What is Coaching?

Deep Listening: Coaches are trained to hear what’s said—and what’s not—and reflect it back to you.
Powerful Questions: Think: “What’s the cost of staying stuck?” or “What belief is driving this choice?”
Accountability: Coaches help track your progress (and challenge you when needed).
Tools & Frameworks: Many coaches bring in models (e.g., values clarification, saboteur awareness, somatic practices) tailored to your goals.

1:1 Sessions

Need support even if you can't figure out what's missing? When life feels heavy, unclear, or off-track, coaching creates space to breathe, reflect, and reconnect with what matters most. It helps you untangle what’s holding you back, make sense of what you’re feeling, and find a way forward that feels true to you.

The Chemistry Call

You wouldn’t swipe right and immediately book a weekend getaway with someone, right? (I mean… unless they had a dog and a yacht.) So why would you jump into coaching without seeing if we actually vibe? This call is just us figuring out if we click—or if we’d both politely ghost each other afterwards.

In all seriousness however, we utilize this free session to answer your questions, get to know one another and ensure that coaching is right for your situation!

Working with Mackenzie- Krista has been transformative for my professional development. During our sessions, she created a safe space that allowed me to explore my resistance to self-promotion and helped me recognize my true value.

Through her skillful questioning and strategic approach, she helped me shift from feeling uncomfortable about promoting my coaching business to being genuinely excited about reaching out for testimonials. Mackenzie has a gift for identifying emotional patterns and creating breakthrough moments - in just one session, she completely transformed my perspective. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a coach who can blend emotional intelligence with practical strategies for professional growth. ~ Alex Lee

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the difference between a life coach and a therapist?

While both life coaches and therapists help individuals improve their lives, therapists typically focus on addressing mental health issues and past traumas, while life coaches focus on helping individuals achieve their goals and improve their overall well-being. It is forward facing, and is best fitted to people who have already recovered with therapy, or are in a stable frame of mind. At times, it can coincide with therapy treatments. Our chemistrycalls will help you to determine if life coaching is a fit for you at this time.

What is your approach to goal-setting?

Our approach to goal-setting is to help clients identify specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals. However, we recognize research that shows goal-setting can have negative effects on people if they are overloaded and not carefully assigned, and monitored. We metaphorically help you "prescribe your own goals", monitor the effects and help to ensure that they are serving a purpose to you.

How do you handle confidentiality?

Confidentiality is of utmost importance at our coaching practice. We adhere to the International Coach Federation's (ICF) Code of Ethics, which includes strict guidelines for maintaining client confidentiality. The only exception to this is in the event of a court ordered circumstance or if our coaches have reason to believe that a client is a danger to themselves or others.

Do You Prescribe Medication?

Life coaching is an unlicensed field, and unlike other psychiatric or medical professions, coaches cannot issue medication nor do they offer advice. True, ICF accredited approaches to coaching, give the client the platform to do more of the talking. Coaches use their education and experience to ask questions and guide clients towards their goal and their purpose. When executed appropriately, it is an incredible empowering experience that leaves you feeling more confident and with a higher purpose or self-worth.

Our coaches are trained at Canada Coach Academy and have or are in the final stages of receiving their diplomas and ICF accreditation.

Do You Offer Discounts?

During the chemistrycall, our coaches will determine your desired outcome and recommend a number of sessions. When multiple sessions are prebooked and prepaid, our coaches will offer a discount. They may also make some exceptions or offer promotional rates when clients have proof of financial hardship. Discounts are not guaranteed until a coach has extended one. Members will always have the option of discounted options to choose from.

Do I Have To Turn My Camera On During Sessions?

During Virtual Sessions, we ask that your camera is on to ensure that no one else is present. This is to ensure coach and client confidentiality and to enhance the connection. We do offer relationshipand group coaching. However, some people prefer to have their camera off and so long as you are abiding by the waiver and confidentiality agreements, you may choose to have your camera off.

What is Psychedelic & Spiritual Integration Coaching

Psychedelic & Spiritual integration coaching is a process where your coach will work with you to prepare for your journey by setting intentions and goals, discussing any apprehensions and partnering with you to build coping mechanisms. They are not present with you during your journey, but will recommend that you never take a trip or use any substances alone. Post journey they explore the enlightenment that you achieved, either through psychedelics or natural spirituality. Many people achieve euphoric and powerful experiences without the use of psychedelics and others may have used hallucinogenic to achieve this. At times, people have what is referred to as a bad trip and these are critical to unravel. Coaches will help identify insights, work through difficult emotions that emerged, help build goals to maintain the positive elements and create plans for ongoing growth and transformation. Although, we offer virtual sessions around the world where some countries have legalized some plants and chemicals, your coach does NOT provide any substances to you, nor ways of sourcing these, nor do they offer information or advice about the substances and recommend that you are familiar with your local laws regarding substances, both legal and illegal. Your coach is not able to offer any legal or medical advice and cannot coach you while you are under the influence of anything mind-altering. However, there is something incredibly powerful about unpacking your trip, and finding meaning and growth from your journey. Integration is a beautiful way to honor the properties that psychotropics and natural states of spirituality offer us.
