PRIVATE COACHING TESTIMONIALSClient Stories
Kind words from artists + creative entrepreneurs I’ve had the privilege to support.
"The transformation from vague idea to grounded vision within a year has been transformative for myself and my businesses. Pascale helped me clarify my ideas and create a sustainable structure that would honor my energy. She guided me through periods of tension, ungroundedness and perfectionism with wisdom and grace. I owe so much of my success, clarity and groundedness to the exercises, guidance, tools and relationship which unfolded in this coaching container. I am deeply grateful for this year-long chapter with Pascale."
- PAIGE BUDA, DESIGNER at state of sage“Working with you was a healing experience and brought me so much joy for my work. The work we did together and our conversations helped me establish a new pace for myself and gather the courage to make difficult decisions.
With your perspective, I started to gain a clear understanding of what my role is for the people I work with. I've been chasing this clarity forever and a mere conversation with you was like a lightbulb.
Brainstorming with you and taking in your feedback was so enriching! You gave me so many ideas and new perspectives. The resource I developed during this time would not have been nearly as good if I didn't have you to exchange ideas with.
Coaching with you allowed me to create a space where I could play. This experience made me see that my business could be part of my healing path if I was willing to make it my own. You helped me find joy in my work and question what didn't, and prioritize myself. It's like, therapy was the theory, and coaching with you was the practice. I feel like I finally have a compass.”
- ANA LUISA SANTOS, designer at HOW KIND STUDIO“It’s hard to capture in words the essence of having Pascale working right alongside as your coach. I would also consider her a guide, a mentor, an inspiring creative heart, and someone who I found to be very intuitive and sensitive to what even I sometimes forgot I might need. Yet at the same time, all suggestions made were always instead invitations to get curious and compassionate, rather than ‘have to’s’ or expectations. Pascale has a beautiful way of guiding and opening you to a place of both understanding and acknowledging your own inner compass, alongside gaining clarity on a creative business roadmap which may often have twists and turns.There is a sense of flow and a gentleness brought to the creative untangling with a wide variety of tools and resources which lights up a creative soul like myself. It keeps the journeying interesting and fluid. Pascale holds a very grounded, safe, and sacred container with space for creative sparks, adapting if needed depending on what may have come up between sessions. This led to me feeling an ease and depth of trust, which meant I could go deeper with insights. Pascale has the gift of being able to truly see and hear you and notices the subtleties and clues in discussions, which led me to many aha moments, looking at things from different perspectives and leaning into self nurturing and compassion. There is something very powerful and empowering in knowing you have a coach such as Pascale walking alongside as your creative business vision evolves. I am incredibly grateful for Pascale’s support and guidance and have no doubt I will continue using many of the tools offered. And will definitely keep anchoring into my soul business start up by revisiting our session notes which are now full to the brim with a much clearer vision than when I first started this journey. Pascale is like a safe harbour, anchor, intuitive guide, creative coach all in one!”
- michelle wannan, healing guide + artist at soularta“Pascale is so kind, compassionate, generous and thorough in her coaching. She really digs past the surface-level and offers a very supportive, solutions-oriented approach. Her follow-up session notes are terrific, really helping to solidify what we talked about in our session and then progress even more. I recently recovered from a disabling illness and was returning to my creative life with some trepidation. Her empathy and insight has helped me to be kinder to myself, come up with creative solutions, set achievable goals, and manage my energy levels. After completing our coaching package, I feel confident that I can successfully complete my project.”
- mELISSA MANSFIELD, dancer & producer at FOLLOW MY LEAD“Pascale has helped me ground my vision into something tangible and gain clarity on what I want to focus on to build a business that is truly aligned with my energy and my values. When we started working together, I felt quite overwhelmed and confused, always unsure about my decisions and priorities. Pascale guided me to uncover important truths about my purpose and walk the first steps of a path that is truly mine. Through our partnership and beyond, she has created a calm and safe space which allowed me to surrender to a deep sense of trust - a trust for Pascale's insights, invitations and process, as well as a deeper sense of trust for myself, my business and my own decisions. I have always been amazed at the quality of her listening - she sees, feels and notices the subtleties that will make the difference and that will guide you "home". I am incredibly grateful for Pasale's guidance and support.”
- JULIE villain, WEB DESIGNER AT JULIESTUDIO“Working with Pascale was one of the best investments I've made in my business. I'd spent so much energy crafting a business that looks good on the outside (and comparing myself to others) that I forgot to craft a business that feels good on the inside too. Pascale is like a compassionate mirror who helps you see yourself from a fresh perspective, and then come up with concrete solutions to make simple yet powerful shifts you may not have considered before. You can tell from the start Pascale truly cares about what she does and I always felt like she went above and beyond. The checkins following the strategy workshop were thorough and a perfect addition to help really solidify what we went through so that it was actually implemented. I'd definitely recommend Pascale again and again for anyone in the creative world who is looking for a shift that aligns with their personal truth.”
