Meet Cate FAQ's
Life coach living in Nelson BC, Specializing in authenticity.
 

Hey there, I’m Cate!

I’m a life coach who specializes in deep transformation for women who crave more joy and fulfillment in every area of their busy, messy beautiful lives:

  • career

  • parenting

  • relationships

  • creativity

  • entrepreneurship

Transformation would be so much easier if your life was Pinterest perfect. But we both know that’s not reality. Life is steady stream of situations that, if we let them, can roll over the top of us.

Things like— caring for young children or aging parents, navigating career or financial stress, parenting teenagers, dealing with difficult coworkers, or navigating a pandemic. Let’s be honest, the heaviness of these things can make it seem like wanting what we want is selfish.

Becoming the woman you want to be is not selfish. It’s an act of love that lights up the world right now and for future generations.

  • If you’re tired of telling yourself to “suck it up” or “count your blessings” or “it could always be worse”…

  • If all you seem to have the energy for at the end of the day is a big glass of chardonnay and Netflix…

  • If the career you used to love now feels like an emotional circus…

  • If you’ve tried to set and reach goals but always get derailed by life and career obligations that seem more important…

We should visit and see if transformational coaching would be a good fit for you.

I love helping my clients tune into their values and own their value—so they can step boldly into the best version of themselves…

Because life is too beautiful and brief to stay stuck, wondering what could’ve been.

 

 

 I’m devoted to my clients…

Your sessions will feel like relaxed conversations but make no mistake…the a-ha’s and insights you gather along the way will feel cathartic. As your coach, I’ll gently guide you through the process of anchoring into your truest values—some of which may surprise you. I’ll help you peel back the layers of your time-worn excuses so you can evaluate personal and professional tangles through the lens of opportunity. You’ll enjoy trying out new techniques—with me by your side—to start seeing your life and the situations at hand with refreshing optimism and confidence.

 
 
 

Transformational coaching can help you live with more peace of mind, purpose, and pleasure in every area of your life!

 
 

My professional background and formal coaching credentials:

  • I have university degrees in Phys-ed and Drama because I love acting AND health and wellness. They are both journeys of self-discovery (I didn’t realize that at the time).

  • Prior to starting my business, I worked in the fitness industry—managing a team, developing and teaching programs, educating and training fitness professionals. I saw examples of strong and courageous leadership as well as armoured and dysfunctional leadership. I couldn’t thrive in this environment and was faced with the difficult choice of staying in a secure job with benefits, etc. or leaving to follow my heart. I left.

  • My coaching certification is from ICA (International Coach Academy)—their ACTP program (the most robust program you can take). I’m an ICF PCC credentialed coach.

  • I obtained my Deep Transformational Coaching Certification from The Center for Transformational Coaching and Living. I am now a Learning Leader for both the Life Coaching Basics program and the Deep Coaching Intensive at the Center.

  • I’m a graduate of Google’s Search Inside Yourself Program.

  • I’m a Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction for Teens Facilitator.

  • I’m a certified Daring Way™ and Daring To Lead™ facilitator which means I teach workshops and host transformative group experiences (for individuals and in corporate settings) founded in the research and methods pioneered by Brené Brown.

  • I’m PCC certified which means that I have hundreds of hours of experience and I am bound by a Code of Ethics and Core Competencies through the International Coach Federation.

  • I’m a trainer at Canada Coach Academy, supporting coaches in obtaining their ACC credentialing with ICF.

  • I’m a Certified Mentor Coach which means I help other coaches increase their skills and confidence so they can grow thriving coaching practices.
