Every area of your life reflects your attachment system
Why Attachment Matters
-
I believe that our attachment patterns dictate every choice we make. It’s the influence for our reactions to being loved, trusting friends, receiving money, connection to our blood family, how safe we feel in community, and the list goes on.
-
Secure Attachment: Feeling secure that love will be there no matter what, and knowing the attachment relationship is a secure base so a person can explore the world and their gifts with confidence.
Anxious Attachment: Fear that love, attention, or connection will disappear. Often believing "There's not enough for me if someone else receives it."
Avoidant Attachment: Pulling away from closeness when connection feels too vulnerable.
Disorganized Attachment: Deeply craving love and closeness, while simultaneously pushing it away from fear.
-
What began as a nerdy curiosity of how to be a securely attached parent, over time became our family’s entire way of life. Secure attachment is now a moment to moment choice to welcome fear in the body, and reassure the parts of the psyche that are scared. It’s a choice in every hug, every conversation, in every nonverbal interaction - and the essence of it is living from the energy of “I’m right here with you. And I’ll always come back to connection, no matter what messy parts of life arise,”

Hi, I’m Candace Sauvé
But please call me by my nickname, Kiki.
My work in the world changed with becoming a parent, and especially with the miscarriage of my first pregnancy.
It was a miracle I got pregnant in the first place, since I had post-menopausal AMH levels (<0.003). I thought I might never become a parent. Then, a miracle happened. Meet my daughter Ember - born in 2024.
Everything shifted and all of my creative energy redirected to being a full time Mother. My “why” for my work in the world quickly clarified into gathering people and doing everything I can to support secure attachment within community and families.
What became unmistakably clear was this:
We need more than therapy to thrive.
We need ceremony, community, and connection.
We need attachment repair.
We need nervous system support.
We need a modern village.
But, we have to build it.
After giving birth, my community showed up big time and I knew I had built a version of modern village that would last.
It lit a fire within me to create spaces where children are welcome in any room, and tears are heard without trying to fix or change them (a nod to Aware Parenting).
Over the last decade, the coaching modalities my husband and I are certified became the undercurrent of our entire life. Each moment became an opportunity to choose a “new way of being” rather than just using a tool.
