HI I'M JANINE
I am trained and certified Co-Active Coach with a focus on mindset. Although coaching is a very action-oriented process and involves getting into motion, I also help my clients focus and learn how they are 'being and thinking' in their lives. How we think is at the core of how we show up in the world. Our thinking patterns determine how we feel about ourselves, the world and what we are able to accomplish. I help clients better understand the internal mental programs that they run that impact their lives externally. I use evidence-based coaching tools and neuroscience strategies blended with Positive Intelligence, 'The Work' of Byron Katie, and techniques used in Co-counseling. My approach addresses the mind, the body and the spirit.
I know that if you are here reading this that there is something in your life that is not flowing. Is it lack of passion? Lack of money? Do you hate your job? Do you feel blocked? Maybe you just feel lost. There is a myriad of reasons that you're here but it all comes down to the same thing. You want CHANGE.
Hallelujah, you're in the right place! A coach can be the perfect match for this predicament. And between you and I.... this excites me because I adore transformation. And yes, a transformation isn't always easy but when you're ready to birth something new a few contractions are worth it. Trust me. I believe that everyone has the ability to transform and a lot of what holds us back is our thinking and our blind spots. I think of coaching as a well-placed mirror for our blind spots. When you can see into your blind spots your view is expanded and now you have an opportunity to make new and powerful choices. And although you may be able to make changes on your own, it's different when you have a partner and a guide. It's just like when you try to do your meditation or exercise practice at home alone and you struggle but find it easy when you go to class. We, humans, are funny that way.
​
That's why you want somebody on your team, someone to listen, witness, someone who points you forward when you might want to turn back and someone who holds you accountable to YOUR values and ideals and cheers you on along the way. Someone who believes in YOU! That is why I became a coach. Okay, it's selfish but I want to see you soar!

I LOVE positive transformation in people, in nature and life in general.
I have devoted most of my life to creating healthy change in myself, and healthful conscious ways to live on our planet. For the last 23 years, I have been dedicated to teaching people to design and create non-toxic, beautiful, healthy living spaces that are in harmony with their own needs and the earth's resources.
I see coaching as a deeper dive into the world of health and well-being. It is about creating alignment and flow within ourselves. One of my roles as your coach is to help you align yourself with what is most important to you (your values) and what lives in your heart (life purpose) so you can flourish and live your dreams. I think of this re-alignment as a chiropractic adjustment for the soul.
If each of us were able to really live the life we dream of, I am positive that our stress levels would be reduced, our hearts could open and this would have a positive global impact on our life, our loved ones and the planet.
​
I am so excited to be on this journey of helping others breakthrough and take FLIGHT!
