Welcome to Living Your Purpose Coaching and Training Centre. Whether you are visiting our website to find out more information about Life Coaching, Life Plans, or our Coach Training, I am glad you are here!

I founded Living Your Purpose Coaching and Training Centre in October 2016, Canada's First Christian Coaching Centre. It was a dream that God had birthed in my heart 10 years prior, but His timing is always perfect.

I also Co-Founded and wrote our very own Christian Life Coaching Curriculum, Coaching as Jesus Coached, along with my granddaughter, Kaylee Shirk.

I am passionate about Life Purpose Coaching because it is such a joy to see women and men of all ages realize their potential in Jesus, be set free, and understand that everyone has a purpose -- that everyone is created for something special. I invite you to take a step of faith and begin your journey of becoming FREE in Christ.

Where it all began

My Life Coaching Journey

My husband, Jack, and I worked side by side for many years running a business together. One of my greatest joys while working was to be sure each and every employee heard about and had the opportunity to build a relationship with Christ. There were many times of reaching out to pray for a variety of needs. I believe this was the start of my calling to become a Christian Life Purpose Coach.

My journey to becoming a Life Coach started when I read Katie Brazelton's first of eight books, Pathway to Purpose. I was intrigued and took her online Coach Training for Levels One and Two, but Level Three would require that I travel to Laguna Beach, California for a full training week with 55 other students and to "Pass Muster" with Dr. Katie B.! I was all set to go, but a few days before my flight, I awoke in the night with a heavy heart that I was not to venture out for that long and that far away from Jack. (We always stuck together!)

In this state of confusion, I wrote Katie a letter telling her that I was not going to come to the conference, but that she could keep my tuition and gift it to another lady at another time. I put the letter in my Bible and went back to bed, falling asleep peacefully fast. When I got up later than usual, Jack was at the table holding my letter and said, "So now...are you going to start listening to the devil?" He continued with, "You know GOD HAS CALLED YOU to this, and you are going! With loving eyes, he slowly tore up my letter, and I am so blessed that he did.

In fact, the past decade has been a Blessing Above & Beyond...filled with Coaching and Life Plans with women of all ages. To describe my feelings, I can only quote what Mother Teresa told Katie in 1988 in Calcutta, India. They were chatting about the work the Missionaries of Charity were doing worldwide, and Mother Teresa said, "It's Pure Joy!" It has been Pure Joy for me to watch the methodical unfolding of my Calling and now the dream that God gave me of opening up Canada's First Christian Coaching Centre - Living Your Purpose Coaching and Training Centre.
