Mind * Body * Spirit

My journey in life has brought my seeker’s soul on a path of discovery and learning that I am very grateful for. I'm convinced that we are not created to “play small". . .  that we all have, within us, a special calling to live into the fullness of who we are, with what we are uniquely here to offer the world. We simply need to tune in and come home to ourselves to make that discovery. What makes us come alive is unique to all of us. Life becomes an exciting and holy adventure when we realize that we are all Co-Creators in designing the life we want to be living. It is a honour to support and empower my clients to Live By Design.

I see my own life journey as a teaching and healing ground for who I am today. We can all choose to respond to life circumstances or continue to react  in a way that not only blocks us from living into our highest good, but actually robs us of our joy and passion for life itself.  "Reacting" to life is quite an unconscious way to live. Life is a passage of constant learning. We all get off track and out of alignment with the truth of who we are at times, especially in seasons of great stress. It's our conscious awareness that can bring us back. It is my awareness of my own humanity and commitment to growth and evolution in my personal inner journey that makes me a natural fit for the work I do.
 

And  so . . . My venture into Conscious Life Coaching Services felt quite divinely orchestrated and Spirit guided - an organic evolution, based on my past life/work experiences, education, passionate interests, search for truth and spiritual journeying. Back then, the coaching field was new. Most people had not yet heard of it and the word "conscious" was certainly not the buzz word that it is today. Once I completed my training, Conscious Life Coaching Services was the Spirit-inspired name that was given to me for my coaching business over 20 years ago. I had no idea at the time that adding "Services" at the end would allow me to later venture into diverse related fields and equip myself with a broader range of tools to expand my work. . .  all with the same mission in mind ~ returning people home to themselves and helping them remember the truth of who they are before the world taught them to forget.

This work feels very much like a "call" for me . . . a call I feel privileged to be living out. I truly consider it an honor to do the work I do ~ both grounded and practical, as well as soul-centered and intuitively guided. I have a special place in my heart for those who are willing to move into their truth and hold a high regard for my clients self-discovery and authenticity. It takes courage, I know.  And in the end, the Truth will set you free . . . in ways you could not have imagined. Once you begin to put things in motion and allow yourself to "tune in", coaching can be a fun, creative, expansive process, full of synchronicity that feels like magic. I've seen this over and over again with clients.
 

I am passionate about supporting others in their journey to fulfillment, as they become empowered to live a life of authenticity. Living authentically means living in alignment with who you were created to be; before you were taught to forget. This is where the joy and delight of life reside! Living from your core divine essence is about remembering who you are, being congruent with that truth and moving in the world from this inspired place. Coming home to Self ~

I am often guided by intuition in my work, blending practical and grounded approaches to help people break free from old limiting beliefs that keep them stuck. Have you ever felt there's so much you want to do, yet something seems to hold you back from moving forward? By becoming conscious of how we "get in our own way," we increase our freedom and power to CHOOSE in the present moment and in the future, living life as the resourceful, brilliant and whole creatures that we are. This is our birthright! And what a privilege it is to witness people tapping into their own inner wisdom and potential. 

I feel my extensive, varied work experience and educational background have all helped to hone and refine what I bring to the coaching field today, as a Holistic Conscious Life Coach, Intuitive Spiritual Mentor and Retreat / Workshop Facilitator. 

I developed a breadth of professional experiences across a diverse career trajectory, before moving into coaching. Among these roles, I worked in radio as a Promotion Director, and also had my own "Lifestyles" feature, which aired daily. I've also worked as a Writer and Editor and as an Event Planner/Manager. 

Later in life, I felt called in a new direction and returned to school as part of my spiritual journey, spending five years of study at a theological seminary, where I also studied in the counseling field. This experience deepened both my understanding and my evolving spiritual path. For the next ten years, I worked as the Director of a Counseling Centre. I did alot of public speaking and walked alongside many people, sharing their stories and the human journey. This was a natural bridge to the coaching I do today and to my desire to work with people in a different way. Coaching is NOT therapy, but it IS very therapeutic. My chosen niche evolved into holistic wellness ~ Mind/Body/Spirit consciousness. 

I received my life coaching training through a reputable institution affiliated with the International Coach Federation. Over these 20 plus years, I have continued to expand my tool box with additional trainings and group coaching processes, including training to facilitate retreats, as well as somatic, ecstatic dance events, as a Certified "Dance Our Way Home" facilitator. "Dance Our Way Home" is a somatic/ecstatic, soulful experience created by a psychotherapist, as part of the healing and expressive arts.  (See my services for more detail)

I very much enjoy creating experiences that are designed to bring people to "stillness", for that is where we are best able to hear the beat of our own drum. Whether that's through my nature based eco-therapy experiences, solstice/equinox gatherings or somatic dance, creating sacred spaces for personal and spiritual growth to support others on their path of awakening is my greatest joy. My events are created to bring awakening, refreshment, nourishment, renewal and rejuvenation to mind, body and spirit, holding space to come away from the busyness of life to silence within the soul.
