“Sharon is an incredible burst of inspiration, positivity and guidance who brightens your world the moment she enters it. Her life mapping program is a natural extension of her warm personality and her genuine interest in changing people’s lives. Over the course of the mapping process, she helps you connect the dots by looking at your past and bringing clarity and meaning to the role that certain people or events have played. Through a tactful series of prompting questions, Sharon has a knack for taking an overwhelming subject like your life story and putting it into perspective while helping you draw meaning from each part of your journey, ie. why certain people came in and out of your life, how your intuition kicked in and how even a detour or bump in the road serves a purpose. By the end of the process, you are able to visually see where your life has taken you, identify patterns that reoccur and use all of this information to equip you with a sense of reassurance and confidence in tackling the adventures ahead. Thoughts like, “Ah, this is my GPS kicking in!” are now common in my mind as my life map continues to unfold each day. Sharon is a rockstar at making it all make sense – she’s the ideal road trip companion! Jaclyn – Strategic Marketing Manager – Toronto
Before completing Sharon’s life mapping program, I spent a lot of time worrying. I worried about things that were out of my control. I worried about what other people thought of me. And by worrying so much, I convinced myself that things would be terrible. All this worrying caused me to miss the goodness that was right in front of me. Sharon has inspired me to savour the moments I’ve got while also giving me the courage to reach for more. I now feel empowered and trust that I know what’s best for me, including saying no to things that don’t enrich my life. Sharon’s incredible energy is contagious. Monika Dunn – Program Therapist – Toronto
“The life map is an incredible tool for self-discovery. It allows you to learn about what type of life narrative you are telling yourself and from what perspectives you are viewing your life story. It is incredibly impactful to take the time to put all the pieces together and to learn all about what’s shaped you to be who you are today. For me personally, it’s been a life changing experience to go through the process of writing the life map and analyzing it. With Sharon’s guidance, I’ve been able to understand my past experiences in new ways and I am now able to use these lessons as a source of empowerment. I now feel confident that I have all the tools to shape my life to be exactly what I want and need it to be in order to find real fulfillment. I also feel ready for all the adventures that lie ahead and ready to master whatever circumstance or situation comes my way.” Diana Orbegozo – Financial Service Representative – Toronto
“I found the life map process to be very interesting. I liked the order in which I was to write things down, starting with my struggles. When I started doing my timeline I did start to see parallels and connections throughout my timeline to some of the things I struggle with now. Things I never really thought about before. For instance, I have always been very dependent on other people to make my decisions or form my opinions. I’ve always been too laid back and not a go getter and not very assertive. I was also a people pleaser, and always let people take over and do what they wanted. It has caused me to become a very dependent person on other people which probably led me to marry someone whom I’m also very dependent on. I don’t put myself to try new things and find it very difficult to make decisions and form my own opinions. It was cool to come to this realization, and hopefully I can become more motivated to try new things, challenge myself more, and try to be more independent.” Nancy Graham – Piano Teacher – Parry Sound
“The Life Map helped me discover myself, and it delivered many “Ah-Ha moments.” The biggest takeaway from this process was developing more clarity. Seeing my Life Map in ink before me was a bit life shaking for me. It was crazy to see where I started and where my Map has taken me. There were so many ups and downs, twists and turns and almost a couple dead ends with no turn in sight. At the time, and even up until going through my Life Map, I had been beating myself up over the roads I took, or the ones I didn’t take. I now realize I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be. The Life Map process shifted my entire perception of my Life. It now makes complete sense. It’s quite something to see it all before you. It’s like a beam of light – it just hits you. Brittany Brodie – Country Music Singer-Songwriter – Mount Forest
“I never thought I’d be someone who would get a life coach, thankfully I did. Every session with Sharon opened up my eyes to things that I didn’t even realize were holding me back. My quality of life changed, work got better, I became happier and my thought process changed. I looked forward to our sessions and chats, and nothing was off limits. I think what makes Sharon different than other forms of therapy is she asks questions. You’d be surprised how a simple question can lead you down a path of realization that you had no idea was there. I look forward to using what I’ve learned day to day and will definitely not hesitate to call Sharon if I need some help!” Melissa Lariviere – T.V Producer – Toronto
“Living in busy downtown Toronto, it can be really hard to take time and reflect on yourself. Working with Sharon helped me stop and think about the reasons why I do things, what my motivation is, and what really matters to me. Sharon helped me become more self-aware and deliberate in the choices I make in life. Now when I face a challenge, whether it’s in a personal relationship, or in my career, I ask myself why I am having a hard time. Why does this situation cause me stress or insecurity? Talking with Sharon helped me realize that asking that simple question can put everything in perspective, and make it easier to tackle that problem. I would recommend Sharon to anyone dealing with a relationship problem, anyone facing challenges in moving their career forward, or anyone who wants to challenge themselves to be a better person. Thanks Sharon! ” Kat Shermack – Freelance Journalist – Toronto

“I came across Sharon’s coaching in a time of my life when I was feeling lost and confused, and the one thing that intrigued me the most was the promise of clarity. I wondered if coaching would really help me with that, at least it was worth a try. How glad I am for that decision! I thought clarity was what I needed but Sharon helped me understand there was so much more influencing my daily life than what I could see in the surface. She knows how to ask just the right questions to make you dig deeper inside yourself and stir things up, giving you a much wider understanding of the real reasons behind your feelings, actions and thoughts. Through Sharon’s coaching I was able to confront automatic behaviours and identify the things that really matter to me, that drive me forward. It was a period of insight and lots of realizations in understanding who I am and how I can make the most of my own talents and abilities to move myself forward and towards the right direction.” Debora Marques – Account Director and Partner at The PR Department – Toronto
