Jules Smith

About Jules

I collaborate with clients to deepen their resilience, capacities and joy in the multiple roles in their lives. I delight in engaging with clients to revitalize their sense of purpose in the present and empower their vision for a meaningful future.

I have 30+ years as an educator and counsellor and 13+ years as a faculty member at Capilano University. I am trained in various therapeutic modalities to meet your needs and goals.

I am a settler woman of British and French ancestry living on the homelands and beside the waters of the shtshtlh and S?wx?wt7mesh Nations on what is known as the Sunshine Coast.

I am a spouse, mother, stepmother, grandmother, sister, auntie and active community member. I am grateful to live close to the forest and Salish Sea where I can often be found walking with friends and our dog, Rico or on my SUP. I love the land and as taught by Robin Wall Kimmerer, believe that the land loves us back, in the restorative power of that relationship and the responsibility that comes with reciprocity.

Jules is a voracious reader and audiophile, cultural and political thinker, mark maker and is indebted to the teachings of all those whose work is informed by hope, courage, love, beauty, justice and liberation.
