Testimonials
“Abbie is kind, empathetic, authentic, honest, relatable & funny; she is an absolute gem. I feel so blessed to have her in my corner. She has held me through some really dark moments and even though she’s seen me at my lowest, her perception of me has never changed. She reminds me of who I am, even when I can’t connect to myself which is especially useful for someone with PMDD. I truly feel understood by Abbie and I know she genuinely cares about me.
Abbie is also really good at helping me sort through the stories in my mind that PMDD is trying to push forward. After each session with Abbie I leave with a sense of clarity and actionable steps I can take toward the direction I want to go.
Additionally, Abbie has a way with language, she is extremely talented at using words to describe and validate what I am experiencing. If you have PMDD or a chronic illness, Abbie will be a great addition to your care team.
Thank you Abbie for being you!!!”

“Abbie is such a kind hearted individual who has dedicated herself to creating supportive spaces for other people experiencing PMDD. A session with Abbie is a grounding and judgment-free space. It is so valuable to be able to talk through things with someone who just gets it! I highly recommend Abbie to anyone looking for support around their condition.”

“Working with Abbie has been one of the most meaningful forms of support I’ve experienced in navigating PMDD and everything that can come with it. Abbie has an incredible ability to sit with you in those moments without judgment or fear. She never makes me feel like I am “too much". What makes Abbie so special is that she doesn’t just listen to respond... she truly listens to understand. She sees you and remembers the person underneath the struggle and gently reminds you of that person when you can’t see it yourself. There have been moments where I’ve come to her feeling completely overwhelmed or lost, and I leave feeling so much more connected to myself.
I think one of the hardest parts of PMDD can be feeling like you can’t trust yourself or your own perception. Abbie has helped me rebuild that trust. She has given me space to be completely honest and vulnerable, supported by the kind of validation that makes you feel genuinely seen rather than just reassured.
I’m incredibly grateful to have found her!!! Abbie's compassionate presence is the most profound kind of support someone can offer. If you’re navigating PMDD and looking for someone who will truly see you, understand you, and help you reconnect with yourself, I cannot recommend Abbie enough.”

“I have struggled with PMDD for several years and have sought help from many licensed Therapists and healthcare providers, but I have never felt as genuinely understood or connected with anyone as I do with Abbie. She truly gets it.
In my PMDD journey, I have often felt a profound sense of loneliness, but finding Abbie - who can relate to and understand my challenges - has made me feel both incredibly validated and less isolated. I feel like I’m not alone in this anymore.
In our sessions, I can be my authentic self with her. She creates that warm, comfortable space where I feel safe and not judged; I can show up without fear, anxiety or shame, and it’s like talking to a caring friend or a big sister who gives that genuine love and understanding that you need.
She patiently and attentively listens to my unique needs and situation and offers real, practical steps for growth that are tailored to me. Such dedicated support is truly rare and invaluable, and I can’t recommend her enough to anyone dealing with PMDD, premenstrual issues, or just any kind of personal struggle.”

“Discovering the tremendous value of peer counselling has been life affirming as someone living with severe chronic illness.
Working with Abbie, someone with lived experience of chronic illness, has left me feeling deeply seen and understood. With her, there's a real throughline of mutuality, solidarity and kinship that is hard to tap into in a clinical therapeutic setting.
Abbie consistently shows up grounded, with an effortless warmth, attunement and loving presence. She's incredibly skilled at meeting you exactly where you're at. I always leave our sessions feeling nourished, less alone, and like I’ve been offered a beautiful kind of accompaniment. ”
-Lou, Canada.
“Working with Abbie has been instrumental to my growth and well-being while navigating PMDD. I originally sought out support because I was experiencing struggles in my relationships with my partner, family, and friends. It felt as if I was running into the same conflicts over and over again with no way out. Abbie has supported me in figuring out where my work is while also emphasizing the importance of giving myself grace.
Abbie has created an online community space like no other that I’ve experienced; this is a space where I can express myself and trust that my experience and humanity are being received by people who understand. If you’re seeking compassionate and non-judgmental support for a Premenstrual Disorder, I highly recommend working with Abbie and the group.”
-Juliet, USA.
“Abbie has been a wise and invaluable guide who’s helped me traverse the dark caverns of my PMDD awakening. I always leave her sessions with increased clarity, hope, and useful tools. She has facilitated in changing my life for the better with her unconditional love and expertise.”
-Marie, USA.
“An incredible listener is a rare thing. Listening is a skill we all think we have, and yet, very few of us act as a sounding board in the way Abbie does.
She is hugely empathetic, attentive to the subtleties of what you're saying and highly knowledgeable on the theory, and practice of PMDD. If you want someone who just 'gets it' when it comes to PMDD, Abbie is that person.”
-Elsa, UK.
“My two year journey with peer support has been a true partnership. Over the course of our sessions, Abbie shared tools and insights that helped me navigate difficult moments. But through more than just being there during challenging times, Abbie creates a safe space where I can consistently show up as myself with whatever is going on and this has helped me see what I can’t always see in myself. Her steady presence and continuity of support is empowering me to uncover my own resilience.”
-Rebecca, Scotland.
“When I had my peer support call with Abbie, I was navigating a period of immense personal upheaval. I didn’t even realize how deeply I needed someone to truly see and understand me until she did. Her ability to witness my experience with such genuine validation and care was profoundly healing.
Abbie brings a depth of understanding that only someone with lived experience can offer. In our conversation, the weight I had been carrying for so long—often in complete isolation—began to lift. Just having someone say, “I get it,” and mean it, softened something in me that had been held so tightly for decades. I’ve lived with PMDD for almost 25 years, much of that time suffering alone, feeling unseen and misunderstood. Abbie offered me a moment of connection, of being truly witnessed, that I’ll never forget. Her support reminded me that I am not alone—and that is an invaluable gift.”
-Katy, Jamaica.
“It feels so empowering to work with Abbie. With similar lived experiences and exceptional listening skills, she makes me feel seen, heard and understood. She creates a completely judgement-free space for me to share my biggest vulnerabilities.
I came away from one session with a practical tool for anxious thoughts and unhelpful patterns.
Abbie is helping me to become the self-respecting person that I want to be, and to create the life that I want to live. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”
-Tessa, New Zealand.
