Imagine a coach who helps you to really think about your circumstances,
a coach who creates contemplative conditions to tap into your strengths, values and resilience,
a coach who enlightens perspective, providing encouragement as you test new waters of possibility,
a coach who respects your authentic voice while shining light on self-sabotage,
a coach who believes in your deep knowing, your wholeness and your capacity to thrive…
I had the distinct pleasure to work with Janis during her 18 months as wellness coach at Stanford's BeWell Program. In my role at Stanford I have worked with many phenomenal coaches, and Janis ranks among the best of the best. She is the rare combination of someone very knowledgeable about the ins and outs of health and wellness research, and yet is also able to connect immediately with participants as she empowers them to make sustainable behaviour changes…
Janis possesses so many skills that you would want in a wellness coach: wonderful listener, emotionally intelligent, compassionate, nonjudgmental, and warm. She masterfully employs motivational interviewing techniques to help participants discover their own intrinsic motivation to work on meaningful lifestyle changes.

I strongly recommend Janis as an Executive Coach. Janis is a big picture thinker and can help you get to the heart of issues with grace and diplomacy. Janis’ gift is her ability to develop rapport and connection, while challenging you to consider other perspectives and alternative solutions.
Janis has a diverse background - performing arts, hospitality industry, property management, coaching and counselling – all of which come together beautifully in her work with clients.
