Helping those who are 50+ Rediscover Passion
Live your Purpose. Share your Resources.
Hello, I’m Sophia –
Originally from Ottawa, Canada, I worked for ten years in Human Resources – Organization Development and Training. At 30, after my mother passed away, I moved to Vancouver Island, embarking on a second career as a Social Worker in Child Protection. During these years, I battled with and recovered from addiction issues, learning that people can and do change, that the world is a beautiful place and that people are warm and wonderful. In my 60’s, after retiring for my second time, I completed my coaching certification from iPEC (Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching) and realized my niche, my purpose and my joy. I love helping others to uncover their truth, discover their voice and awaken their spark. Helping you rediscover your spirit and zest for living “full-out” is my mission.
A coach is a Professional Listener.
When I was young, I thought that I was going to be a visual artist. One of my paintings is posted on this page. What I learned when I started coaching was that “my art” is caring about others, listening deeply, to support them make their dreams come truth. The results are extraordinary.
Journey through Transitions
Life is full of transitions – from school to a job to retirement. We pass through birth, family, relationships, marriage, separation and death. These milestones are at times, exhilarating and at times, emotionally draining. Working through emotions in conversation is essential to re-establish balance and well-being.
Break Through Barriers
Sometimes, we are stuck in a rut. We keep repeating the same mistakes, trying something new and ending up in the same place. Every time, we thought, “This time, it’s going to be different”. Working with a coach to ‘deep dive’ into these areas of pain opens the door to release your blocks forever. There is always a way out.
Create Energy for Life
Are you feeling old and hopeless, like you have no energy for your favourite pastimes? You have lost faith that your life will ever be exciting and adventurous again. The secret to a full and happy life is to reach out, prepare to be vulnerable and share what is truly going on in your inner being. The way out is with others.
