Supporting Indigenous Communities in Reclaiming Their Relationship With Money and Healing Financial Trauma

Equip your staff and community members with tools to approach money with empathy, cultural understanding, and a trauma-informed lens — strengthening trust, connection, and long-term healing.

I’m an Inuk woman proudly representing Kalaallit Nunaat, colonially known as Greenland. I bring a unique blend of financial expertise and human insight to my work — with a background in banking, a Bachelor's in Business Administration and Psychology, and a certification in the Trauma of Money method.

Now based in Treaty 6 and Treaty 8 territory (Spruce Grove, Alberta), I collaborate with Indigenous organizations to explore the link between money and trauma — and to shift how we approach financial conversations.

I create spaces where we can unlearn financial shame, reconnect with our values, and build real financial confidence. My approach is anti-capitalist, trauma-informed, and rooted in cultural safety.

Whether you're supporting youth, Elders, families or fronline staff, I'm here to help your staff build trust-based, culturally rooted financial relationships that honour the realities and strengths of Indigenous life.

Hi! I'm Tupaarnaq

When you heal your relationship with money, you heal your relationship with yourself.
