What clients say

  • Working with Madeleine has been truly magical.

    Working with Madeleine has been truly magical. She has a rare ability to create a safe, thoughtful space where you immediately feel seen, supported, and understood. Her presence is gentle but powerful. What I appreciate most is her empathy. She listens deeply, without judgment, and seems to know exactly when to offer encouragement and when to push you with a question that makes you pause, reflect, and go deep.

    Madeleine is a thoughtful and intuitive coach who provides a safe space for her clients to explore and discover what is most important to them. Working with Madeleine helped me to gain more clarity around certain career and personal challenges I had struggled to put words to prior to our sessions. I'm very grateful for my time working with her.

    -Post-Secondary Lecturer and PhD Candidate

  • Working with Madeleine has been a gift.

    Despite a 20-year age gap between us, Madeleine brought wisdom and perspective that served as a mirror, helping me see myself and my business with new clarity. The beauty of coaching isn't about the coach having all the answers. It's about creating the conditions for you to discover your own. Madeleine's skill in holding that reflective space allowed me to dive deep into myself and emerge with greater clarity about the path forward.

    -Shelagh Lenon, Entrepreneur

  • Highly recommended

    Joining this program was truly the greatest decision I took at the beginning of the year. It pushed me to self-reflect and be confident about decisions I have taken. It was incredible to have other parents in the group as their stories were an inspiration and made me realize I was not the only one feeling a certain way. I truly can't recommend this enough.

    — Mayda B., Higher education manager and current full-time caregiver

  • Insightful perspectives

    I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Madeleine for over half a year. Madeleine has advanced educational training, and she also has a diverse personal and professional background, which she brings to her role as a coach. Madeleine is an active listener. I believe that Madeleine's perspectives are insightful and worthy of attention and consideration. As a lawyer and a successful business owner, Madeleine has not only assisted me immensely with enhancing my professional life, but she has also caused me to reflect on all aspects of my life, making me a more well rounded and happier person.
