Express yourself * Know yourself * Trust yourself * Accept yourself
"What does it mean to hold space for another? it means to allow the other to exist as is. To honour the other to be as is. To validate the other to be as is. to witness the other to grow as is. To accept the other to live as is. See no lack and resist nothing. This can only occur when we hold this space for ourselves first."
~ Dr. Shefali Tsabary
Life Coaching
I believe we truly hold all the answers to our perceived challenges and problems inside. We are all perfect, whole, complete, creative, knowing, and resourceful individuals and sometimes just need a partner to help tap into this inner well of wisdom. I have the questions, you have the answers. When one feels deeply heard in a safe, loving, lion-hearted container, it spontaneously leads to new awarenesses and solutions and forward movement.
In a world that increasingly challenges children's emotional and mental health, Life Coaching offers children the opportunity to reconnect with their imaginative spark, liberate their creative energy, and empower them to navigate the ups and downs of life with greater resiliency and joy. Helping children to strengthen their connection with their inner wisdom at a young age enables them to move through life with greater trust, awareness, and clarity. Coaching provides children and youth with tools that will help them become productive and fulfilled adults, living with purpose and on their unique path. Playful tools, creative prompts, as well as opportunities to express through movement and creativity will lead children through some of the following areas:
Emotional expression and release
Discovery of one's Divine Design
Making decisions that are in integrity with oneself
Moving forward in the direction of goals and dreams
Building a toolbox of coping strategies and ways to come back to Self
Developing self-compassion
Developing self-awareness of and greater alignment with who you BE.
​
Life Coaching aims to help children find their own North Star and share their gifts
with the world.
While Life Coaching helps children build skills so they may step into adulthood with a deeper connection to Self and a clearer sense of direction, adults will also benefit from many of these coaching strategies as their inner child may need to be seen, witnessed, and allowed a voice that was not available to them when they were younger.
​
In addition to the ones listed above, some areas of further focus for adults may be:
Learning to re-parent yourself and meet your own needs to release others from expectations
Navigating relationship dynamics from a place of self-responsibility
Uncovering and shifting patterns and belief systems that no longer serve
Deepening your authenticity and connection in relationships
​
Wherever you would like to go in the coaching session is where we begin. I take your lead.
Sometimes you just need a different perspective.
Nature is a powerful guide and ally.
​
There is nothing like sitting by a river when needing to express deeply held emotions. Or standing on higher land when setting new goals or intentions. Simply being in the energy of trees, flowers, water, birds and other living creatures, positively impacts our sense of well-being and calms our nervous systems. Sometimes individuals need to move their bodies in order to loosen and allow for the flow of awarenesses and next steps. Sometimes an expression feels too big and loud to be contained within four walls. And sometimes, if one learns to listen, the natural world shares her perspective on our perceived obstacles.
For these reasons, coaching sessions are also offered at pre-determined natural spaces
in the Dufferin County area.

Gratitudes
I want to thank you for our session. You were supportive, patient listening, kind, and insightful. I felt heard and seen. I felt that in what you said [in our session] you were seeing the essence of what I had been saying and the overarching picture, encapsulating everything very succinctly with a higher perspective wisdom eye that was also grounded in the body!
