Personal Coaching is a method used to help people obtain what they want most in life. With a socratic, curious, approach, we use questions to identify what hidden blocks, fears, and limiting beliefs keep us feeling stuck and unable to move forward.
It is meant to be a fun, empowering, and positive experience without adding morality to the mix. It is unbiased and compassionate in nature, and is effective with people who suffer from anxiety, overwhelm, guilt/shame, and minor depression.
I believe that the answers lie in the realm of our ‘blindspot’; the area of our life that we ‘don’t know that we don’t know’. When we take time to speculate what’s possible, new openings for action appear.
As your coach, I am an extra pair or eyes and ears. I can hear what you can’t hear, I see what you can’t see, and I can teach you how to overcome your own inner demons and fears so you can experience more power, freedom, and joy in life.
I am also your accountability partner. I will make sure you honour your promises to yourself, learn to trust yourself again, and provide clarity on what is truly important to you.

I teach and coach couples on how to fix their marriage and be happy with the one they are with by helping them get in touch with what they truly want, and what is causing the pain and suffering and create accountability to ensure positive results are achieved. Couples often see immediate results often in the very first sessions.
Coaching is all essentially about aligning your thoughts, emotions, and actions in order to achieve a specific result. In Coaching, couples feel safe to share their needs, desires, and emotions because they are empowered to speak freely with respect, curiosity, and a win-win mentality.
We start by getting clear on your personal goals, what improvements you would like to see, and work together as a team to create a harmonious, passionate, and peaceful co-existence. Although the intention is to affect the relationship, we look at all areas of life including health, hobbies, self-care, and family.

Therapy focuses on mental and emotional health while coaching focuses on growth, achieving your goals, shifting your mindset, and taking accountability. While coaching is action and solutions-oriented, therapy is insight-oriented.
Therapists can assess, diagnose, and sometimes treat mental illness while coaches do not. These include depression, major anxiety, trauma, addictions, PTSD, etc. Coaching is not covered under insurance benefits because it is not considered ‘healthcare’ since the focus is not on treating an illness and falls in the category: personal growth and development.
While the focus in psychotherapy is more on healing from the past, coaching is more focused on identifying fears and obstacles in order to achieve specific goals, creating new healthy habits, learning skills and techniques to let go of the past, old resentments, emotional wounds and start the process of healing and forgiveness.
Counselling is great for people who need a sounding board to find clarity, to allow oneself to express and experience emotions. However, it does not include advice, accountability, or learning new strategies.
The above differences are generalizations and do not apply to all therapists and coaches. In reality, the differences between two psychotherapists or two coaches may be greater than the difference between a coach and a therapist, depending on who they are. In order to assess fit, it is recommended to meet with several professionals to find one that fits your intentions and personal communication style.

1. I’m a Certified Life Coach and I have 20 years of experience in the self-development/coach space. I have studied applied human potential, growth mindset, leadership, goalsetting, neuroscience, hypnosis, conflict resolution, and spirituality that brings forth a profound feeling of freedom, love, and clarity.
2. I am also certified as a Forgiveness Coach, Inner Child healer, and Energetic healing practitioner with the ability to re-program and re-balance the brain using the subconscious mind. I draw from my toolbox what is needed based on my client’s objectives and unique challenges.
3. I walk my talk; my own life is proof that these methods work. I have caused hundreds of miraculous breakthroughs in every single area of my life. I was once a perfectionist who didn’t trust herself or others and hid her authentic self from the world for fear of being rejected. I know the courage it takes to take on your life and transform every area of life, such as family relationships, money, self-worth, health,and leadership to have more happiness, joy, love, and purpose in life.
4. I have been happily married for 18 years to my best friend, and our marriage is my greatest achievement and blessing. I share real-life, practical, and proven strategies to gain the desired outcome for my clients quickly in months. (not years!). Being married takes work but it doesn’t have to be hard, frustrating, and it doesn’t require you to lose yourself in the process.
5. My special gift is my compassion for others. I am able to create a safe and healing space for those experiencing deep pain and suffering. I also know what it’s like to go through a painful divorce, the moral dilemma, and have deep empathy for those that are feeling hopeless and how to come out of our darkest moments intact, with power, peace, and mutual respect.
6. My 99% success rate with my clients speaks for itself. (check out my Google reviews!) What is remarkable is the speed at which progress and results are evident. This is because I am masterful at listening to what isn’t being said through my intuition and expertise. Also, because I do not bring morality into my coaching. In this space, we do not traffic in right/wrong, good/bad, blame, and fault.
7. I have experience in working with infidelity both professionally as well as personally in my own family and past relationships. I have deep compassion, understanding and empathy for both people and have witnessed the true power of love, forgiveness, and compassion. I believe any marriage can be saved if both people are willing to work together to move forward, let go of the past, and embrace forgiveness and love fully.

I think it’s important to ensure that our values align to ensure the best possible outcome. I believe that:
1. There is nothing wrong with you, your partner or your relationship. You are just two people with different upbringings, values, beliefs, and expectations. So naturally, you may seem like you’re not speaking the same language and tend to get your lines of communication tangled. We will work together to untangle it and develop a new way to communicate.
2. It’s not your fault that your communication sucks. We were never taught in school how to listen to understand. We were taught to listen in order to react, defend, and justify. It’s all automatic in how we respond.
3. The healing of your relationship starts with the healing with yourself. Most of us have feelings of unworthiness, guilt, and fear. Most times, when we are triggered by our partner, and get upset, it points to a childhood experience that our partner reminds us of, which has very little to do with our partner.
4. Blame gets you nowhere. People make mistakes. We are all human after all. Mistakes require correction, not punishment.
5. There is so much power in honest vulnerability. It is not something to be feared or avoided. When we can set our ego aside and and be honest with ourselves, huge shifts occur. How can it not?
6. There is ALWAYS hope for reconciliation and happiness as long as the commitment and humility is there.

If you’ve tried a whole bunch of ways to fix your marital issues and have been unsuccessful, it is normal to be skeptical, uncertain, and even resigned.
Oftentimes, couples come to see me after seeing a therapist for years and years with very little to show for it. The best way to find out for certain if my services would provide the is to book a free Clarity Call with me so you both can experience what it’s like to be coached by me. I hold nothing back in my sessions with my clients and so what you see is what you get.
The best indication of success is the level of commitment to doing the work. You get out what you put in. If you put in 110%, you will get that back … and so much more. We will go beyond what you THINK you know is possible.

Generally, I meet with clients virtually over Zoom. It allows me the flexibility and convenience to work with clients from anywhere in the world and can offer extended late-night hours for busy parents and weekends.

I work with many different people with different challenges and goals. In addition to my marriage coaching services, I also work with individuals who:
- Are unhappy with their life and feel stuck or at a crossroads and are looking for clarity and confidence to take the next step
- Individuals going through a major life transition whether it be relationships, career, health, or a mid-life crisis. They are also often looking to heal old emotional trauma that is getting in the way of their peace and happiness
- Ambitious high-achievers who are successful in many areas of their life, yet they feel unfulfilled, restless, and ready to discover the next mountaintop to climb.
- Big dreamers looking for a bad-ass Accountability Partner to help them reach their big goals and cheer them on along the way.

Although I am Catholic, I do not coach based on faith. In my coaching style, there is no morality: there is only what you want and what has integrity for you. Morality makes what possible very limiting so although I do believe in God and naturally include God and my spirituality in my own work, I am able to create a context around “love” for those that better relate to that context. After all, God is love so to me, it’s all the same.
