LET’S REACH YOUR GOALS TOGETHER
Healthcare is such a unique world that those outside of it can’t fully grasp what it is like ‘behind the scenes’. I help health care providers and leaders navigate personal and professional transitions.
After 25 years in healthcare, I completed my Master’s degree in Leadership at Royal Roads University. But, I was still seeking my purpose. I didn’t feel like I had found my passion or my path.
As a lifelong learner with a strong growth mindset, I found myself doing deep dives into whatever job I had. Feeling like I didn’t belong and then moving on, and up the ladder every two years.
During my Master’s Degree, I was working full-time, and my two daughters were in middle school and high school. I changed jobs three times – once during the pandemic! Each time I shifted gears, I felt a pull and synergy that I was following something deep inside that compelled me to take the next leap into the unknown. Each time, I found new strength in myself, to let go of past hurts and limiting beliefs. I found teachers and guides to help me along the way.
As a new manager in a small care centre, I found myself struggling with applying my knowledge, ideals, and vision for overcoming our healthcare system struggles, as well as helping my team through the challenges of COVID. I needed support! I was fortunate to work for an organisation that supports its leaders. I was offered 1:1 coaching. I leaped at the opportunity to connect with someone who understood healthcare and leadership.
Healthcare is such a unique world. Those outside of it can’t fully grasp what it’s like ‘behind the scenes’. Coaching allowed me to learn about myself and rediscover what I needed in my life, things I had given up over the past five years. I refocused my energy on my yoga and meditation practice. I found ways to ‘habit stack’ to help build my resilience. By learning about my triggers and stress response behaviours I was finally able to reconnect with my passions.
One of those passions turned out to be coaching. I love the coaching experience with every core of my being! I found myself applying coaching habits to my everyday interactions in life and work. I interviewed for another job in hopes of working with other healthcare providers to develop their leadership skills and was told, “you have the experience and leadership we’re looking for, come back when you have your coaching certificate.”
I was shocked at the insight that someone could see in me. I could see clearly that each step I took over the past few years of my life felt true and led me to where I am today. Looking back, I could see the path that I took. The choices and sacrifices I made along the way led me here to this moment.
I discovered that we’re not seeking our purpose so we feel complete. It’s not about the ‘destination’. We’re walking our purpose every day with the choices we make. Our habits, our routines, and the rhythms of our life. Our path is connected to who we touch, who we teach, and who teaches and touches us.
Following that experience, I researched and found a wonderful coaching college at Rhodes Wellness College in Vancouver. I dove into experiential learning and immersed myself in a growth mindset. I was ready to become a life coach. I’m happy to say that I continue to work as a manager as well as coach to healthcare providers within my health organisation. I’m thrilled to build my own coaching business to reach more healthcare providers seeking purpose, passion and resilience in their lives and careers.
