Hey There!

I have been a substitute teacher for over 15 years.  While I have enjoyed doing it, I know that I am ready for something else.  It wasn't until the loss of my husband that I really knew what that something else was.  That something is Coaching.  

How I Became A Coach

In January 2017, I lost my life partner to a sudden, and unexpected heart attack.  My world changed in a nanosecond.  This experience catapulted me into survival mode, and drove me to make a life-changing promise to myself.  I no longer wanted to waste my life doing things that didn't matter to me.  I wanted to do what would make me happy.  No more living for others' expectations.  No more fear and indecision.  No more waiting!  I was going to use my life experiences to help others going through something similar.  

​

Once I felt committed to doing this, I started to research alternatives to teaching.  What else could a person with a teaching degree do?  Enter The Flourishing Centre, and Positive Psychology.  Positive Psychology is the study of human flourishing.  Instead of focusing on people's dis-ease, it focuses on people's strengths.  "Moving from an exclusive focus on distress, disorder, and dysfunction, positive psychology shifts the scientific lens to a concentration on wellbeing, health, and optimal functioning." (The History of Positive Psychology)

I took a 6-month Positive Psychology Practitioner Course that dubbed me a "Change Agent."  I loved the content, and couldn't get enough of it.  So, I took two more courses, through the same company, and became a Resilience Trainer, and Positive Psychology Coach.  That was 2018-2021.

​

Since then, I have...

​

  • taken training through Hospice Services to become a Grief Guide

  • done a Conscious Parenting course with world-renowned wisdom teacher and clinical psychologist Dr. Shefali Tsabury

  • attended a Self-Compassion workshop with pioneering self-compassion researcher and psychology professor Kristin Neff

  • participated in expert Life Strategist Tony Robbins'  famous Unleash The Power Within (UPW) high intensity 4-day immersion workshop 

  • listened to dozens of personal growth podcasts

  • read many books on all things centred around personal development 

 

I have a passion for learning about human behaviour, and a fascination with neuroscience, and brain health.  I do this for myself as much as anyone else.  I believe I deserve inner peace, contentment, and to feel whole within myself.  I believe everyone else does too.  And so, I have made it my mission to figure it out, and pass it on to you.  

​​​

The things I am learning are so exciting!  I can't wait to help you achieve inner peace and empowerment, backed by the work of the most celebrated minds in the field!

    I would love to hear from you!
