My big question was “How do I create a life in which I am a full-time musician?” During my initial consultation with Catherine, I saw a perceptive and powerful coach. I was inspired to use her services when she made it clear that she expected me to act upon the discoveries we made during coaching sessions in the real world – in my professional and personal life. Unlike my experiences with two previous coaches, I would not be having yet another conversation in my head about issues. I would be taking actions to address the issues in my life. Catherine is professional, clear, precise and generous. Expectations of when, where, and how sessions would be conducted were clearly set and met. I always felt I was the only person in the world that mattered during my sessions with Catherine. She is also highly skilled and effective as a communicator – she listens extraordinarily well and always knew when to check in to be sure I was really getting her communication or that she was getting my communication.

One of the most intelligent moves I make is to on-goingly engage the Coaching brilliance available with Catherine. Catherine has been my Coach for over 6 years now, and I am so much further ahead than I thought I’d be. I have fulfilled so many dreams within the last 6 years out of this engagement that it astounds me to imagine that anyone would not work with Catherine as their Coach. If you’d like to know the benefits of hiring her, or of renewing a Coaching contract with her (time and again), just give me a call! Her talent arises from her great compassion for the humanity involved in the people around her, a compassion that gives those people the inspiration and space to create for themselves the future they only dreamt of. In a life where so often we become our own worst enemy, it is invaluable to have someone believe in your vision for the world, and champion you in the quest to fulfill your dreams.

I realized while working with Catherine that being in motion/action to fulfill on my dream had me be inspired - that being inspired had me be even more in motion/action! The more I created, the more choices that came available to me. I was suddenly less focused on “all” the obstacles – I was in action fulfilling my dream. Catherine powerfully and gently helped me identify my blocks, recognize them when they revisited, provided me with tools to move past them, and the power to maintain the momentum to continue to fulfill my goals. Now I keep choosing my direction. This direction may change everyday or only every ten years (I get to say); once in motion, I am unstoppable!

Catherine is an outstanding and intuitive Coach who is passionate about people fulfilling their dreams and goals. Having her as my Coach, I knew I was with a true and highly trained professional. She brought insight, listening and above all a heightened focus that ensures I stay on my path and accomplish what I set out to do and beyond.

I experienced a high level of integrity and capability hiring Catherine as my Coach. Her insight proved invaluable in how I considered my behaviour and its impact in reaching my goals. Like clockwork, she held me accountable in taking action steps that resulted in me reaching my professional vision sooner than anticipated. It is without hesitation I recommend Catherine as a Coach!

Catherine came into my world during a period of big transitions including change in family relationships, change in locale, and change in my career network. She helped turn possibilities into reality while strengthening my interpersonal relationships through the power of language and openness. With her passion, genuine intent, and focused attention, Catherine gave me the tools needed to live with inspired action. The skills Catherine employs in her coaching are life long techniques I continue to utilize daily. I recommend Coach Catherine highly.

I like to call Catherine my lighthouse, in that I still have to navigate the waters of MY life with MY own choices, but she is a beacon of light to steer by. In the beginning of our Coaching I didn’t see where I was going exactly because I was so detached from myself at the time, but have found my ‘lightness of being’ again. I am grateful for her passion and structure which has helped me to re-ignite my zeal for life. Catherine taught me the value of community in my life! I would recommend her in a heartbeat!

I hired Catherine with the intention of shaping and growing my business. Within six short months, I created a strong business plan, a strong financial base of clients, and a positive office environment. With those creations I became bolder and took risks, successfully passing the GMAT and becoming the Vice President of my business referral network, all while fully engaged with my thriving business. Those were the business results – worth every dollar I invested in coaching. The bonus was what I learned about myself: how to manage my perfectionism to benefit my business (rather than stop me). How to experience “failure” simply as a measure of really having put myself out there – and to see the gap between where I got and where I wanted to be as an opportunity to clarify my actions. Through this experience, I am ready to take bigger risks and have them positively impact my business. Thank you Catherine

Coach Catherine is an ass-kicker: a gear shifter: a tough, compassionate, clear listener who doesn’t give up and doesn’t give in who stands in your court and commits you to win and commits herself, too as she stands right beside you while you reach for your dream and make it come true.

My work with Catherine has been a journey of priceless self-discovery and inspired action.  Catherine was also a great resource - she always had the right tools at the right time - whether to shed light on where I was challenged, or to lay the structures of a solid foundation for my new business.  During our first six months, I clarified that I was actually at work on 9 separate branches of a business! Thanks to Catherine I now value the unique contribution of my services, and have the confidence to move forward with my dreams.  A bow of gratitude for your loving support!

I hired Catherine when I wanted to focus on my business - I wanted to learn more about setting goals, how to improve my sales approach, and how to create a business plan. Consistent with my wish, clarity about setting goals and the creation of a business plan were both realized. What I got, but did not expect, was peace of mind, faith in myself and the future. The real surprise was my identification of what was REALLY important to me and what was missing from my life. Catherine helped me start making changes in my life and my family’s that has already made us happier and brought us closer together. Looking back, I’m surprised at how much we discussed my emotional and I suppose spiritual state of being. Its not what I expected especially...and I just wanted to say thanks for creating such a space for that kind of truth because without it I wouldn’t be where I am now.

I cannot imagine a more patient, positive, passionate or personal Coach than Catherine. She has always made time for me when I needed her expertise in the areas of relationships and communication. Catherine has a knack for being both rigorous and wholly compassionate in her coaching--I have never ended a coaching conversation with her without feeling "new" and inspired. She is able to 'get' me because she genuinely wants to 'get' me. There is no doubt in my mind that if you spend time working with her, you will see extraordinary results in the way you respond to others, and the way you communicate your own goals, dreams, ideas and feelings. I am clear that this is what Catherine is meant to do. She will help you to create a life you truly love. And she will make you feel as though you are the most important person in the world every moment you are with her!

I had the honour and privilege to work with Coach Catherine. She's professional, personable and lovingly kind. Most importantly, she's a tough cookie who stood for me when I didn't feel like standing for myself. Coach Catherine helped me double my business through her creativity and expert business sense. My experience with her also also brought my health, spirituality and relationships to breakthrough levels. Catherine, your beauty is unmatched. Thank you for all you've given me. I'm looking forward to more dreams fulfilled.

I’m truly delighted with the results I was able to create due to your coaching and guidance. Catherine, you listen to me, you motivate me, you encourage me, you empower me to only name a few. And above all you understand me and push me to go beyond what I think I should achieve. With your sensibility you even has us discuss and move forward with goals that I thought impossible to realize.
Isabelle Guay: Owner, Flow Home Staging

Catherine was a clear choice for us both as Celebrant and as MC (for our wedding) because she was, in a significant way, the whole reason Tanya and I found each other. Catherine is an amazing Relationship Coach (and Leadership) who helped Tanya - through conversation - open up to the possibility of meeting someone who fit perfectly into her life. One week later, Tanya and I went on our first date. Catherine is an extraordinary communicator and so she was a natural choice for us to speak our commitment powerfully into being tonight. We can’t thank her enough for her strong support of us as individuals and as a couple. Catherine, thank you with all of our hearts.
