My Story

[ Finding the role you were born to play. ]

It all started to feel like a bad movie whose ending I didn’t like — until I discovered the power of personal coaching. I joined a brilliant community of supportive women, mentors, and professional leaders who totally rewired my approach to life, work, and relationships.

I was always healthy and physically active – so I had no reason to worry about my physical health when I found out I was pregnant. Little did I know I’d face extreme difficulties carrying my first born (son) and my second born (daughter) that would cause me to re-evaluate my entire outlook on work, family, and health.

[ Powering through the pain ]

I experienced postpartum depression and pelvic health issues which were misdiagnosed by multiple specialists. At the same time, I was part of a very toxic work environment. I lost the love and passion for my career as a result of the unlimited hours, high expectations, and no mentorship in sight.

It all came to a head during my second pregnancy. I was once again in unrelenting pain, bedridden, and forced to walk away from a new job just 1 week into the position. I was later hospitalized for three weeks to help with pain management – before my daughter was born.I was eager to begin my physio as early as I could and get back to feeling like myself again, by understanding the demands of a newborn, working on survival mode for my daughter, I knew I had to change the cycle that became all consuming.

[ My journey into coaching... interrupted by a cancer scare ]

When my daughter was 4 months old, I decided to take a Coaching program through Creating Realities with my Mentor and teacher Tammy Neilson. It was an amazing experience. But in a tragic twist of fate, Tammy passed away shortly after our program was completed – and a new wound had to begin healing. Tammy’s passing inspired me to keep pushing. I became certified in the Arts and Science of Mindfulness and decided to start my own Coaching practice when I noticed a pain in my chest. I didn’t think anything of it. I live with chronic pain as a result of my pregnancies, but I thankfully did a self-examination and discovered a lump. I was diagnosed with breast cancer which required a lumpectomy and radiation treatment five days a week for two months. It took a little over a year after my treatment completed to feel like myself again.

[ Coming back stronger than ever. ]

 While entertaining to watch, it's difficult to think of our real-life fitting into the perfectly formulated mold of a Hollywood movie.

Once I began to regain my physical and mental strength, I got back, registered back into a Coaching program, and became certified. I found my voice, and my passion and began helping other women like myself, who were feeling isolated, under-supported at work and having difficulty with other major life changes.
