My Story
My journey began in rural Saskatchewan, where I cultivated a passion for learning and growth. With a bachelor's degree in agriculture and experience working in research and for the forestry industry, I honed my technical skills but soon realized the power of personal attributes like leadership, communication, and collaboration.

Transitioning from technical roles to leadership and project management, I discovered the profound impact of personal development on success. My experience also empowered me to establish Norland Brae Farm and a Consulting Business, where I apply these principles daily.
​
My journey into Life Coaching stemmed from a desire to empower others in their personal and professional growth. Leveraging my diverse experiences, I guide clients toward transformative insights, helping them align with their core values, realize their potential, and live fulfilling lives.
Why I Became a Life Coach
In 2017, I faced a pivotal moment in my career, feeling demotivated and uncertain about my path. Seeking support, I worked with an Executive Coach and experienced a profound transformation. I walked away with a different and improved understanding of myself and the world around me. For the next five years, I applied what I had learned and achieved amazing success at work. Where I had struggled before, I was able to shine. And then, as per my new life plan, I retired from corporate life.
There are many endeavors I am choosing to spend my time and energy on during this current chapter of life and one of those is Coaching. Working with a coach had ignited my passion for coaching and guiding others toward personal and professional fulfillment. Realizing the value and impact of coaching, I pursued formal training and completed the Rhodes Wellness College Life Coach Certification. This intensive program, certified by the International Coaching Federation (ICF), equipped me with the skills to facilitate meaningful transformations in others' lives.
​
My coaching philosophy is aligned with my core values of authenticity, life-long learning and growth, autonomy, and making a difference. I leverage my diverse experiences and coaching expertise to support clients in achieving their goals, navigating life transitions, and living authentically. I know from experience that a happier, more satisfying life with out regret is possible!
What is Life Coaching?
Life Coaching is a collaborative process where a trained coach partners with an individual to explore specific areas of personal and/or professional growth. The goal is to achieve desired outcomes that lead to a more fulfilling and satisfying life. Coaching sessions take place in a safe and supportive environment, focused on the client's needs and aspirations.

Benefits of Life Coaching include gaining clarity on goals, enhancing self-awareness, making informed decisions, and experiencing personal growth. The process is client-centric and results-oriented, empowering individuals to unlock their full potential and achieve meaningful changes.
​
Life Coaches may specialize in various areas such as Executive Coaching, Career Coaching, Empowerment Coaching, or Retirement Coaching. While coaches often have personal experience in their chosen niche, they don't need to be experts in a specific field to be effective. In coaching, the client is recognized as the expert in their own life, with the coach providing guidance, support, and accountability along the journey.
