My Story

what I’ve been through (and what that means for you...)

 

I started out as a therapist (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy) but, eventually, became a Certified Human Resources Professional (CHRP) working with some of the biggest companies in areas such as labour negotiations, recruitment, mergers and acquisitions, sucession planning etc.. I went on to become a consultant working with CEO's of family businesses when I fell in love with coaching. I went on to work in corporate and executive coaching. Through it all, I dabbled with writing, teaching, and online life coaching and volunteering and let's not forget my roles as wife and mom to a busy daughter and son until I retired. 

​

In retirement things got interesting; living in Costa Rica I spent my days golfing and practicing yoga, and indulging in cocktails at sunset. All was good until I started not wanting to get outta bed. 

​

I was shocked to find out I was diagnosed with clinical depression. How could I be living in the most beautiful place in the world, doing the things I love and be depressed? Well, it turns out, I'd been living with only a part of who I was. Depression was Mother Nature's way of forcing me to face what lurked in my subconscious. 

​

While my story might not apply to everyone, it may resonate with those of you who feel disconnected, who can't decipher their needs, their purpose and can't trust their instincts; for those of us that despite our popularity, the number of likes, followers and friends we have, there's still a foreboding emptiness, lonliness and need of self connection.

 

I did this for myself and I can do it with you!
