Areas of Support / Specialties

Troubled by anxiety and/or panic attacks?

Research has shown that hypnotherapy can help relieve stress, fear, and anxiety. It can also be used to help in coping with the symptoms of panic – Very Well Mind.

Our goal in working together, in a co-active and collaborative manner, is to support your healing process to overcome your struggle because of a history of trauma or adversity.  We can reignite the natural empowerment and resiliency you have within you for effective, sustainable recovery. These are private 1:1 sessions and incorporate a combination of hypnosis and coaching.

My support includes loss of someone through a MAiD provision, COVID19, or other circumstance.

Does your grief feel all-consuming? Or, perhaps you aren't feeling overwhelmed but need a little bit of support.

Is there a part of you which is holding on to resentment that you wish you could let go of? Or, are you attempting to decide whether to forgive someone who’s hurt you? Would you like to journey in your life a little differently?

Imagine how wonderful it would be to recover from pain and sadness that often comes after the loss, whether it's through death or of a relationship.

Combining strategies from coaching and/or hypnosis (either or both), you can successfully find release from the pain of loss and rejection, leaving you free to build a bright, positive future for yourself. This powerfully, profound technique has helped so many to recover, not only from the pain suffered from romantic relationships, but also from hurts caused by friends, children or relatives, and even the loss of a pet, job, etc.

Women’s Issues & Concerns – Do you struggle with life changes personally, professionally or physically?

When it just feels so overwhelming and whether you are nearing or at the end of your rope, know that you can learn new coping strategies that are relatively easy and quick.  My thoughts go to anxiety, weight loss/gain, hormonal changes, care of aging family members or an ill spouse or child, sleepless nights, new motherhood/parenting/co-parenting, relationships, work, and more.  There are a lot of demands on our lives. If any of this sounds like you, and you want to resolve these issues gently and easily, or you feel compelled to know more, contact me and let's talk.

Men’s Issues & Concerns –  Do you struggle with anxiety, self-esteem, career issues or relationship problems?

If you’re hoping to create positive change in your life, then I’m glad you’re here considering hypnosis and/or life coaching.  Reclaiming one’s life can be accomplished by learning new coping strategies for many life challenges.  Some of these challenges may include sports performance, intimacy issues, cancer care/prostate surgery, fear of flying, assertiveness, becoming a father/parenting/co-parenting, fertility issues, miscarriage, loss and bereavement.  If any of this sounds like you, and you want to resolve these issues and feel compelled to learn more, contact me and let's talk.

From 1988 to 2017, I offered business, career and job transition support through contracts in community20-minute as an instructor for Fanshawe College, and 1:1 for clients privately. Given the impact of Covid19, I am once again offering support in this area so that you can move forward.

Career and job transition - Looking for work? While I do not offer a list of employers who are hiring, I will assist with updating resume and other job search documents.  If needed, we can explore interview preparation.  Anxious or nervous about any part of job search? I can help with that through a combination of hypnosis and coaching.

 Entrepreneurs and consultants – My approach is to focus on and emphasize what is right with the client instead of what is wrong. I have been a self-employed and contract "employee" for many years which means I have some insight that may be useful to you. My personal belief is that clients already have the strengths needed to make desired changes.  It’s a matter of finding, bolstering, reigniting and energizing those strengths.

It doesn't cost anything to book a free initial 20-minute general enquiry/consultation with me to explore your current situation.

My role as an End-of-Life Doula is supporting you and your family in answering the question "What must I do to be at peace with  myself so that I may die gracefully?" 

I also provide support for those thinking about or preparing for MAiD. This includes addressing any emotional issues like fear of death and finding peace to completing affairs of one's life. Grief and bereavement support can also be provided. 

 My End of Life Planning services support you and your loved ones. My comprehensive consultation and Advance Planning sessions make it simple to document your desires.  Legacy Work includes leaving a memorial like a memoir (short book or booklet), personal essay, anthology of life stories, or alternatives like the scrapbook or multi-media or other visual presentations to preserve one’s life story.

 After Death: Completing Life Matters & Affairs -  During this emotional time, you might be concerned with the details  necessary to complete the affairs of your family member's or friend's  life. I offer compassionate and efficient support for the tasks of life completion. Working with decision makers after a death has occurred, I  offer a range of services including making notifications to government  agencies, household account name changes, updates and cancellations, assisting with disposal of medications and returning rental equipment.  Fee: $45.00-$95.00/hour; please book a general enquiry (free 20 minute consultation) to discuss details including package rates. 

As a qualified and experienced life coach and hypnosis practitioner, I work with women and men who are really ready to make positive change in their lives.

Personal and individual development – In my experience clients have benefited from individual, private sessions including guided meditations, visualizations, introductory or progressive hypnosis sessions, as well as learning self-hypnosis and meditation.  Consider a discovery session (1 hour) if you’ve never experienced personal hypnosis or coaching before.

Caregivers, family and service providers (formal and informal) – Health and well-being for our caregivers is vital. I offer individual, private coaching, meditation, guided imagery, hypnosis sessions as well as small or large group sessions. Some of the benefits of guided meditation and/or hypnosis especially for health care workers include: feeling relaxed, gaining more energy and work ability, able to better deal with workload, help with stress issues, a positive effect on work and leisure time.

Corporate executives, leaders, and teams – Working with small and corporate businesses, I provide customized programs for individuals or groups. Formats such as individual, private hypnosis/coaching sessions and small or large group guided meditations, visualizations, imagery and/or introductory hypnosis sessions are an excellent addition to existing professional development and training and/or leadership coaching activities.
