My Coach Approach:

I practice non-directive coaching (spoiler: I won't tell you what to do, nor how to do it!) & follow the ICF Code of Ethics (Global Coaching Standard) in my practice - we can chat more about what that means in our intro call.

Coaching results are not guaranteed as you're the one doing the work! My role is to hold space for discovery, ask powerful questions, and create safety, encouragement, accountability, & room for uncertainty/not knowing. 

Whether you frame this process as life, leadership, career, or courage coaching - my belief is that our lives are intersectional, brilliant, and messy. There is no right way to live our lives. No defined career or life ladder to follow from graduation to retirement. You don't need to come in with answers.

Your role is to trust the process. Show up as you are. Show up and be present for our sessions. You’re doing the work, but you’re investing in me to guide us. Let go of the process and outcomes. I’ve got that. 

While coaching results are as tailored and individual as my clients, Clarity, Self-Confidence, and achieving things beyond their own expectations are the outcomes most often mentioned. I have some longer form testimonials and client results to share upon request.

Reschedule & Cancellation Policy:

I get it - life happens & things come up! 

  • Feel welcome to reschedule our calls using the link in your calendar 24+ hours before our scheduled call. 

  • Reschedules with less than 24 hour notice are subject to a $50 reschedule fee at my discretion. (I'm pretty lenient. This is a last resort!)

  • Running late? I wait until 7 minutes past our scheduled start time and then log-out!The hour is yours however, so please message if you arrive after that! I'll log back in & we'll use the rest of our time for a streamlined coaching session. Our session will not be extended beyond the regularly scheduled time.

  •  Your time is valuable! Punctuality for your calls is super important to me, and yet sometimes life catches me too. If I'm ever more than 5 minutes late, sincere apologies and I'll add a future session on me.
     
  • No-shows (no advance notice) count as a regular session. Reschedules / refunds are not offered.

  •  All appointments must be booked within six months of the purchase date. Any remaining appointments that have not been scheduled within six months from purchase will expire and no longer be included in this contract.

Coaching is NOT Therapy:

Both can have incredible impact but they are definitely not the same!

In working together, you acknowledge that coaching is not therapy, nor is it a substitute for therapy.  Coaching does not diagnose, prevent, cure nor treat any mental health issue nor medical disease.

If you are currently under the care of a mental health professional, I recommend you talk with them about your interest in coaching.

I have clients who work with both a counsellor/therapist and me as their coach and enjoy the complementarity of these modalities (while also being very clear that the work is very different!)

Unsure if coaching is the right fit at this stage? We'll discuss your goals in our intro call and explore if coaching is a great fit or if you would be better served by another service provider at this time.

I have a wonderful network and am both ethically required and always happy to refer you to someone with the qualifications, knowledge, and expertise required to meet your needs and goals.
