Lovely to meet you…
Hi! I’m Brenda (and this is Bella),
I landed here in Seabright in 2014 with my now husband Matthew. After meeting in Alberta, he brought me out to the incredibly beautiful east coast the year prior.
For the last 10 years, I’ve set roots and have been connecting with and supporting our community and beyond.
Completing my Certified Life Coach training in New York that same spring of 2014, my life was on a new trajectory from the 15 years of financial services I had completed. By that fall, I began connecting with community and teaching yoga at the local Shambhala Centre, where I’ve been honoured to share community practices since.
My own transformational journey to this point in my life has come to be through many powerful life lessons and experiences. As challenging as they have been, I’m grateful for them all because they have made me who I am today.
Every lesson is an opportunity for expansion.
To give you some insight, I overcame addiction twice in my life. First hard drug addiction in my early 20’s, then alcohol addiction in my early 30’s. I walked through losing my father to brain cancer at the same time I gave up the harmful drinking patterns I was stuck in. (What a blessing to be clean to grieve.)
Through years of healing work, I’ve uncovered the core issues of what drove me down those paths. While I’m still a work in progress, like we all are, I’ve healed many aspects of my mental and emotional well-being, which has transformed my life.
I love myself more today than I ever have, and I feel more confident to be my true self.
I often say, “the one relationship you will have for the rest of your life is the one with yourself, so you better make it a priority.”
Working with shamans, coaches, teachers, and healers, as well as my studies of coaching and yoga, have given me vast insights about our inner world and how it influences our outer world, and vice versa.
Now, I serve others in cultivating a healthy relationship with themselves and their life, through the mind, body, spirit, and heart in every aspect of my work.
Join me 1-on-1, in community, or online and I’ll help you embrace your truth and receive all that this life is offering you!
