I create a safe space for you to be yourself, access your wisdom and unleash your full potential
I am a fully certified coach from the University of British Columbia and the International Coaching Federation. I am known for being warm and non-judgmental, yet direct. During our intentional conversations, we will address the heart of the matter and get meaningful results.
With over 20 years of business experience as a consulting actuary, leading teams and coaching colleagues and clients, I have observed and influenced a broad range of human behaviour and organizational systems, which will enrich our coaching conversations.
I am passionate about self-improvement and inspiring others to be their best selves.
I have had great success in helping my clients feel empowered and energized to move forward. I feel most alive when I help others connect with who they truly are, lead with courage and make decisions that are aligned with their core values.

My journey to remember who I am
Let me bare it all so you know why I do what I do...
I was born a little girl full of light, looking to fully express myself. However, as a child, I found myself surrounded by people who were not emotionally available in the way that I needed them to be in order to feel safe and supported. This was compounded by being bullied at school and a lack of empathy from teachers.
I developed unhealthy coping mechanisms and I forgot who I truly was.
Fast forward to 2002, when I embarked on a journey of self-discovery. My first step was to take full responsibility for my life choices. I have worked with several coaches, therapists, teachers and healers to peel back the layers of survival behaviour and remember my true essence. I have learned to be there for myself, connect with my heart and have the courage to just be.
Sometimes in life you need someone else to see your potential and create a safe space for you to open up and be yourself.
Everything in life is an opportunity for learning and growth. When I practise acroyoga for example, I learn how to face my fears, communicate with my partner and find the edge where there is an opportunity for the greatest growth while keeping myself safe.
As I continue to grow into a better version of myself, coaching fills my soul because I can share my learnings with others. The main thing I have learned on this journey is that everything starts with yourself. That’s why I founded Master You. When I am myself and open my heart, it is easier for those around me to do the same.
I am excited to find out what is possible for you once you reconnect with your wisdom, gifts, strengths and powers.
