Travel can be much more than a vacation! A well-planned trip can help stretch us, shape our identity, and boost our well-being.

My area of specialty as a travel coach is to work with people wanting to travel deeper and with more meaning. Maybe there is a life change you are facing, maybe you want to make a change. Travel may be the answer you’re looking for as you define your next chapter!

Join me, and we’ll roll up our sleeves and craft an unforgettable and intentional travel journey.

Is travel coaching for you?

Answer yes to any of the following, and this might just be a match made in heaven.

You want MORE from your travel experiences.

  • You are more than a cookie-cutter tourist — you are after extraordinary “travel bliss” experiences.

  • Big groups and tour buses aren’t your thing, DIY is your preferred style even if it seems daunting.

  • You are ready for something different from previous trips - a solo journey, a milestone adventure, or simply your next best trip.

    You feel “stuck” in a life transition and want to journey (literally) into your next chapter with intention.

  • You’re a new empty-nester, heading into retirement, or hitting a milestone birthday and asking yourself what’s next?

  • You’re new to the idea that travel is a power lift for well-being….OR you already appreciate the transforming power of travel and want to take your intention up a notch!

  • You are a multi-passionate person spinning your wheels seeking direction and purpose and you prefer to be celebrating a new phase in life with intention.

    You need some planning SUPPORT & INSPIRATION.

  • There are so many places on “your list,” but you don’t know where to go next and question yourself along the way.

  • You are spinning your wheels and not able to make any decisions.

  • You read travel blogs and guidebooks but see the value of talking with someone, bouncing around ideas, and getting answers to your specific questions.

    You would appreciate some guidance about GETTING TRAVEL VALUE.

  • You want to get the best value for your travel dollar and limited travel time.

  • You may have dabbled with travel rewards programs and are ready to start earning and using them strategically.

  • You want to learn tips and tricks to get your budget to go further so you can splurge on the things you really care about.

FAQs

  • “Travel coaching is more about the why of travel than about the logistical and geographical details. It’s about maximizing the experiential and transformative power of travel to forge a new way of living and being in the world.” (Fodors Travel, 2021)

    With coaching, you will gain clarity about your deeper purpose and gather the tools to be well prepared to find:

    -uncommon, personalized options and the must-do activities (for you),

    -the perfect place, pace, and space,

    -ways to maximize your trip before you even depart,

    -what will help you best achieve your travel goals.

    Fuelled by my passion working with the science of well-being, I support travellers to focus and foster opportunities to boost well-being. I’m also a big believer in nudging out of your comfort zone at your own pace and aligning travel activities to your ultimate travel goal.

  • I am NOT a travel agent and won’t make any bookings for you.

    - But I do love to share my best tips, tricks and tools to help your journey happen with ease.

    I am NOT a counsellor, therapist, or life coach.

    - But travel can be transformational and we will talk about how your life, values, and motivations influence travel outcomes.

  • I value travel deeply and know it’s power for personal development! I have used travel to navigate my own way through recent transitions: kids leaving home, peri/menopause, and retirement.

    My career as a community developer, planning strategist, facilitator and adult educator has filled my “toolbox” with skills that are applicable as a travel coach. I’ve been described as an enthusiastic optimist with a gift for creative problem solving. My “superpowers” include:

    1) research followed by cutting through the overwhelm to get to the heart of things, and

    2) empowering others - turning dreamers into “do-ers.”

    Be warned: working with me will include honest conversations, deep belly laughs, and a practical plan!

    1. Schedule a quick chat and if we are a good fit, I’ll help you choose the coaching package that fits your timeline, needs and budget.

    2. We will set up a series of zoom sessions to work together.

    3. In between sessions, be prepared for some thinking, reflection, and decision work!

    4. I’ll provide a summary of our sessions and curate helpful tools for your trip.

Travelling solo and looking for the support of a small group experience?

  • Go Solo & Thrive: sort of like solo travel with training wheels

    In a small group, prepare for and design your first solo journey with the support of a friendly, encouraging group of women who are ALL newbies to solo travel.

    Prefer the safety net of planning in the company of (new) friends? Identify the purpose of your trip and plan in the online group. Then take your own inspired, authentic, and empowering adventure - solo (with training wheels). We’ve got each other’s backs!

I'm curious, interested, and want to know more!
