Welcome to Authentic Space.

A place for support and coaching through life’s transitions. You may be looking for support for yourself or for your business and you probably have lots of questions! I’m hopeful that you will find some of the answers below.

Is coaching right for me?

• Coaching is for everyone! It’s a way to explore ideas and feelings in a safe space. Coaching focuses on what is happening now and how you would like your future to be.

• As your personal coach, I will partner with you and empower you to make choices in alignment with your authentic self. This can be particularly helpful when encountering transitions in your life. EG: change in marital status, stages of parenting, work/life balance, peri-menopause and loss.
• As your business coach, we will explore where you are now and where you would like to be. I specialize in helping solo practitioners and small therapy practices. Primarily in the mental health/massage/osteopathy fields.

How is coaching different than counselling?

• Counselling focuses on healing past traumas, while coaching focuses on the present and the future.
• Counsellors use psychotherapy techniques. Coaches use active listening, reframing and reflecting, and exercises designed to help you discover what you may already know. We help give another perspective to your situation and lead you to discover what is best for you.
• Coaches are not here to tell you what to do, rather we guide you through a process of self discovery.

How many sessions do I book?

• Some discovery happens within one session, and you may feel that is all you need.
• Sometimes sessions offer clarity, and sometimes they open new avenues to explore in future sessions. And sometimes, both happens!
• I would recommend to book your first session, and you can decide after that what feels best for you.
