A space to (re)align your compass and plot a clear path forward
I coach high achievers who are flirting with burnout or want to proactively avoid it. I combine solution-focused coaching with somatic practices tailored to you (no cookie cutter programs: you deserve more!)
My role—and unwavering commitment—is to meet you with empathy and kindness, honouring where you are right now while equipping you to move forward in a way that feels oh-so-right for you.
You don’t need to do more.
It’s time to do differently.
WHAT TO EXPECT
We meet where you’re at now & honour who you want to become
Come as you are. You have permission to show up fully as you and there’s no need to chase gold stars. All of you is valued—mind, body, soul—and our work sees you as both whole and brave for pursuing the transformation you want to see in your life.
My role as your coach is to listen deeply, ask questions that get to the heart of things, offer practices that support all of you, and serve as an encouraging voice of accountability.
Coaching—like life—is not a linear process. I’ll create a personalized plan to guide our work, but it can shift as you need at any time. We’ll move at a pace that respects where you’re at, always.
Our work has a clear focus: to see you supported and resourced so you can step into your energy and agency, finding a sustainable way of living that fills you up.
Is this you?
You work hard, care deeply, and tend to overcommit
Your identity and self-worth is dependent on your work, roles, and results
You struggle to rest or play without feeling guilty
You’re besties with people-pleasing or perfectionism
You’re hard on yourself (and perhaps on others?)
You feel stuck on a performance treadmill and want to get off
You prioritize others over yourself (and are quietly resentful)
You feel pressure to achieve and it’s killing your joy
You feel disconnected from what deep-down matters to you
How you appear on the outside doesn’t match how you feel inside
You’re tired and afraid of burning out
“Thank you for helping me on my journey to being radiant!”

The Coaching Process
We start here. Come just as you are. We’ll connect for 30 minutes to make sure we’re a great fit and get your questions answered.
We get clear on what’s working, what isn’t, identify what’s getting in the way, and zone in on the outcomes you’d like to see from our work together.
I create a coaching plan tailored to you. We dive in, meeting 1-2x/month for 60 minutes and stay connected via e-mail/text between sessions.
You’ll receive and cultivate practices that support you. I’ll be here for encouragement and accountability as you author and observe your growth.
Throughout the process, we celebrate your wins, reflect on how far you’ve come, and honour the courage it took to get there!
The little things you do regularly add up, moving you positively ahead in the direction you want to go—even when life throws curveballs your way.
I see an energized, confident, well-connected you living with agency & joy

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Both are wonderful approaches to growth and transformation. Coaching focuses on where you are right now and where you want to go (future/solution-focused). Counselling helps you understand where you’ve come from (more past-focused). Coaching is not a substitute for therapy, and I am not a trained therapist.
-
I will show up for you to the absolute best of my ability during each of our sessions. I will provide a welcoming, encouraging, non-judgemental space for you to explore what your path forward looks like. I’m not here to offer advice or tell you what to do: I’m here to ask questions, help you see multiple possibilities, and equip you with tools and practices to help sustain you. I will reply in a timely manner to e-mails and texts between our sessions (during my office hours). I can’t wait to celebrate your wins together!
-
Absolutely! Curiosity means you likely have questions, and part of my obligation-free consult is giving you the opportunity to get those answered (and see what working together feels like).
-
You’re committing to showing up for yourself and taking steps forward. Offering yourself kindness and compassion (it’s ok if this feels hard) in the process. Honouring both yourself and Heather by arriving at scheduled sessions on time (life does life, but please do your best).
-
This depends on what you need. Coaching is a process, not a one-and-done session. Most clients coach with me for 6-12 months, during which time they gain the resources they need to move forward independently (that’s always the goal! As much as I love my clients, coaching is about moving you forward so you have the resources you need without me!)
-
Most likely not. Unfortunately, most benefits programs do not cover coaching (yet!) I hope that one day, this amazing profession will be regulated—meaning that practitioners are held to specific standards of practice—and be eligible for benefit coverage. In the meantime, consider it an invaluable investment in yourself and your future!