- KAT fletcher, DESIGNER AT craft & wild"I've loved our partnership so much and it was so supportive in my transitional months from being full-time to becoming a working artist and freelance designer. I feel so good about the foundation we built and confident in continuing down this trajectory. It's been so helpful to have another creative and soulful brain to talk things through and find effective solutions together. I also had a sense of gentle accountability and instant trust working together. Her curious questions pulled out so many answers I had inside of me, and also inspired me to be more curious in my journaling and reflecting. Pascale is extremely sharp, savvy, and kind. I cannot recommend her coaching enough!"
- JULIE KIM, ARTIST"My creative wellness session with Pascale was a breath of fresh air in a hustle-culture world. I felt validated, understood, and encouraged as a creative entrepreneur seeking to build clarity and confidence as I transition from full-time corporate design work to develop my own small business. During our time together, I felt my overwhelm and anxiety to perform transform into joy and excitement to grow. The session empowered me with a helpful framework to explore, cultivate and protect my creative wellbeing, and equipped me with practical next steps to move my business forward in small but impactful ways."
- MORGAN, letterpress artist at flourishepress“Pascale's emotional intelligence and deep intuition, combined with years of entrepreneurship experience allowed for genuine and lasting mindset shifts. She provided a safe space for me to explore more difficult topics whilst coaching me to grow the skills I need to sustainably own a business.”
- MARIE-PIERRE BLANCHETTE, HANDCRAFTED & SMALL BATCH PERFUMER“Pascale is a literal gem amongst a sea of rocky entrepreneurship terrain. Her gentle + loving support has allowed me to flourish as a business-owner in a way that feels so authentically me, it warms my heart up so much. I have learnt how to honour myself in every step of my journey, how to incorporate a beautiful blend of focus + flow into my business + life, and how to show up and serve my clients from a place of love that I never envisioned was possible. I could not have asked for a more soulful guide on my journey to creating the life I truly desire. She helped me release a ton of shame surrounding my need for slow + space, taught me how to speak from the heart when it comes to my offerings, and was such a kind + compassionate guide throughout all the meltdowns along the way. It's incredibly empowering to work with her.”
- CAROLYNNE COLBECK, Yoga & Self Care Guide“Pascale gave me me the safe, open, non-judgmental environment and support I needed since… forever! Thank you for always being kind, honest and soft in your approach. Working with you gave me so much hope and clarity on what I need to do and in which direction I can be heading! I'm excited for the future.”
- EDWINA SOUTHGATE, VIRTUAL ASSISTANT FOR CREATIVE ENTREPRENEURS“So happy to have Pascale as my coach! She has given me motivation, concrete advice and steps to take, which I really needed as I didn’t know in which direction to go, or what to prioritize. Everything about my business is much clearer now.”
- ELOÏSE STEEN, GOOGLE ADS CONSULTANT“My coaching program with Pascale has been the best investment I’ve done for my newly launched business. I was going through quite a stressful time launching a new business in the middle of a pandemic, having my 3-year old boy at home 24/7 and my husband working a full-time job at the same time. Pascale helped me structure my business, find my core offers, use market research, set boundaries, and plan my workload. But most importantly, she was super supportive on a personal level, always very grounded and she transmitted an instant calmness in the middle of a crazy time. I will definitely work with Pascale again in the future and cannot recommend her enough.”
- CHRISTINA ROVIRA, BRAND AND WEB DESIGNER“Pascale was truly the creative guide that I needed at the exact right time. She helped me create rituals and processes that support me fully in mind, body, and spirit. Together we were able to lay a solid foundation to build from as I begin to put my creative work out into the world. I've found my voice as an artist, am learning to take up space, find joy and fun in the process, and to be more intentional in every project I pursue. We laughed and cried together during our journey as I learned and healed creatively. I am genuinely so grateful to have her in my corner as I continue to grow as an artist. If you're thinking about working with her, just do it!
Pascale was incredible in listening to what I really needed and helped me to develop a more fun creative process, heal my relationship with money, challenged me to use my voice and take up more space. She helped me to get closer to my truest, authentic creative self and I am forever grateful!
I am able to find joy in creating again! When it comes to musical practices, writing, or creating crowdfunders to support my art, Pascale gave me all the tools I needed to become the creator I always wanted to be. She helped me to dismantle a lot of the negative thoughts and habits I have around creating and how I view myself, and I was able to build a solid foundation in who I really am as a creator.”
