I grew up in a small prairie town, raised in a single-parent household—an unusual situation in the 1970s. Neither of my parents excelled at the role, so in many ways, I felt like I was raising myself.
I was a shy, insecure boy, tall and thin, surrounded by athletic kids who had been shaped by the demands of farm life. I was different but didn’t understand why.
Academically, I was average. My interests felt fleeting—what I once enjoyed, like swimming, I quickly outgrew.
While many boys were obsessed with hockey and baseball, I was drawn to fashion and aesthetics. Beneath it all, I carried a deep well of frustration, largely due to my unstable home life.
Emotional support was nonexistent—it was the '70s, after all. I longed for escape and took it the moment I finished high school.
Directionless, I drifted through university, eventually earning an Arts degree that did little to open doors.
My 20s were marked by frustration—first working in retail, then in a low-level government job. It wasn’t until I returned to university at 28 that things began to shift.
I discovered my love for facilitating workshops and training, which led to a 25-year career in the labor movement. I had always been a late bloomer, and this chapter of my life was no exception.
During that time, I found yoga, a practice that became a gateway to exploring energy work and healing modalities.
Teaching yoga became an extension of my passion for facilitation, and soon, I was training and certifying yoga teachers, running a small studio, and diving deep into soul-purpose work.
I helped others tap into their inner spark, guiding them toward their soul-aligned path. Over the years, this naturally evolved into my coaching program.
Coaching has been a revelation. It has unlocked a level of resourcefulness in me that I never knew existed. Now, I work primarily with midlifers who feel stuck—especially when it comes to their careers.
I help them move through uncertainty, break free from limiting beliefs, and design lives that offer more freedom and fulfillment.
My dharma is to teach, coach, and heal—to awaken transformation in others.
There is nothing more rewarding than witnessing someone reclaim their purpose and step fully into their next chapter.
I believe joy is our birthright, and I am committed to helping others find theirs.
My spiritual journey has been a continuous thread from the early days of my yoga practice to today. I am a lifelong learner, always evolving, always growing.
I reject the traditional concept of retirement—it feels more like a social construct than a necessary milestone.
Science supports the idea that those who stay active and engaged—especially in soul-aligned work—live longer, healthier, and more fulfilling lives.
My coaching approach is rooted in this belief. I specialize in helping midlifers navigate career transitions, particularly those who, like me, find themselves at a crossroads.
I know what it’s like to feel trapped in golden handcuffs, staying in a job that no longer serves you, waiting for the right moment to make a change.
I consciously chose to stick it out until I could access my pension, but I knew that once I reached that milestone, I had another two decades ahead of me—two decades to grow, to create, to serve.
I am grateful for my past career. It provided stability and invaluable lessons. But now, I get to build something even more meaningful.
I want to help others do the same. If you’re ready to design the next chapter of your life with intention, I’d love to work with you.
Let’s map out your next years—and decades—together.
