She has a Bachelor Degree in Sexuality, Marriage, and Family Studies from the University of Waterloo, and a Bachelor of Education specializing in Secondary Education, Visual Arts, & Healthy Living from St. Francis Xavier University.

During her time as a teacher, she excelled at connecting with children and youth over sensitive subjects and led classroom discussions on difficult topics such as gender and sexuality education, sexual assault, identity development, substance use, and adolescent brain development.

As a therapist, Celeigh is particularly effective at working with creative and neurodivergent clients of all ages to help them develop a deeper understanding of and ability to manage their emotions, as well as treating symptoms of anxiety and depression. Her primary approaches to clinical treatment involve strengths-based, narrative, person-centred and arts-based interventions. Celeigh is currently working towards completing her LCT candidacy with Dr. Jen Rowett (PhD, LCT, CCC-S) as supervisor.
