Certified life coach for Tweens, Teens & young adults

Did you know
you’re awesome?

Let’s shine a light on what makes you YOU. Build confidence and gain the perspective needed to feel connected to your innate awesomeness, and learn to love and trust your journey.

Whether you’re facing big life choices or just trying to make sense of it all, I’m here to help you navigate the paths and be a sounding board on your journey.

What is youth coaching?

Coaching is your space to explore what you want to create in your life. It’s about having a partner who’s there to cheer you on, helping you to discover opportunities and tackle whatever life throws your way. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach—it’s all about your voice, your choices, and your strengths.

Hi, I’m Coach Colleen – Rooting for Your Self-Discovery

When I’m not working with clients, you’ll find me playing hockey, coaching youth sports, indulging my insatiable curiosity with an audiobook, or exploring the beautiful mountains, lakes, rivers and forests I get to call home with my dog, Kaya.

I am a coach, a co-creator in problem solving, a pattern finder, a sounding board, a confidant, a catalyst for change and an encourager along your journey.

I’m here to be curious together, to help you dig deep, explore your ‘why,’ and lean into the incredible person you are. My approach isn’t about quick fixes—it’s about lasting change, creating a space where you feel seen, heard, and excited by the possibilities in store for you. I strive to ensure you leave every session feeling capable to take on the rest of your week. Together, we’ll make the tough stuff less scary and the good stuff even better.

Happy Clients

As a neurodivergent person, Colleen was the perfect fit to coach me through my career goals ... Colleen’s vulnerability and her positive energy created a psychologically safe environment … I was able to create goals and break them into achievable pieces, and create micro-habits to sustain progress.

Colleen’s coaching style makes you feel like she is really there to help you achieve your goals and never pushing you in a certain direction but helping you identify what you truly want.

I had the pleasure of working with Colleen on my journey to discovering a new career path … We identified my specific strengths and passions, and used that to create a vision for my ideal career. This resulted in a complete career re-invention and an increase in salary by 30%.

Colleen has a unique ability to connect with young people, providing them with the tools and confidence they need to navigate the challenges of adolescence…We continue to see growth in our daughter! We highly recommend Colleen to any parent seeking a dedicated and skilled coach to guide their teenager through this critical period.

I learnt so many different life skills like time management, confidence, decision making, and many more. I really enjoyed the way everything was explained and how supportive Colleen was. I handle stressful situations so much better and am very glad to have the chance to work with Colleen.

My child has gained a newfound sense of self-awareness, confidence and resilience, and I’ve seen a remarkable improvement in their overall attitude and motivation. My daughter has been able to identify what she needs and ask for specific support. We both feel like our communication with each other has improved.

Hey, Parents!

Your kiddo is growing up and entering those tricky teen years where it feels like they need you (and listen to you) less and less. You’re so proud of them and the independent human they are becoming. And you’re excited and supportive—maybe a little nervous— as they start to explore their newfound independence.

Our coaching helps bridge the gap between the support you want to offer and what your kiddo is willing to receive. We create a confidential space where they feel safe to embrace the process, to listen and grow. Together, we’ll help them find their own path, while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands.

Let’s discover what makes you, you.

We’ll work together to get you where you want to be, without the pressure to be perfect. By cutting through the noise of ‘should be’ and ‘should do,’ let’s find what makes you tick, so you can fully embrace your own creative, original, and clever brand of human.

You’re in the right place if any of these resonate with you...

It’s tough to tell who you are through all the noise – the media, friends, and expectations – but you’re ready to see beyond that and find your true self.

You feel like you don’t fit the mold of the ‘shoulds’ and expectations of others.

You want to make a difference in the world, but you don’t know where to start.

It feels challenging to share your experience with friends, and you’re ready to unpack it all in a safe space.

You want to unpack and explore what you really want and step into who you’re ready to be.

You’re approaching big life decisions and transitions, unsure of your next step.
