Hello. I’m Paulina. 

As a professional coach, my greatest satisfaction comes from seeing others discover and act on possibilities. If you have a growth mindset, are willing to self-reflect and take action then I’d love to hear from you. You will be supported, challenged, inspired, have your thoughts interrupted, and realize what is possible all within a safe, confidential space. I have a trauma-informed perspective and work to cultivate safety, trust and compassion with all clients.

Don’t be intimidated by the “executive” part of my title - I have coached individuals from all levels of various sectors and some who just want to focus on personal goals and challenges. You are the executive/leader of your life no matter your job title.

If you want to go far, go together.

What does a coaching program look like?

Packages can be customized to your needs - connect with me to see what works for you. Coaching sessions work to help you to clarify and focus what you want to work on, leverage your strengths, identify barriers to success and provide the support needed for you to embrace and implement positive new possibilities. How long that takes is entirely up to you. My philosophy is that you won’t always need a coach; however, you may want to have one on standby when a time calls for it.

You bring the content. I hold the framework. This truly is a partnership.

Be forewarned: This can be challenging, life changing and possibly even fun!

My Values

(the things that make me feel alive when I'm living within them)

Authenticity

Curiosity

Creativity

Connection

Autonomy

How do my values show up for me in coaching? You get what you see. I am deeply curious about what is going on for you, I see possibilities, I see your potential, I will support you, I will be vulnerable with you, and I will challenge you. I will respect your autonomy - I believe you always have a choice and that you are capable of making decisions and acting on them.

About Me

I bring with me a life rich in experiences, education and careers. I have over 20 years in public safety as a police officer (Vancouver Police Department, BC, Canada), as a workplace fatality investigator at WorkSafeBC and Violence Prevention Specialist at the Island Health Authority. Prior to that I worked in health care (long term care rehabilitation coordinator and back-to-work coordinator). I currently facilitate violence prevention classes in health care, offer services as a health and safety strategist/consultant in addition to executive coaching. I love to create connections and a sense of belonging wherever I am. I love supporting others who want to challenge the status quo in their life and unlock their own potential.

  • I am grateful for the clarity and wisdom Paulina spoke into my life after my father died. She helped me listen to my heart through each step of the estate and I always had clear takeaways. In a difficult time I didn't feel alone, I can't recommend her enough. As well, I was at a point in my career where I wasn't sure what direction to go in, Paulina helped me see what I wanted and gave me the courage to take the next steps. If you have changes in your life, seek help, you wont regret it!!
