Meet Kelly Shin
BEd, MEd, RCC
I am someone who seeks balance through quiet, reflection, and connection to nature.
At my core, I’m someone who gives generously, feels deeply, and understands that life gets messy!
Motherhood, from infants to toddlers to teens, has been both deeply challenging and profoundly transformative. It has expanded my capacity for love while also offering a mirror into my own growth. The loss of my own mother, just as I was becoming one myself, is something I carry with me. It continues to inform how I show up in the world—with empathy, perspective, and a deep respect for the complexities of grief and connection.
You’ll often find me walking with my dogs, spending time near water, or finding stillness among the trees. I also hold a strong appreciation for laughter—it brings lightness to life and reminds me not to take everything so seriously.
I live in the space between deep care for others and a genuine need for solitude. For over 20 years, I’ve worked as both an educator and counsellor, supporting children and families through a wide range of experiences. Alongside this work, I’ve also been raising my own three children—an experience that continues to shape me in meaningful and humbling ways.
