Welcome
Befriend all your parts & create a life that feels like home
Hi, I’m Christelle
IFS Self-Discovery Life Coach
If you feel stuck, unable to answer the question “What do you want for your life?”, and endlessly going through a long to-do list based on what you “should” do, it’s no wonder you feel exhausted, depleted, and resentful. Coaching offers a space to slow down your thought process, get curious about discovering what you actually need, and create new ways of acting moving forward that are aligned with your actual Self.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
Have you been feeling stuck?
You know something needs to change, but you’re not quite sure where to begin.
Maybe you’ve spent so much time thinking about what other people need, what your work requires, or what you should be doing that it’s become difficult to hear what you need.
You may feel pulled in different directions. One part of you wants to make a change. Another wants to keep everyone happy. Another is exhausted and would really like you to stop trying so hard. You’re capable of figuring things out. But this particular thing keeps going around in circles.
It is for you if:
- You feel stuck between competing needs or priorities.
- You’re successful and capable, but taking care of yourself keeps falling to the bottom of the list.
- Saying no, setting boundaries, or disappointing someone feels harder than it “should.”
- You’re no longer sure which choices actually reflect you.
- You want change, but not another set of rules telling you who you’re supposed to become.
It is not for you if:
- You’re waiting for other people around you to change and fix your situation.
- If what you really need is the support of a licenced mental health professional like a therapist to process deep trauma.
- You are looking for a quick fix are not ready to slow down and shine more compassion on yourself.
A space that is finally about you.
What does coaching with me feels like?
Change Through Compassion
Lasting change, in my opinion, cannot come from pushing harder or criticizing yourself into action. We get curious about what’s keeping you stuck and work with it, rather than against it.
Listening to What’s There
What feels like one big stuck place often contains several different things Feelings aren’t problems to get rid of. They can offer valuable information about your needs, your values, your boundaries, and what is or isn’t working in your life. Together, we gently sort through them so there’s more clarity and room to move.
Your voice has the front seat
I won’t tell you what you should do. My role is to help you hear yourself more clearly so the choices you make are genuinely your own. We'll amplify your voice in this cocoon, so you can align your life with your true self.
Welcoming
ALL your parts
There are no bad parts of you. Even the ones that frustrate you have a reason for being there. There is always a positive intention for you. Our role is to meet them with curiosity an compassion to understand them better.
Reflecting back the gems I see
I listen closely and reflect back the strengths, insights, and possibilities I hear, often through a more compassionate lens than you offer yourself. You already have the wisdom, sometimes it's harder to see it through all the noise.
A Peer to Peer relationship
Coaching isn’t about me having the answers. You are the expert on your own life. We meet as two individuals. I am here to hold space, ask questions and explore together what might be your next step.
The answers aren’t outside of you.
I don’t believe the answer to your life is somewhere outside of you waiting for the right expert to hand it over.
The work is learning to know yourself more deeply: your values, your needs, your emotions, the way your mind and body work, and the different parts of you that are trying to keep you safe.
From there, you can begin creating a life that fits the actual person living it.
Who Am I?
Christelle in a few key points.
Born in France - Lives in Canada
I was born in Nîmes in South of France. I immigrated to Canada in 2016 following my intuition that my life was supposed to happen there. So glad I did as it allowed me to meet my now husband. We bought our forever home near Owen Sound, sharing with our fur babies Gary and Gia.
Enjoying the journey
Beginning my own therapeutic journey in 2009 has been the most wonderful gift I could offer myself (it's very much still ongoing). This is such a profound transformation of my daily experience of the world, definitely the most impactful decision and investment I made in my life.
My values
The values the more important to me are honesty, compassion and accountability. I try to live aligned with those values, acknowledging my privileges as a white hetero ci-gender woman. I believe that all human are equals, that love is love and that we need to live in symbiose with nature.

This is a complementary 15-minute meeting.
