I am a coach, consultant, teacher, writer, artist and advocate. My mission is to create sustainable, generative, socially accountable change, with groups and individuals.

I’m trained in many coaching modalities — coactive coaching for living with purpose and alignment with your values, neurodiversity, post-trauma growth, organizations and relationships, diversity, interpersonal neurobiology.

All of these have one thing in common: creating a safe, supportive container for people to identify what’s important to them and to develop and enact strategies to make that happen.

I bring my lived and professional experience to every coaching interaction: a late in life ADHD diagnosis, a lifelong commitment to anti-oppression, a PhD in human and organizational systems, 30 years as a consultant doing strategy, team and change work in health and education, my role as Program Lead in a leadership program at the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Toronto, and 20 years as a not for profit leader of a youth program in Uganda.

I’m also a weekly contributor to a popular feminist fitness blog, a collage artist, a runner and a writer. I’ve been privileged to travel to more than 60 countries, many of them on bikes.

I view coaching as part of my life commitment to a world of connection, inclusiveness, equity and shared purpose. As a White, cis-gendered, able-bodied, queer and neurodivergent human, I have a fierce commitment to lifelong learning about what it means to be an ally with Black, Indigenous, racialized, disabled and trans people. As a coach, I commit to working with clients in ways that acknowledge and honour their diverse identities and lived experience, and which recognize the impact of oppressive structures.

My commitment as a coach is to create a safe, non-judgmental, completely confidential space to explore what is most meaningful to you, and to support you in locating your creativity, resourcefulness, confidence, courage and wholeness.
