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 community herbalist. My work lives at the intersection of personal leadership practices and enhancing regenerative relationships with the natural world.
I support people to make clear, courageous decisions about who they are becoming, while also helping them reconnect with a slower, wiser form of knowledge that sustains wellbeing to make a greater impact on the world around them.
My Leadership Roots
For more than 20 years, I have worked in leadership roles across sport, sustainability, upper secondary and higher education, including 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 people, and help teams move from idea to action.
Again and again, I saw that technical ‘hard’ skills were never the real barrier. The real work was more personal. Self-trust. Navigating self-doubt. Emotional intelligence. Clarity of values. The 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 access their own wisdom and act on it.
A Shift Towards Holistic Well-being
Alongside my professional path, another journey was quietly growing. I spent my spare time gardening, making tea blends, learning traditional plant uses, and studying herbal medicine in a practical, everyday way. Herbalism taught me something leadership theory never could. Growth happens in seasons and the simple truth that nothing blooms all year. Rest is not failure and indeed, it is essential for us to perform at our best.
We can learn so much from the natural world. 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 well-being.
I now offer community herbal education workshops that make plant knowledge accessible, grounded, and relevant to modern life. These spaces are 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 building 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.
