How I can help:

You are looking for a coach who will help you to:

MEET YOUR COACH

My name is Bethany Reid. I live in southern Ontario, Canada with my husband, Deacon Sean, and our two teenage daughters, whom I homeschooled for many years. I know that homeschooling is a challenge! I know what it is to have high standards for myself and my family but to struggle just to keep chaos at bay. And I know that the stakes are high. That’s why I am passionate about helping people like you!

Many rich experiences have shaped me into the coach I am, including education: a BA, BSW, and Adler Foundations coach training. I am also trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), having at my disposal many tools and skills to help clients identify and pursue their values and to deal more effectively with any difficult thoughts and feelings that get in their way. I have also experienced the deep learning that comes from living through a variety of life circumstances such as cancer, adoption, and parenting, including several years of special-needs parenting. I am also an avid reader and researcher on topics of mutual relevance to me and my clients.

I attend an Orthodox Christian church with my family, where my husband serves as a deacon and I serve on the parish council. I have a deep love for God and the Orthodox Church, and I find joy in helping my clients align themselves with their values and take concrete action to improve their lives.

ADHD and Autism Friendly Support

I have had a special (and personal!) interest in the conditions of ADHD and autism since discovering that my family is much more neurologically diverse than I had realized! Although I do not have ADHD-specific coach training, I have much to offer clients with ADHD and ASD due to extensive self-directed learning. I feel a deep kinship with autistic clients and those that have ADHD, and with those who have neurodivergent children or family members. My coaching practice and experience encompass many without these conditions as well.

Testimonials from Past Clients

I reached out to Bethany to help me align my values with my daily life and also to help me find a sense of direction. As a stay-at-home mom and homeschooler, I was feeling a bit aimless. Not only did Bethany help me identify my values but she also helped me connect them to what I was already doing. She worked with me to identify areas where I could take concrete actions in line with my values. Her weekly session preparation forms kept me on task for the next session and also held me accountable to take action. It was also important to me that Bethany is a practicing Christian. I felt comfortable sharing my faith life and spiritual journey with her. She was an incredible resource to me as a newly Orthodox Christian. Thanks to working with Bethany, I have a much greater sense of purpose and know where my gaps are and what actions I need to take to fill them. I highly recommend Bethany as a coach. I truly enjoyed working with her.

Coaching with Bethany was a pleasant and purposeful experience. Before working with her, I had struggled with many parts of my life and felt lost. One of the major problems I had was not knowing how to unfold the next chapter of my life in terms of career, parenting, and personal development. I felt trapped with so much fear that prevented me from moving forward. Bethany is very professional and patient and has perspective and good listening skills. She helped me set small goals in every session and share my progress during the next session. This allowed me to direct my journey and have a clear future vision. It’s one step at a time, but I am happy and grateful for working with Bethany!

When I started working with Bethany, I was struggling as a homeschooling mom of four young children. I was overwhelmed and conflicted about my homeschooling choices. We had three sessions, during which Bethany guided me through the process of looking at my parenting values and choices and identifying some of my roadblocks. I found Bethany to be an attentive listener and comforting presence, qualities that allowed for honest introspection. The outcome of my time with Bethany is a better understanding of the actions I need to take to find the clarity I seek regarding my parenting. Before our sessions, I was more confused due to recycling my own thoughts and Bethany helped me expose the thoughts and look beyond them, at my own values and expectations. She was patient and attentive in guiding me through the process and I am grateful for the experience of working with her.

Bethany distinguishes herself as a life coach in her ability to pinpoint her client’s obstacles in achieving goals, and giving them the tools to achieve those goals. I did not even realize what exactly was hindering me, until after a few sessions with Bethany. I came out on the other end with a better understanding of my obstacles, and a new strategy for personal and professional development.
