When we heal ourselves, we heal the world that we live in.

My name is Margeaux and I am a writer, educator, and community builder committed to providing folks living with trauma with the opportunities you need to build the forms of connection you long for. I also want to help all of us dream up new ways of being in the world that centre interdependence and ensure our inherent needs for safety, belonging, and self-regard are met.

We all carry within us so many unhealed wounds. When unaddressed, these wounds cause us to act in ways that do not align with our values: we oppress others more marginalized than us, we seek out conflict and repeat cycles of harm and abuse, we run away from the forms of intimacy that we so desire.

At the heart of my work is the desire to answer this question:

In a world that works to oppress and divide us, how do we care for one another and ourselves?

 

About me

I spent the 10 years in graduate school and earned my PhD in English Literature and Sexual Diversity Studies in 2021. While academia gave me a space to pursue my passions for writing, teaching, and community building, I’m excited to have left the institution behind so that I can do the radical forms of work that I believe in.

I strive to make sure that I am acting in alignment with my core values, which are:

  • Compassion: when judgment rears its head to protect me, I choose to turn away from shame and towards compassion.

  • Curiosity: when I feel resistance in my body, and the desire for mastery rears its head, I ask myself questions: Why am I feeling this way? What might happen if I made a different choice?

  • Accountability: when I find myself wanting to punish myself and others for causing harm, I move away from punitive forms of accountability and root into the principles of transformative justice.

  • Emergence: when I become fixated on making the biggest impact possible, I remind myself of adrienne maree brown’s teachings: big changes occur through small and simple actions.

Working Together

  • Workshops

    The workshops I offer are centred on providing participants with the supports they need to address life’s big challenges. From conflict resolution to building the skills you need to navigate mental health challenges, my workshops take a trauma-informed approach to learning and a community-centred approach to healing.

  • Consultations

    I offer one-on-one consultations for folks who would like to take inclusive, anti-oppression allyship to another level. These consultations are tailored to you. My areas of focus are increasing accessibility and inclusivity for the LGBTQ+ community and those who identify as mad, disabled, and chronically ill.

  • 1:1 Peer Support

    Ever wanted to do a deep dive with me, just the two of us? With “Trauma Witchery: 1:1 Peer Support for Queers, Spoonies, Trauma BBs, Activists, and Other Tender Weirdos,” you can work with me on everything from building supportive boundaries to cultivating compassion as someone living with a chronic illness.
