My Story

I Came to Canada with $65 to My Name.

As a visionary entrepreneur and food scientist in Uganda, I led a decade-long journey of innovation in food product development, notably, founding a baby food business. My dedication to creating affordable, nutritious options for infants, coupled with my commitment to community empowerment, defined my career. Overcoming personal adversities, including the loss of my parents and navigating a challenging marriage, I stayed focused on making a positive impact.

​

In 2017, driven by the desire for a better life, I arrived in Canada as a refugee and a single mother with only $65, making the heart-wrenching decision to initially leave my children behind. In Canada, I encountered difficulties finding work in my field but remained resilient. I took on various roles - from a raw material sampler in a warehouse to a health and safety officer on construction sites, and as a support worker in residential homes. Balancing these diverse jobs seven days a week, I showcased not just my adaptability but also an unyielding determination to support my family and build a future.

​

Despite setbacks like a major car accident and the financial burden of my son's medical expenses upon his arrival in Canada, I never gave up. My persistence and hard work culminated in purchasing a 3-bedroom condo just in time for my family's reunion in Canada. This transformative journey, from an immigrant overcoming obstacles to becoming a proud homeowner, is a testament to the power of perseverance, hard work, and financial prudence.

Motivated by a passion to help others overcome struggles, I am dedicated to inspiring joy, freedom, and abundance in people's lives. My journey is a testament to the belief that anyone can achieve their dreams, and I'm here to guide and inspire you towards living a fulfilled life and becoming your best self.

What's My Style?

My holistic coaching approach is designed to guide you through a transformative journey. Holistic coaching is more than just a process; it's a partnership that helps you deeply understand your motivations and aspirations. Here's how I will support you:

​

  • Aligning Values and Beliefs: We'll work together to ensure your values and beliefs are in harmony, fostering them to enrich your life.

​

  • Challenging You to Greatness: Expect to be pushed beyond your comfort zone, as I challenge you to reach new heights.

​

​

  • Removing Negativity: We'll identify and work to eliminate negative aspects of your life, clearing the path for positive growth.

​

​

  • Developing Diverse Goals: Whether personal, professional, financial, spiritual, mental, or physical, we'll craft goals that cover all aspects of your life.

​

At the heart of my approach are the 4 elements of change: Awareness, Understanding, Disassociation, and Reconditioning. This framework ensures a comprehensive and effective transformation, allowing you to emerge renewed and ready to soar to new heights.

The difference between what you are and what you want to be is what you do today.
Do something each day to move you closer to the future you desire. Every change starts with a decision to change
