Transformational Coaching & Mental Wellbeing | Leadership & Executive Coach | Behavioural Change Coach | Career Coach | Life & Wellness Coach | M.Ed.
I am an EMCC accredited Coach at Senior Practitioner level and ICF accredited Coach at ACC level with nine years of experience in coaching. So far, I’ve worked with 110 coachees, held 570 coaching sessions, and logged 460 hours of coaching.
I am passionate about empowering individuals to grow personally and professionally. Through my coaching practice, I support the principles of humane leadership, working with diverse clients worldwide across various industries and roles. My goal is to make the world a better place, one step at a time, by fostering growth in people, regardless of their organizational position. I believe everyone is both a leader and a follower.
As a Transformational Coach, I help clients embrace life's inevitable shifts—whether it’s balancing work and life, managing stress, building emotional resilience, or stepping into new leadership roles. My coaching is adaptable, from single sessions to long-term partnerships, always tailored to empower authentic growth and self-awareness while navigating professional challenges.
Since beginning my coaching practice in 2017, I’ve had the privilege of working independently and with organizations. My background includes a Master’s in Adult Education, minors in Psychology and Social Psychology, and training in Cognitive Behaviour and Transformational approaches. My personal journey through Yoga further enriches my holistic perspective and deep commitment to wellbeing. Before my coaching path I worked nine years in higher education, specifically focusing on leadership programs.
Over time, I’ve evolved from using the structured GROW model to a more authentic and intuitive style—meeting clients where they are and honoring their unique stories and aspirations. I strictly uphold confidentiality and adhere to ICF ethical standards, integrating my backgrounds in education, yoga, and therapy to create a safe, compassionate space for transformation.
If you are ready to discover your inner strength, embrace change, and create a future filled with possibility, growth, and fulfillment, I would like to help.
