A Life-changing Moment Looking
Death in the Face
My mentor and mother passed away after an almost 20-year battle with cancer.
In the early 1990’s she was told to go home and ‘make arrangements.’ Being the
stubborn, determined person she was, she ignored that advice and instead went
to school, becoming a Doctor of Natural Medicine. She learned all she could
about what her body was doing, but she was sometimes too ill to attend, so I
would go with her or attend in her stead.
We were asked in 1994 to attend an information session to explain to ten terminally ill individuals
how she was still alive and vibrant. When we arrived, there were 110 people packed into the living
room and spilling into the yard, all clamoring to hear what we had to say. Our Alternative Health
business was born that day; what grew from that resulted in eight clinics across western Canada and a
million-dollar business.
When she passed in May of 2007, my world ground to a halt. I could not imagine looking at death or
disease within the body again. All of my gifts were packed in boxes and placed in the basement, buried
as much under grief, denial and fear as they were under seasonal decorations. I returned to corporate
management and worked my way into HR. I loved coaching employees; having the honour of being
an observer to someone’s transformation is truly where I am living in my highest purpose.
In 2014, I found a way to marry my gifts and talents, and I became a Certified Coach. Adding to
my Nutritional Training, Livecell Certification, Personal Training Certifications and Management
courses, I finally felt qualified to share the things I had worked with for so long.
It is a beautiful, but sometimes precarious dance between Client and Coach – to offer tools to
assist as individuals get ‘stuck’ while allowing space for the client to decide what they are ready for
and what they want. While I have tools to offer, my client gets to pick the ones to work with as we
co-create a package.
I share this as a way to show no judgement between coach and client. I personally know fear, death
and love. I am a young mother of grown children, a loving, sometimes crazy wife, a best friend and
a business woman. I have experiences that exceed my years. I offer a safe space to explore areas of
growth in your life that you may not have considered without skillful questions. Supporting your
greatness, creating lasting change through conversations, result in TIMELESS IMPROVEMENTS.
