Here’s a bit of a testimony from a man I’ve been Mentoring: I don’t say this lightly: Alex changed my life.
I help people open their hearts, live with purpose and create the relationships they truly desire through my Private Retreats and Personal Mentorship. I too have lacked trust, peace, clarity and guidance, I too have felt full of pressure, fear, shame and unfulfilled expectations. I know how hard it can be. Yet I also know the path to breakthrough that, to genuinely heal and let go of whichever constraints we’ve been living with. If you’re willing to go deep enough and notice the teachings life’s giving you, I’ll be able to help you. Monthly availability is limited. Email me to apply. This can be the year where everything changes.

I specialize in helping people who struggle with anxiety, depression, stress, parenting, relationships and life transitions, infertility and pregnancy loss, relationship or marriage struggles. We, humans are born as WHOLE beings, we are worthy of love, we crave attachment, safety and connection. Sometimes we experience life events that may make us feel: stressed, angry, lonely, hurt, or unworthy of love. Having experienced trauma, infertility, loss and grief in my personal life, I know what it feels like to feel stuck, helpless, and worst of all, hopeless.

Feeling overwhelmed and questioning yourself is a common part of life. You may find yourself struggling with feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt. Some days, you confidently embrace the person you want to be, while others, you feel like you're barely holding it together. There are moments when you might feel lost, without hope, or uncertain about your path. Stress, anxiety, fear, anger, and even depression can weigh heavily on your relationships, work, and self-esteem. You have a deep desire for more in life, even if you're uncertain about how to reach it. It's essential to know that you're not alone in your journey.

So, dear woman, if you find yourself in a time of transition in your life, I would be honoured to be your companion and help you reconnect with your own inner-wisdom and guidance.
There are times of transition in women's lives that can leave us feeling stuck, unfulfilled, overwhelmed, or disconnected. The greatest area of growth the women I work with experience is the ability to transform these periods of transition into possibility. Transitions can be uncomfortable, yet they are inevitable rites of passage and necessary to your growth and expansion as a human being. The good news is that by moving through them mindfully, new choices and options are unveiled, allowing you to create the life that you are most deeply yearning for. The question is, what will you choose?

You don't have to do it alone, I'm here to support you in making meaningful change, in your relationships, sexuality and life.
Relationships can be complex and navigating them can feel daunting, to say the least. When a relationship has been in a state of disconnection for a period of time, it can feel impossible to even know where to begin. It could be that you seem to have the same argument over and over again, your sex life has fizzled out, infidelity, general life changes that have impacted your ability to connect. Or maybe you just feel bored and unsatisfied. I work with people of all genders who are interested in improving their relationships and/or sex life, no matter where they are at.

Life Coaching Counsellors

What can I expect from life coaching?

Clients and coaches will typically start by identifying the problem area(s) that the client hopes to address—then, the coach will help the client brainstorm potential solutions and explore concrete techniques to help the client attain their goals. Coaching is typically short-term and focused on finding solutions in the here and now, rather than exploring a client’s past. In addition to strategies aimed at the client’s specific concerns, coaches may encourage general stress management techniques such as meditation.

Can a life coach help treat anxiety?

Because the majority of life coaches are not licensed clinicians, they are not qualified to diagnose or treat anxiety. Anyone struggling with anxiety or another mental health condition should seek help from a licensed mental health practitioner. However, some coaching clients who struggle with subclinical anxiety report that working with their coach on other problems—such as career dissatisfaction or unhealthy habits—has a positive effect on their anxiety.

Can life coaching be done online?

Yes. While life coaching often happens in person, many coaches conduct sessions over the phone or via online platforms such as Zoom or Skype. Because life coaches are not subject to local licensing regulations in the same way that therapists are, they are able to see clients who live in other locations.

How long does life coaching last?

Life coaching tends to be a shorter-term process than therapy, though it does not always unfold over a specific period of time and is instead based on the coach’s or the client’s preferences. Coaching often takes place over three to 12 months but may be shorter or longer if necessary.
