I am a working professional with a background in health care, counseling and ministry. I spent the first few years of adulthood working as a registered nurse in a small northern Ontario town called Attawapiskat, before moving to British Columbia for a couple of years. After that I spent more than ten years living in China working with a not for profit international, multicultural, organization. During those years my three kids came along, I had many unmet expectations, I had to change my occupation from what I knew to something new. I experienced both a good deal of chronic stress, as well as burnout and the long journey through it. 
I have always been a people person. How that looks has changed over time but the passion to see people living from a place of wholeness and well-being, has never changed. It is what motivates me to do my job well.

Coaching is a great way to help people through situations many of us find ourselves in, in every day life such as transitions (changing jobs, retirement, life stages, shifting values etc), life changes (relational, social, spiritual, physical etc), and cross-cultural experiences (stress, burnout, transitions, debriefs etc).
As an ICF certified coach, I believe you truly have the wisdom within you needed to do whatever it is you want to do. Whether that is to make changes in your life, gain some insight and understanding about your own thoughts, beliefs, or values, or learn new skills so that will enable you to be more comfortable and competent in your job. Enabling others to recognize, draw on, and value their own intuition and abilities is something I find to be exciting, energizing, and motivates me to do my job well. The journey can be hard but, the reward is worth it.
