major life transitions have also shaped how I understand the courage it can take to ask for support.

Grief and loss have been part of my life from a young age. I experienced my first significant death at seven and, through my teenage years and adulthood, experienced the deaths of friends, family members and people I cared about, including losses to suicide.

Those experiences have deeply shaped the way I understand grief—not as something we simply “move on” from, but as something we learn to carry and make space for as life continues around it.

I believe people need spaces where they don't have to perform, mask, or have everything figured out before they belong. My approach is warm, curious, collaborative, and grounded in helping people understand themselves rather than trying to change who they are.

Hi, I'm Sheena

Neurodivergent Family Support Specialist

Early Childhood Educator | Parent Coach | Child Development & Regulation Support

My approach to this work is shaped not only by my training as an Early Childhood Educator, but by my lived experience as a parent. I understand what it feels like to be in the middle of overwhelming moments with your child—to question yourself, to feel unsure, and to wonder if you’re getting it right. Over time, I’ve come to see that many of the challenges children face aren’t signs that something is wrong with them—but that they are navigating big emotions, unmet needs, or environments that don’t always support how they experience the world. This understanding is at the core of how I support families.

Who I Support

I work with:

  • Parents navigating behaviour, emotional regulation, and overwhelm in everyday family life
  • Children experiencing big emotions, anxiety, transitions, or behavioural challenges
  • Neurodivergent children and their families (including autism, ADHD, and sensory differences)
  • Parents who feel reactive, unsure, or stuck and want to respond with more confidence and connection

My approach is inclusive, neurodiversity-affirming, and welcoming of all family structures and identities, including LGBTQ+ and gender-diverse individuals.

You don’t have to have everything figured out to begin. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, exploring change, or simply wanting steadier ground—you’re welcome here.

Community Support

As Mindscape grows, our vision includes community education, accessible group offerings, and lower-barrier supports so care can reach beyond one-to-one sessions.

Current and future offerings may include workshops, community access spots, and funded educational programming.
