Hi! I’m Maud :)
I’m a Latina, cis female, born in Nicaragua and identify as queer. I’m quite the eclectic entrepreneur and beauty/psychotherapist. My educational background is in the area of aesthetics and permanent makeup. I’m also Registered Social Worker, Psychotherapist, with a Masters in Social Work, BA in Social Work & Psychology, as well as a college diploma in the Assaulted Women and Children’s Counsellor/Advocate program.
I believe that our well-being, just as our identities, do not fit into a box. We are ever changing and transitioning into different stages and stresses of life. I believe in a holistic approach to self-care and healing, which has proven by research to benefit our overall health, and improve mental/emotional wellness.

Hi! I’m Bailey, a Registered Social Worker with Coconut Vigor. I am passionate about young people’s mental health and working with their families. As an eclectic therapist, I also delve into lash artistry and offer lash extensions for clients interested in aesthetics and self-care.
When it comes to counselling, I specialize in working with children, teens and young adults that are struggling with stress, big life changes, and overwhelming emotions that are hard to control. It can be so difficult to feel alone and like no understands you, and even more lost on what step to take next. Sometimes the problem looks like outbursts of anger, deep sadness, rollercoaster emotions, complicated relationships, experiences of bullying, difficulties at school, or a hard time communicating with family. For young parents, managing life may seem impossible, in addition to judgements from family or friends around parenting.
I am passionate about supporting young people in finding healthy ways to deal with their emotions, becoming confident in their decisions, and working on feelings of shame and guilt that prevent them from succeeding. Becoming more aware of what your belief and value system looks like, will help us create a plan that can allow you to be yourself.
My work and life experience has taught me that everyone learns and copes with things differently, and as a therapist it’s important for me to connect with you and understand your needs. My support extends to guiding parents in creating a plan to support their children as well as themselves through these challenging times. Let’s begin by focusing on you!
You can also find me on psychology today!
