Life Coaching & The Becoming Method

For when you're ready to create what comes next.

You don't have to be grieving or recovering from trauma to know something in your life needs to change.


Life coaching is for people navigating change, feeling stuck, rebuilding after a difficult season or simply realizing they're ready to live with greater clarity and intention.


The Becoming Method is an approach to life coaching and personal growth. It brings together self-awareness, mindset, personal growth and practical coaching to help you understand where you are, where you want to go and who you're becoming along the way.

Life coaching may support you with:

◈ Navigating major life transitions
◈ Rebuilding confidence and identity
◈ Understanding patterns and mindset blocks
◈ Gaining clarity and direction
◈ Reconnecting with yourself and what matters to you
◈ Creating meaningful goals and taking intentional action
◈ Building a life that feels aligned with who you're becoming

12-Week Grief & Trauma Coaching Program (H.E.A.L Method)

For deeper healing, structure, and ongoing support.

My signature program. A personalized 12-week journey where we move through the four pillars of the H.E.A.L Method — with support that is fully tailored to your story.


With weekly coaching sessions, guided tools, and real support, this is not a one-size-fits-all program. This is your healing — on your terms — with someone who truly understands what you’re carrying.

Together, we work through:

◈ Emotional patterns and trauma responses

◈ Nervous system regulation and emotional safety

◈ Grief processing — in all its forms, not just loss of a person

◈ Mindset shifting and breaking internal patterns that keep you stuck

◈ Identity rebuilding after loss, change, or life disruption

◈ Reconnecting to yourself, your voice, and your sense of self

◈ Processing complex, layered grief (including loss without closure, addiction, or estrangement)

◈ Creating meaning and purpose after everything has changed

◈ Learning how to live — not just survive

This is deep, supported healing — built around you. Not rushed. Not forced. Not one-size-fits-all.
This is where you are met exactly where you are… and gently supported as you begin to rebuild a life that feels like yours again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are the most frequently asked questions About Grief & Trauma Coaching 
  • What does a Life Coach do?

    A life coach supports you in understanding where you are, what you’re experiencing, and how to move forward in a way that feels aligned with who you are becoming.


    At Hope & Healing Co, life coaching goes deeper than goal setting or surface-level change. It’s about helping you navigate real life — especially when things feel uncertain, overwhelming, or not the way you thought they would be.


    This can include:

    • Working through emotional patterns and mindset blocks
    • Navigating life transitions and identity shifts
    • Rebuilding after grief, trauma, or loss
    • Gaining clarity, direction, and a stronger sense of self
    • Learning how to move forward — not just function

    Life coaching is not about fixing you or telling you what to do. It’s about creating a space where you can better understand yourself, reconnect with who you are, and begin to build a life that feels like yours again.

  • What is The Becoming Method?

    The Becoming Method is my approach to life coaching and personal growth.


    It focuses on understanding where you are today, reconnecting with yourself, identifying patterns or beliefs that may be keeping you stuck and taking intentional steps toward the person and life you want to create.

  • What does a grief coach do?

    A grief coach supports you through the emotional, mental, and personal impact of loss — in all its forms.


    At Hope & Healing Co, grief coaching isn’t about “fixing” you or helping you move on. It’s about helping you understand what you’re carrying, feel supported in it, and begin to find your way forward — in a way that feels right for you.


    Grief isn’t always about losing someone.


    It can also be:

    • The loss of who you used to be
    • The loss of a relationship
    • Ambiguous Loss
    • Loss connected to addiction
    • The loss of the life you thought you’d have
    • Trauma that changed how you experience the world
    • Feeling disconnected from yourself

    As a grief, trauma, and life coach, I walk alongside you as you:

    • Make sense of what you’re feeling
    • Process grief and emotional pain
    • Understand trauma responses and patterns
    • Reconnect with yourself and your identity

    Learn how to live again — not just survive

    This work is not clinical or one-size-fits-all. It’s grounded, human, and built from lived experience.


