Leadership Coach & Guided Autobiography Expert

I’m a certified Life Coach and one of a handful of Guided Autobiography (GAB) instructors in Canada. With decades of life experience, I specialize in helping individuals navigate transitions and self‑discovery, often through the power of storytelling. For over 40 years, I’ve built a life rich in relationships, learning, and transformation. As a mother of five and grandmother of five, I understand the deep emotions that come with life’s changes.

I’ve worked in public relations, sustainability, nonprofit cultural management, and research science—each path giving me unique insights into human connection and resilience. My coaching integrates my passion for Guided Autobiography, mindfulness, and holistic healing. Through structured reflection, I help clients find clarity, meaning, and renewed energy for the future. Research shows that GAB can increase self‑acceptance, reduce anxiety, and strengthen connections with others—something I witness firsthand in my coaching groups.

I also bring a multicultural perspective, speaking English, French, and some Spanish, allowing me to support a diverse range of clients.

GAB is a structured approach that involves delving into one’s life story with a trained facilitator over ten sessions. Each session focuses on a theme such as career, family, money, or spirituality, encouraging participants to write approximately two pages per theme. The primary goal is to stimulate self‑discovery, fortify resilience, and cultivate personal growth. Pre‑post‑test research shows improvements in self‑acceptance, reduced anxiety, increased energy, a more positive outlook, and enhanced connections with others.
