About Us
Coach | Facilitator | Educator
“I work with professional women and emerging leaders to restore a balance in their everyday lives as measured by their impact as positive role models, contributions to team alignment and ability to grow the next generation of leaders.”
Hello and welcome! I’m a leadership and life coach, facilitator and a community herbalist.
The focus of my work lives at the intersection of leadership, spirituality & healing through regenerative practices and designing intentional relationships with the world around you.
I support individuals to make informed, evidence-based, courageous decisions about who they are becoming, while also helping to reconnect with a slower, wiser, more intuitive form of knowledge that sustains wellbeing and demonstrates a positive impact.
My Leadership Roots
For more than 20 years, I have worked in leadership roles across sport, sustainability, senior secondary and higher education, including at the University of Calgary, University of Alberta, and the Canadian Sport Institute Pacific. My role was often the same in each field to collaborate on the design and delivery of programs, develop and retain a talented team, and activate strategic plans to move from idea to action.
Time after time, I noticed technical skills were never the real barrier. The real important work was more personal. Self-trust. Navigating self-doubt. Emotional intelligence. Clarity of values to inform decisions. Confidence to step into a bigger role.
This realization led me to complete a Master of Arts in Global Leadership at Royal Roads University, train with the Co-Active Training Institute, and become a Playing Big facilitator. Each of these frameworks provided structure and evidence to something I had already been doing intuitively. Helping people tune into their own wisdom and act on it.
A Shift Towards Holistic Wellbeing
Alongside my professional path, another journey was quietly growing to find a better version of balance for myself. As a former competitive athlete, someone who enjoyed being constantly-in-motion and a ‘recovering perfectionist’, I have learned to pace myself in order to live on my terms alongside chronic illness. I have also faced unexpected health challenges hand-in-hand with a few of my favourite people … which helped me to redefine what it means to live a life on purpose and show up in a sustainable way.
As I continued to research and explore alternative holistic practices to support myself and my community, I spent my spare time learning traditional plant uses and studying herbal medicine in a practical, everyday way. Herbalism taught me something leadership theory never could. Growth happens in different seasons and the simple truth that nothing blooms all year. Rest is not failure .. thoughtful recovery is essential for us to perform at our best.
This perspective now informs everything I offer. Not as a replacement for coaching or leadership education, but as a deeper foundation beneath it that supports overall health and wellbeing. I now offer community herbal education workshops that make plant knowledge accessible, grounded, and relevant to modern life. These spaces are both practical and experiential. People learn the history and common uses of plant allies, build confidence, and develop their own relationship with the living world around them.
I care deeply about designing a more regenerative and humane way of living and working. One that values both inner development and our relationship to the natural systems that sustain us. Leaping Fox Consulting exists as a place for that work to unfold.
