A bona fide life is a life that is authentic to you. It is intentional and dynamic. You’re constantly learning about yourself, often digging deep to figure out what drives you. You’ll challenge the stories you tell yourself and the feelings that come up for you, face your fears and be vulnerable, and identify patterns that aren’t working for you. This takes courage because it’s not always easy, but it is a life-changer.

Transformational coaching is reflective, exploratory, and completely client-led, so one client’s experience could vary significantly from another’s. This type of coaching allows for exploration of the client’s cognitive, emotional, sensory, and relational patterns, which creates the awareness necessary to initiate transformative shifts, to unlearn limiting beliefs or conditioned behaviour, and to live a bona fide life.

There is no quick fix and I’m not going to tell you what to do with your life, but I will help you uncover what you’re looking for.

While there are many similarities between the two, the biggest difference is that therapy tends to look at the past and how it’s influenced the present day, whereas coaching is more forward-facing with the focus on transforming the future. 

I strongly suggest that if you are currently in any kind of therapy, to please inform your medical or therapeutic practitioner of your intention to work with a coach.

I have a BA in Honours Psychology with a Human Resources Management Option from the University of Waterloo (Canada), as well as an Accredited Diploma in Transformational Coaching from the Animas Centre for Coaching (UK) (accredited with the International Coaching Federation and the Association for Coaching) and a Certification as an Intuitive Eating Counsellor with the Original Intuitive Eating Pros, Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch (US).

In addition, I am committed to continually developing professionally, as well as personally, through my own work with a coach, a therapist, and a supervisor.

All sessions take place online. As such, I am open to clients anywhere in the world!

A large component of Intuitive Eating is learning to listen to your body’s signals; your body is constantly sharing information with your brain, but you’re not always aware of the messages. Think about it: we are all born with the ability to identify hunger – when babies are hungry, they cry, and when they are full, they stop nursing. Somewhere along the way, some of us were conditioned to trust external cues, rather than our bodies. If a primal signal such as hunger can’t be identified, how easily would it be to identify other needs and wants?

My purpose is to help you consciously create the life you want and Intuitive Eating is a potential starting point in learning to listen to yourself – not just your body’s signals of hunger, fullness, and satiety, but also your thoughts, beliefs, and feelings.
