Why life coaching with Jen?

With more than 25 years of experience as an educator, district leader, and five years as a life coach and mentor, I’ve dedicated my career to helping people move forward in school, work, and life.

​

My background includes curriculum leadership in career education, STEM and ADST, athletic coaching, and community leadership. I attend conferences to stay connected to emerging career trends, the changing world of work, and the skills people need to thrive. My experience as a parent of a high-performance athlete competing in the United States, along with years of community involvement, has further strengthened my understanding of leadership, resilience, adaptability, commitment, and the importance of supportive relationships. ADHD factored prominently in my family life, for as long as I can remember, so I am well attuned to the challenges and strengths of those with ADHD. 

​

I bring specialized training and practical experience in Values-based Decision Making, Universal Design for Learning (UDL), inquiry and project-based learning, attachment styles, ADHD, autism, diverse learning needs, and trauma-informed practice. Together, these experiences help me recognize individual strengths, understand different pathways, and support people in finding practical, meaningful ways forward that are unique to them.

​

But what matters most is that I understand how easy it is to feel stuck, behind, or unsure of what’s next and how powerful the right support can be in changing that.

I work with motivated young adults (18–25) who are ready to stop spinning and start moving. Together, we focus on:

  • getting clear on what you actually want

  • breaking patterns that keep you stuck

  • building confidence and self-trust

  • creating real, sustainable change using brain-based and practical strategies​

My approach combines evidence-based life coaching and ADHD coaching with engaging elements of brain science, somatic awareness, humour, inclusivity, and real-life perspective sharing. Creating safe and supportive spaces empowers individuals to show up for themselves and others consistently which empowers them to face life's challenges with clarity confidence, and self-trust. 

 

As far as perspective goes, I've got that in spades! I've been on many sides of this experience - educator (teacher, coordinator, a stint in administration), from an ADHD family, experience in both the public and private sectors, and, most notably, I’m a parent of two young adults on very different paths each with their own dash of ADHD spice. I've got a real-world lens on all sides of this transition for young adults and for the parents supporting them.

If you’re ready to stop second-guessing yourself and start building momentum, let’s talk.
