Welcome to Illumination Therapeutic Services
At Illumination, we are honoured to walk alongside you on your journey from merely surviving to truly thriving.
Our approach is rooted in four core values:
Witness with Compassion – We see and honour your story.
Enlighten with Expertise – We provide guidance and insight tailored to you.
Heal with Connection – We create a safe, supportive space for growth.
Transform with Joy – We celebrate breakthroughs, big and small.
Whether needing endless tissues, soft validation and witnessing of your pain, or a direct no nonsense reminder of how potential self-sabotaging behaviours are not in your best interest, we got you covered. At Illumination the tissues and laughs are free and part of the package deal along this healing journey we are grateful to be invited to walk along side you on.

Soaring With Burnt Wings – A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Resilience
When Elizabeth Leanne lost her husband, Cam, before the age of 30, she didn’t believe survival was possible—nor did she want it to be. Soaring With Burnt Wings is a deeply personal memoir that offers an intimate look into their love story, their courageous approach to his cancer diagnosis, and the raw devastation of his passing. More than a tribute, this book is a beacon of hope for anyone navigating grief, offering powerful lessons on healing, resilience, and rediscovering oneself in the aftermath of loss. Written from the depths of sorrow, it serves as both a roadmap and an inspiration for those learning to fly again, even in life’s darkest moments.
