About the Session
You may recognize moments on your recovery journey with Bipolar Disorder where the desire to move forward is present, but the path itself feels unclear. Would you like to walk with someone who’s been there?
For individuals seeking support with Bipolar Disorder management
Length: 1 hour // Offered in ENGLISH OR FRENCH
In-person and virtual (online) sessions available
Living well with bipolar disorder is possible — and it takes routine and commitment to do it. This diagnosis is not a sentence — it is an open door to choosing to do things differently.
This is where we can join you and walk by your side to help you develop awareness around your needs, creating new sustainable habits and coming back to yourself, the self you always knew you were.
Let’s co-create in ways that support you to build a life that uplifts you.
Where do we do this work?
We can meet in person for a walk + talk, set up in a park, meet at a quiet café, or do an online virtual meeting. Whatever works best for you.
The following are topics we can choose from to help guide the way:
(All drawn from Joëlle’s own lived experience)
lived experience with bipolar II disorder recovery
sober living and recovery from addiction to alcohol
daily mental health mood charting
Joëlle’s “Mental Health Golden Triangle”: 3 pillars of sleep hygiene, food as medicine and exercise for endorphins
practical application of cognitive-based tools and Radical Acceptance practice
Coaching is offered within a clear, ethical, and non-clinical framework that prioritizes collaboration, respect, and shared responsibility.
