Navigating a transition? Looking for more?
I've been there.

"Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.”
~Anais Nin
My top values are family, health, love of learning, integrity, and adventure.
I started my career as a management consultant with a large, international firm. Burnout sent me on a leave of absence, from which I transitioned into graduate school, travelled the world, and spent a year working overseas.
​​
I reconnected with a deep love for teaching and helping others grow while working with corporate clients on my year abroad. On my return to Canada, I became a teacher then a school principal, a career which I loved, but which was cut short when my father lost a battle with cancer and I was needed in our family business.
​
​Marriage, motherhood, family, community, obligations, and the busyness of life took over, but I always felt called to more.
I hired a coach, but she wasn't certified or properly trained, and she talked me out of my dreams. I have firsthand experience to know how important proper training and adherence to a professional code of ethics are for a coach.
Fast forward a few years.
I've combined the lessons learned from years of diverse, far-reaching experience through multiple life transitions, with a passion for personal growth and human potential. Then I added rigorous internationally ICF-accredited coach training at the Professional Certified Coach (PCC) level and feel even more deeply connected to my life's calling.
​
I partner with people to create the powerful, purposeful, fully present life they dream of.

​I'd love to hear your story.
Do you yearn for more?
​
Do you want to reconnect with dreams put aside during the busyness of life?
​
Is a life transition taking you in a new direction and you need a thought partner to help figure things out?
Do you feel stuck and unsure of where to start or where to go next?
​I'd love to support you on the next phase of your life's journey.
