“The Space Within…”
Coaching with Debi (Coach & Mentor)

Personal Coaching
A coaching session involves asking you thought provoking questions until you arrive to the answer yourself.
Educator/Parenting Coaching & Mentoring
With my extensive background and expertise in the field of early years education, I have trained many teachers over the years and I have conducted many parenting skills training sessions.
Tweens & Teens
(8-18 Years)
I have expanded my coaching service to include Tweens (8-12 years) and Teens (13-18 years) based on my extensive teaching experience with these 2 age groups.
Young people today face so many challenges in their day to day lives.I come with empathy, patience and perspective to guide them with the issues they are experiencing in today’s world. Coaching offers this group the time and space to connect their inner and outer worlds and to understand their place within it.
Understand that coaching is not counselling. Counselling is about the past; coaching is what steps we can take today that will impact our future.
I’ve chosen the Zen Circle to reflect my coaching philosophy as it’s a perfectly, imperfect circle, a circle of enlightenment that aligns nicely with one’s life experience. We are not perfect, and each new day gives us another opportunity to become who we are truly meant to be.
This “circle of togetherness” optimally represents the coaching/client relationship. Together, we can unlock barriers or obstacles that may stand in the way of you reaching your true potential.
- Strength
- Togetherness
- Acceptance of Your Inner Most Self
- Elegance
- One Mindedness (in achieving one’s goals)
- Connection
Nothing will stand in the way on your journey toward achieving your life goals.
This circle is not closed because;
We are not perfect,
We are all a work in progress,
There is beauty in imperfection!
How will the coaching process work?
There is power in simplicity. You may have breakthroughs, and this can be very powerful!
Coaching typically consists of a series of sessions, most often bi-monthly, that can last anywhere from 30-60 minutes for each session. Sessions will be conducted through ZOOM. (The number of sessions will be determined by the client’s needs)