    You’re not being guided by someone who only studied grief — you’re being supported by someone who understands what it feels like from the inside.

  • Do I need to be experiencing grief or trauma to work with you?

    No. Grief and trauma coaching remain an important part of my work, but they aren't the only reasons people come to me for support.


    Life Coaching and The Becoming Method are also for people navigating change, feeling stuck, rebuilding confidence, seeking greater clarity or intentionally deciding what they want their next chapter to look like.

  • What kind of grief, trauma, and life experiences do you support?

    I support individuals navigating many forms of grief, trauma, and life disruption — not just the loss of someone, but the loss of what once felt certain, stable, or familiar.


    This includes:

    • Loss of a loved one
    • Loss connected to addiction — including loving someone who is struggling, or grieving the relationship that once was
    • Loss of self — feeling disconnected from who you used to be
    • Complicated or unresolved grief — grief that feels stuck, layered, or difficult to process
    • Trauma-related loss — experiences that have changed how you feel, think, and move through the world
    • Loss without closure — including disappearance, estrangement, or unanswered questions
    • Ambiguous loss — when someone is physically present but emotionally or relationally gone
    • Identity loss after major life changes — such as relationship endings, health challenges, or significant life transitions
    • I also support individuals navigating trauma that may not always have a clear name or single moment attached to it — including:
    • Emotional trauma from ongoing stress, instability, or life events
    • Relationship trauma, including betrayal, abandonment, or disconnection
    • The cumulative impact of multiple losses over time
    • Feeling constantly on edge, overwhelmed, numb, or shut down
    • Patterns of over-functioning, people-pleasing, or emotional burnout

    This work is about helping you make sense of what you’re carrying — whether it’s clearly defined… or something you can’t quite explain yet.

  • What if my grief feels too complicated or overwhelming?

    That’s more common than you might think. Grief can feel layered, confusing or difficult to put into words, especially when it involves multiple losses, trauma, ambiguous loss or circumstances without closure.


    Grief and trauma coaching offers a compassionate, judgment-free space to explore what you’re experiencing, better understand what you’re carrying and begin finding a way forward at your own pace.

  • Is coaching the same as therapy?

    No. Coaching and therapy serve different — but equally important — roles.


    Therapy is clinical and may focus on diagnosis, treatment, and mental health support.


    Coaching is non-clinical and is not a replacement for psychotherapy, diagnosis, medical care or mental-health treatment.


    If what you're experiencing falls outside the scope of coaching, I may recommend seeking support from an appropriate regulated health professional.

  • Do you offer online coaching?

    Yes. I provide online life coaching, grief coaching and trauma-informed support to clients across Canada and worldwide.

  • What makes Hope & Healing Co. different?

    This work is not built from theory alone. It’s built from lived experience.


    From real loss. Real heartbreak. Real moments where everything fell apart — and I had to find a way to keep going.


    I know what it feels like to carry grief that doesn’t have closure. To navigate trauma that changes how you think, feel, and move through the world. To lose not just people… but parts of yourself.


    This isn’t surface-level support. And it’s not one-size-fits-all advice.


    You’re not being guided by someone who studied grief from a distance. You’re being supported by someone who understands it from the inside.


    Someone who will sit with you in the hard moments — not rush you through them. Someone who won’t try to fix you — because you’re not broken.


    Someone who knows that healing doesn’t mean “going back”… it means learning how to move forward with what you’ve been through.

    This is real, grounded, deeply human support — for the parts of your experience that don’t always have words.

  • How much does Grief, Trauma & Life Coaching cost?

    Support options vary depending on what you need.


    Options include single sessions, 1:1 coaching programs, and self-paced resources.


    The best place to start is with a complimentary connection call, where we can talk through what feels right for you.

  • How do I get started?

    You can begin by booking a complimentary connection call. This is a private, no-pressure conversation where we talk about what you’re going through and explore what kind of support might feel right for you.


    You don’t need to prepare anything. You just need to show up as you are.
