I started this website in 2014 as a blog for those going through job loss to give them some support and resources. I’ve since updated the content with an increased focus on career development.

My focus is working with those who are either unemployed or working and who need help navigating their career path or job search. Many people are seeing this as a good time to pursue their dream, and I couldn’t agree more! I have chosen to do career coaching to help people facilitate this career change process so they can live their dream. Looking at the bigger picture, by people loving what they do every day when it comes to their work and feeling JOY, the world will become a better place.

My intention for my clients is for them to gain clarity about their career path forward, to have effective tools to use, and for them to feel optimistic and empowered about their new journey. Life circumstances or some introspection can cause a career transition. My sincere hope is that coaching with me will help you find your way after getting redirected.

My Work Background

I have 15+ years Human Resources Management experience, and was the Head of HR for the last three companies where I worked. I have extensive recruitment experience for senior roles and have conducted many, many interviews over the last 15 years. Because I worked closely with hiring managers, CEO’s and executive teams for these searches I have a solid understanding of what employers are seeking in successful candidates, and how to continue to be successful in a role. My HR roles were also heavy on employee relations, performance management, employee engagement, and employee development. I found it very rewarding to work with employees on their development and to help them be successful in their roles. This passion for people development has paved my way to career coaching. I now work with clients to help them understand their values, strengths, skills, interests and personality and how they align with a fulfilling career.

I have experienced many ups and downs in my own career from being downsized, resigning because of a values conflict, leaving for a better career growth opportunity, re-entering the workforce after being a stay at home mom for 2 1/2 years, and most recently completing a college program as a 40-something mother of two and starting my own business. I’ve had jobs that I loved, and others where I dreaded going into work everyday. I’m grateful for all my work experiences as it has made me who I am today, and better able to understand others and their work life struggles and triumphs.

I am a certified Career Coach (CCDP) by the Certification Board of the Career Development Practitioners of Ontario and member of the Halton Chamber of Commerce. Locally recognized, Just Got ReDirected Career Coaching was the 2022 recipient of the platinum award for Professional Coaching by CommunityVotes.

My Life Outside of Work

I live outside of Toronto with my family and two guinea pigs. My favorite pastimes besides spending time with family and friends are horseback riding and playing with my horse, Gypsy, doing Reiki and meditating.

In January 2022 I completed my Master Reiki Practitioner training. This advanced Reiki attunement, in addition to other energy techniques I’m building on, make me more intuitive and therefore better able to assist my clients to their highest good. I also completed an Eckhart Tolle “Conscious Manifestation” course to further expand my knowledge, which I then pass on to my clients. I’m continually learning how the laws of the universe work and how we can use them to better our lives.
