SERVICES
I work directly with you to understand your priorities and to determine your needs.
Together, we reflect on your personal goals as well as your goals for your child(ren), and find real-life strategies for supporting their learning and growth to reach their individual potential.
I always strive to respect personal limitations, values and beliefs,
and understand and acknowledge who you and your loved ones are.

Given that they are needs based and solution oriented, some services may be available as an independent service or as a specifically tailored package based on a completed needs assessment.

"Coaching is a process that aims to improve performance and focuses on the ‘here and now’ rather than on the distant past or future.
While there are many different models of coaching, here we are not considering the ‘coach as expert’ but, instead, the coach as a facilitator of learning.
There is a huge difference between teaching someone and helping them to learn. In coaching, fundamentally, the coach is helping the individual to improve their own performance: in other words, helping them to learn.
Good coaches believe that the individual always has the answer to their own problems but understands that they may need help to find the answer."
