Science-based Coaching to build resiliency for Complex Life Changes
Life transitions bring unique challenges and opportunities for growth. My health and wellness coaching journey started over 30 years ago and draws from my psychotherapeutic practice, healthcare advocacy and personal experiences of caring for both parents who have dementia. Health and Wellness Coaching for Transitions at The Centre for Resilience helps people navigate change, from entering the workforce or shifting careers to caregiving, health challenges, and redefining balance in a fast-paced digital world. The process blends psychotherapy, neuroscience-informed tools, mindfulness, and practical structure to strengthen resilience, focus, and well-being at any stage of life.

Digital Wellbeing for Healthy Living
Technology shapes how we think, feel, and function every day. When it becomes overwhelming, it can strain sleep, attention, mood, and the body’s ability to stay regulated. This part of my work helps clients understand how digital habits interact with stress, resilience, and overall health and what can be done to bring things back into balance.
Clients learn practical ways to reduce digital overload, protect their nervous system, create healthier boundaries with devices, and rebuild clarity and calm. The aim is a steadier, more grounded daily life where wellbeing comes first, even in a fast and highly connected world.
Building Health and Wellness for Longevity
Health and wellness Coaching is tailored to where you are and what you need right now. Together, we co-create manageable, meaningful steps with ongoing support. Your coaching space will be a calm, judgment-free zone focused on growth, balance, and well-being.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Health and Wellness coaching?
Health and wellness coaching supports people in building sustainable habits that protect energy, mental clarity, and emotional balance, especially in demanding, high-stress environments. The focus is on optimizing the foundational elements like sleep, nutrition, movement, stress regulation that directly impact cognitive performance, emotional stability, and long-term resilience.
How is this different from therapy?
Coaching is present and future-focused, centered on behavior change, goal achievement, and habit formation. It does not diagnose or treat mental health conditions. Unlike psychotherapy, which addresses clinical symptoms and past trauma, coaching works with functional individuals to optimize performance and strengthen capacities like stress regulation and decision-making.
What kinds of concerns does this coaching address?
Common areas include chronic stress, burnout, sleep disruption, difficulty setting boundaries, and the cumulative wear of high-demand roles. Also relevant: digital overload, life transitions, recovery from extended caregiving, and the gap between knowing what you should do and actually doing it consistently.
Who is this coaching for?
This service is for adults who want structured, supportive guidance to improve wellbeing and resilience in everyday life.The work is for people who are functional but running on empty, or who recognize their current approach isn’t sustainable.
Do you address digital wellbeing?
Yes. Much of this work focuses on the impact of constant connectivity on the nervous system, attention, and emotional regulation, and on building healthier relationships with technology.
Is this available outside Ontario?
Yes. Health and wellness coaching can be provided virtually to clients in Canada, the United States and internationally across time zones.
