Create your journey

“You should write a book!” I hear that a lot. Why? I’ve lived a life full of change, willing to change careers, move to new cities (even a new country), and engage in and reinvent my life. So what? In short, Discovery. This has been a gift that drove me from an early age when I joined a singing group, travelled the world, and later launched a career in the luxury cosmetic industry in product design and production for large global corporations. I thought everyone wanted to change, and boy was I wrong! Change is challenging, change is met with resistance. But if you want to live your best life - meet with a coach and guide your Wayfinder compass towards the change you imagined. Or at least get started on your own Discovery path.

I am passionate about helping people explore change in a fresh way - it’s an opportunity to discover fresh perspectives and reinvision your future!

In the last ten years, I’ve firmly pursued education in several directions. I am what folks call a lifelong learner. Ugh! For me, I am driven to learn and approach life with curiosity and interest.

As a newcomer to Canada in 2002, I was not permitted to work or study for two years. It was the first time in my life that I felt like I didn’t have rights as a woman, or a mother. Once I was able to study and work, I worked hard to reinvent me. Simultaneously, my Mother was impacted by severe dementia, and I went to work keeping my brain busy. I got an MBA and a Master’s of Ed while working fulltime with family and motherhood.

My credentials are: Associate Certified Coach (ACC) through the International Coaching Federation (ICF), an alumnus of Queen’s University Graduate Studies and I hold a Professional Master of Education with a focus on Indigenous Studies and an MBA in Community Economic Development from Cape Breton University. 

My curiosity sparked an interest in brain-based coaching models and became Certified by the Neuroscience Academy, and Certified by the Canadian Institute of Stress. I am a Certified Leadership and Executive Coach from The Academies and have studied stress management and mindfulness for many years.
