TESTIMONIALS
“Much of what I’ve learned working with Billy greatly impacts how I show up in my life every single day. Her guidance at such a young age for me when I felt lost and spinning out of control shaped soooo much of the woman I am today. The beliefs that I have, the language that I use with myself and others, the tools I can draw from, my ability to express what I need clearly- all started with her coaching. I will never be able to thank her enough.”

“I feel very fortunate to have worked with Billy consistently every week for over a year. It truly was a life changing experience for me, one that I think and reflect on often. Most importantly she helped me to re-evaluate and define what "success" looks like for me and to start to dream big – way bigger than I ever was before. When I started to deconstruct and then rebuild my views on success and what's possible, that's when things really started to shift and expand...and continue to.
Her heart centered approach is beautiful. She held the space for my exploration, my fears, my journey, my dreams with professionalism, grace, skill, and spirit.
Because of her coaching, I have taken some of the biggest and most profound personal leaps as a leader, using my voice to launch and host my own podcast so that I can share stories of women working on climate and help drive the discussion on a topic that fires me. I have dreams/plans of expanding this work into a book and a wellness retreat in the future(...which is so energizing and fun even to type those words out!)
Billy helped me think about leadership in a new way – to start and do the thing that feels right, fires me up, lead with my heart. That is the leadership.
Coaching with Billy was often a lot more about the day-to-day dynamics of family, community, and relationships. How I show up to navigate the desires, fears, grief, and intentions that influence my role as a mother parenting two young girls, as a wife honouring my marriage and relationship with my husband and as a sister, daughter, and close friend in community.
Those close to me notice a difference in how I am now: how I approach situations, how I use my voice with intention, how I dream big. I generally feel less stressed out. One of my biggest struggles when I started working with Billy was feeling overwhelmed and stressed and not being able to dream big – to think expansively about how I want to live my life.
Now I run, hike, mountain bike or ski multiple times a week. I practice meditation, Qigong, journaling, loving my essential oils, etc. I continue to add sacred practices to my day and am inviting others to join me in this work as well. All of it supporting my vitality. And the expansiveness of my dreams continues to grow, percolate and cycle through - supported by all the practices listed above. It truly has been a transformative journey that continues...
Billy is a treasure and I whole-heartedly recommend working with her! Enjoy the journey!”

“I felt as though Life Coaching sought me out as if there was an energy drawing me to it.
In the midst of exploring whether committing to coaching would help me achieve my goals, I realized that it may uncover fears and that I would be faced with my insecurities and uncomfortable discussions. I wasn’t sure if this coaching environment was a place that would best facilitate growth and awareness. Thankfully Billy’s confident and inviting nature, along with her curiosity and pursuit of inspiration, brought me to her door.
I felt as though Life Coaching sought me out as if there was an energy drawing me to it.
There was a period of time prior to starting the coaching process that felt like as I moved forward in my life journey, there was too much drag and friction slowing me down. I was full of energy and ambition but needed to lighten the ride, in order to experience more joy and awareness along the way. I wanted to be a better father, husband, and serving member of society.
I was living in an anxious state consumed with trying to constantly please others – I now walk to the beat of my own drum again. I have tuned my intuition. I discern and follow only what will truly serve my soul.
The flow of this experience was very different than any other personal development I’ve been a part of. Real progress is achieved on a deeper dimension with thoughtfully curated discussion, a holistic approach incorporating communication, emotions, awareness, energy all into one package. This is what I experienced with Billy.
My biggest learning was growing into a state of self-approval and acceptance and to flow with the process of life. I now have more soul oriented vocabulary and perspective. I learned to be vulnerable.
I feel blessed that I had the opportunity to work with Billy. It was a catalyst for the next part of my journey.”

“Before starting my coaching journey, I was feeling stuck, as if a dark cloud was looming over me. I was going through a period of change in my life at the time and my fears of failure, disappointment, and change were holding me back from moving in any direction. I was hesitant about the price at first. I’m shy about spending money on myself and I was worried that I could not afford the service by myself and I was nervous asking for help. Eventually, I did ask for help and that was my first learning experience through this journey!
Through this work, I realized that I was living my life in reaction to my emotions and from my ego. Being aware of this has allowed me to feel more in control, confident, and at peace with challenging and triggering situations. I now have daily practices that allow me to work through my emotional struggles, productively, and independently. These practices are a priority in my life as they help me stay in touch with what's going on internally.
Working with Billy has also taught me to use my body as a means of expression. This revelation has contributed to a continually improving relationship I have with my body. I have also seen myself grow in my relationship as I learn to take ownership of how I show up for the people I love. I am also breaking through my comfort zone in my professional career.
It's been a long time since I have loved and accepted myself as I do now. Billy helped me make that jump to being the main character of my story again and the self-confidence and courage that comes with that are really cool.
To someone considering a coaching experience with Billy, I’d say -- Go in with an open mind and heart and be willing to do the work!”
