Living On Purpose

Life Coaching

If you ...

Stand at life’s crossroads wondering, “What’s the next turn?”

Believe you’ve got the answers but need a nudge in the right direction.

Have faced life’s ups and downs and are ready for the next chapter.

And you are ready ….

To embrace your authentic self and tap deeper into your potential.

To greet each day eager for the journey and the path you are on.

To lead a life not just by chance, but with purpose and passion!

Life...

You never know what it's going to throw at you.

I grabbed the handle on the lawn mower and pushed the machine over watching it crash to the ground. I was done. The tears began to flow, and my cheeks were burning red.

“I…can’t….do…. this!! THIS was YOUR job!” I was so upset.

It was Spring and the house chores, coupled with everything else I was contending with had become too much. Six months earlier, at the age of 31, my husband had passed away after a short illness, leaving me and my 2 ½ year old daughter to fend for ourselves.

Over the next decade my life changed drastically. The fairy tale plan I had expected did not materialize and, in its place, came many days of “just hanging on”. Life was hard…. ridiculously hard.

Eventually, the tears, anger and sadness dissipated and slowly I learned to rely on a strength and intuition that moved me forward. I sold the house and moved to a place that was more manageable – no more lawn mowers. And over time, each tiny decision and “flicker” of bravery gave me the courage to find a new home, a new career and eventually a new family.

I love this quote from the American singer and composer, Bernice Johnson Reagon – “Life’s challenges are not supposed to paralyze you; they’re supposed to help you discover who you are.”

And I did.

You can too!

"Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world, today I am wise, so I am changing myself."

When I first met Lorna, my life was drifting aimlessly. I needed a change but felt lost. Lorna helped me to look back at my life and understand who I really am and what was missing. Together we built a plan to fulfill my dreams and passion. She taught me how to battle my negative voice when it shows up, you know the one that says: “you’re not good enough”, “you can’t afford it”, “you have everything, why aren’t you happy”? Lorna knows how to listen beyond words and asks the right questions to get the true answers. Every session left me more and more enlightened and excited about what was coming and the possibilities of what I can accomplish. If you are looking for a professional to guide you through your journey, Lorna is a coach that I would highly recommend!

I began working with Lorna in a time of major transition in my life both personally and professionally. Our time together helped me challenge the beliefs that were holding me back and Lorna would often create these beautiful visions of what life could look like when I put those aside. She provided a comforting, and challenging (in the best way), relationship and environment. I am grateful to have worked together and know that she is an amazing woman and coach I can come back to at any time!

I’ve worked with several types of practitioners, mentors, counselors, therapists in trying to make a focused effort to bring about change in my life and launch a new business. Lorna has, by far, been the most effective for me. She has an incredibly unique range and complement of skills; she’s at once brilliantly practical, down to earth, and constructive, while also being remarkably intuitive and insightful. She offers shrewd business advice and guidance for going deep, in a seamless whole. I highly recommend Lorna, as their coach, for anyone who wants real change in their life.”
