Coaching focuses on setting goals, creating outcomes and managing personal change. Other service professions, like consulting and psychotherapy, are based on the wisdom and expertise of the professional. In coaching you —the client — are the expert. Your coach’s role is to ask powerful questions, act as a sounding board, provide objective assessment and observations, listen fully and actively, challenge your blind spots, and foster shifts in thinking that reveal fresh perspectives.

Coaching is not:

Mentoring: Unlike mentoring, which offers advice from personal experience, coaching helps clients tap into their own inner wisdom to chart their path.

Therapy: Therapy addresses mental health and past issues, while coaching focuses on future solutions and growth.

Consulting: Instead of offering strategic advice like a consultant, a coach partners with clients to enhance clarity and help them find their own solutions.

Note: In addition to our coaching services, we do offer courses and mentorship.

Holistic Coaching empowers "the whole person" to reach their full potential in all areas of their life encompassing the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual levels.

At Related Wellness, we embrace the term "wholistic" to reflect our alignment with Indigenous ways of knowing. This perspective emphasizes our interconnectedness with all life—both human and other-than-human.

We integrate this worldview with Western coaching techniques, grounding our approach in the philosophy of the 3Rs: Responsibility, Respect, and Reciprocity, which we believe must be reclaimed and embodied in our journey towards personal and planetary wellbeing.

The most successful coaching partnerships begin with a client who has a clear idea of what they want to accomplish and is open to collaboration and new perspectives.

As a coaching client (“coachee”), your role is to:

• Create the coaching agenda based on personally meaningful goals

• Assume full responsibility for your own decisions and actions

• Use the coaching process to promote possibility thinking and fresh perspectives

• Engage big-picture thinking and problem-solving skills

• Take the tools, concepts, models and principles provided by your coach and engage in effective forward actions

Some of the main benefits and goals of Wholistic Coaching are:

• Increased confidence, self-trust and intuition

• Clarity in perspective in both life and career

• Empowerment and self-awareness

• Living in accordance to one’s values and needs

• Finding your authentic voice and building the confidence to use it

• Responsibility and Accountability

We believe lasting change takes time. Most experts agree that it can take at least 60 days to form new habits, and even longer to shift deeply ingrained mindsets shaped by years or generations of conditioning. As such, our coaching packages start at the 90 day mark.

While you'll notice mindset and behavioural shifts by the first few weeks, the most transformative results happen for our clients who commit to longer coaching journeys (i.e., 1-year coaching containers).

At Related Wellness, we specialize in helping you unlock your potential through defining your personal alignment. Here's what sets us apart:

Coaching: We guide you towards your core self so you can turn your dreams into reality with clarity and confidence.

Integrated Inner Child Healing: Our forthcoming courses are designed to help you re-parent and heal your inner child, a foundational step in shifting your energy and breaking free from limiting patterns.

Certified & ICF-Trained Coaches: Our coaches are trained by an accredited International Coaching Federation (ICF) provider, a globally recognized standard, ensuring you receive expert guidance.

Millennial-Focused: Only 9% of coaches globally are millennial practitioners, and we are proud to offer guidance that speaks to the unique challenges and aspirations of this generation.

Cultural Sensitivity: We value cultural diversity and integrate it into personalized coaching that honours your individual journey.
