About Me
My name is Katrina Hayes.
I am a proud parent of four - two of whom are adults. Originally from West Hants, I moved to the Rocky Mountains at 18 and returned home in 2022. I hold a BA (Hons) in Sociology and Women and Gender Studies and will be pursuing my Masters of Sociology at Acadia University this fall. My interests include gardening, hiking, and family time, and I am deeply passionate about helping others find support to lead more fulfilling and comfortable lives!
