OUR STORY

We both grew up in Nova Scotia - Natasha in the city and Katie in a small town. This is just the beginning of our similarities and differences.

We both attended St. Mary’s University for our psychology undergrads but didn’t know each other. It wasn’t until we both ventured west to the University of Calgary for our social work undergrads that we finally met.

We’ve spent many years in different social work roles supporting others, but we’ve found our real passion in our roles as therapists. We spend so much time together, talking, thinking and dreaming that it only made sense to join forces and become one as Living Curiously. 

Living Curiously is a therapy practice aimed to meet people where they’re at and to create a therapeutic space that people can be fully themselves, no matter how they’re showing up that day/month/week/year. We’ve seen how life has a way of getting people down and we’ve also seen the growth that can come from support and connection. We recognize that there’s no one size fits all approach to therapy which is why we both work from an integrated approach.

Living Curiously is here to help move you toward your goals, whatever they may be, in a way that feels best for you.
