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!
