Who Am I?

Youth Life Coach~Girl Confidence Coach~ Workshop Facilitator~ Speaker

So, who exactly am I?  You are probably wondering, right? Well, I am an ordinary person, who loves life, her husband and her family more than anything.  I love the beautiful Toronto neighborhood I live in and I enjoy the simplest joys in life. These simple joys usually include nutella-banana crepes, wood-oven style pizza at a cozy pizzeria in Toronto, going for drives to High Park and catching up on a good movie that inspires me. Forrest Gump is my favourite movie ever!  Like most people needing a life coach, I had a linear, rigid plan for when I graduated Queens University in 2013 and I quickly learnt that most of my plans would get disrupted by life and a bit of Murphy's Law ha-ha! It was these humbling and challenging experiences that introduced me to the concept of resilience and mental fortitude. And, this is what I hope to help youth figure out and navigate in their personal self-discovery process with me. 

How has resilience played a part in my life so far? Well, after quite the rollercoater since leaving University and after a number of powerful "a-ha" moments I learnt that to live life well, you need to live it with resilience and adaptability.  Covid-19 taught me some of the biggest life lessons and it also brought me the biggest blessing- meeting my husband, who I call the "love of my life."  Sometimes the greatest treasures are found in chaos and disaster and for me, this was fortunately the case. Planning a wedding during Covid-19 proved to be another rewarding yet challenging testament of resilience and flexibility. This experience is what taught me that beautiful things can arise from trying times. 

Resilience has played a big part in shaping my life and continues to be a strong pillar and driving force in my life. I want to share my vulnerabilities and let youth know that it is okay not to have things figured out and that it is okay to work with a life coach. Remember, the key is to not be afraid of life's challenges, it is how you respond to them.

Confidence Coaching for Girls

Teaching girls to embrace their authentic selves

Confidence is such a critical component of healthy girl development, especially during middle school & high school years. High confidence contributes to the positive social-emotional development of teen girls 13-18 yrs. old and enables young women to take chances in life and actively participate in extra circular activities in and out of school. This is a necessary ingredient for successul girl development.

Relationship Coaching for Girls

Relationships are the foundation of healthy development

Relationships of all types including-romantic/intimate types, friendships, professional relationships, spiritual ones and personal ones, all contribute to the positive social emotional well-being of girls.  In high school, girls may start to explore cliques, new friendships and social groups, while starting to experience romantic feelings/gestures. Post Graduation, many young women are concerned with their career development and professional connections. Relationships are necessary for girls to flourish.

The ultimate transition from student to adult is a pivotal one and one that requires vision, goals and resilience! Girls need reminders and affirmations, that they can pursue whatever it is they dream of and aspire towards. Women can achieve success and fulfillment! Personality Assessments are applied, value-based assessments and more.

Helping Mothers & Daughters Reconcile

Mom & Daughter Workshops

During teen years the relationship between a mother and daughter can get disrupted and negatively impacted as teen girls struggle to navigate the ups and downs of high school, girl world, cliques and friendships, body image, self-love, relationships and career dreams. Health communication, healthy boundaries, mutual respect, understanding, empathy and setting expectations for behaviour are all important things that need support and nurture during this time. It is possible for Mothers to feel very close to their Daughters during Teenagehood.

Parent Testimonials

Happy Parents, Happy Clients

As a life coach, I’m passionate about helping others and guiding them into a new phase of their life. I work hard on developing a personal, open and transparent relationship with my clients, and what they say about my services is incredibly important to me. Read the testimonials below to get an idea of the experiences that current clients have had with my services, and get in touch with me today.

We have seen positive changes in the mindset and level of confidence of our daughter since she started working with Angelica. 

Angelica has guided and coached her towards seeing herself in a positive light, to celebrate her strengths and feel confident enough to tackle her areas of needs.



Parent A

As soon as Angelica met with my daughter she instantly formed a connection with her and identified her self esteem needs.  Angelica right away started to work with her on the two key areas 1. Effective communication, 2. Building Self Esteem.

Within 6 months of Angelica working with my daughter, the positive changes started to happen.  My daughter's major & frequent breakdowns lessened, her coping ability increased and she was able to communicate her thoughts &  feelings.   My daughter not only found a coach in Angelica, but she also found a true friend and mentor. Thank you Angelica for everything!

Parent B

I cannot say enough about how Angelica has helped our family. She has passionately advocated for support for our son and her guidance gave us the courage to transition him to a more suitable school environment, where he is now thriving.  He feels comfortable expressing himself with her and opening up his feelings and emotions.  Angelica is one of a kind and we are blessed to have her in our family life.

Parent C