- SUSAN VICTORIA BECHER, WRITER & MUSICIAN“Before working with Pascale, I had been second-guessing everything I was doing and felt overwhelmed and unclear on how to share what I do with my community. Pascale created this beautifully supportive, judgment-free space for us to collaborate and explore new ideas that helped me feel so at ease with what can be a very vulnerable process. She provided guidance and gently challenged me to step outside of my comfort zone, sharing new perspectives and creative ways of exploring everything. In the span of a few weeks, I felt more confident, more clarity, more aligned than I had ever felt. She made the process fun and lighthearted while also holding space for my worries and helping me develop tools and processes that work for me and my (often unpredictable) capacity. I'm feeling a renewed sense of excitement and joy to work on my brand and continue refining my work and sharing it with others. Working with Pascale felt like therapy and healing for my business, in the best way. If you're considering working with Pascale, I say do it. You will not find a more supportive, kind, and caring coach than her. Thank you so much, Pascale!”
- KIMBERLY GRAEF, brand designer“Pascale has honestly changed my life. I will never look at work or money the same way ever again. She has shown/taught me that you can control your destiny and you can have the life that you want, without having to sacrifice your values. Pascale is the first person who made every "problem" feel exciting and possible to overcome. Just sign up with her already!”
- MICHELLE LAFOREST, furniture Upcycler"Pascale was the fuck yes, let's do this" physical and emotional response you get when you know something is exactly what you need. She is the grounding, nurturing, patient, logical, intuitive support you've been looking for. Her wisdom and dedication remind me of the oldest tree in the forest, with roots that run deep into the Earth, always steady and resilient. During our time together, she has become not only such a strong support system of mine, but a cheerleader as well. In other words, when she says she believes in me, I feel it. She really cares, wants to see me succeed and brings a gentle honesty to our relationship that is much needed in the world of coaching. I sometimes think she's psychic or just intuitive as all hell because there have been times when I swear she knows me better than I know myself (or at least, can see through the bullshit that I create for myself lol.) Pascale has been a lifesaver and counselor wrapped into one. I probably could have navigated this all on my own, but I'm insanely grateful she's been by my side, never judging my lows and always celebrating my highs. Whether you decide to work with her on a one-off or on-going support, you won't be sorry. This woman just knows. Thank you so much, Pascale! You've changed my business and life in so many amazing ways!
- JACKIE BRYAN, creative COPYWRITER“I learned so much from our session. It was wonderful to be guided as I looked at things in another way. Before our session, I was feeling quite stuck and anxious about the changes I wanted to create and embark on. It was a push and pull of excitement and fear. You gave me space to meet and connect with both parts, and see them in a different light. It's amazing how transformational a small session can be! And you're just an amazing guide! After our session, I just felt at ease. Like every part of me related to this change and this challenge was listened to during the session and was on board going forward.”
- DALVIA RODRIGUES, COACH FOR GUIDES, MENTORS + EDUCATORS“Working with Pascale was a nurturing and collaborative experience, and it helped immensely to ground me as I build my new business around my personal creative projects. We had a wonderful session together in which she listened deeply, intuitively understood what I was about, and drew elements from various modalities including astrology and human design to create a true and joyful “inner compass” to help guide me in my decision making — very important as someone who tends to take on too much! She also inspired me to frame my workspace as a creative playground, a concept that has helped me immensely in bringing more lightness and ease to my work. Pascale is a truly special, caring, one of a kind coach, and I would recommend her without reservation to anyone looking to build a conscious, aligned business that honours their creativity and uniqueness. Thank you, Pascale! You are a gift.”
- LARA DAY, AUTHOR AND LIFE COACH“It is hard to put into words the role Pascale has played, not only in my business growth but in me becoming the magical person I am today. With her unconditional support, loving guidance, wealth of knowledge, and willingness to see life & business outside the "normal" box, I have been able to step into (several) next levels knowing with full confidence that I was capable and worthy of every single one. Beyond grateful (& honoured) to have her as a coach and friend. Staying grounded in who am I as a business owner AND human at the same time has been a serious opportunity for growth. Having someone to remind me that my boundaries and how I feel matter more than the accolades have been important.”
- STEPH LAFFY, CREATIVE COPYWRITER“Pascale stands in her truth, in her expertise, yet she’s open to whatever the client needs. This creates a very flowy and warm vibe that I really appreciate. Coaching with her has been so encouraging as I often felt lost and lonely in what I wanted to create as a business. I found that I really started embodying this business and not just seeing it as me trying to get somewhere. I learned to celebrate the small steps. I just feel so much more confident in my position as a ‘leader’ and creating things for my business without feeling like no one would take it seriously. I was able to cultivate leadership, confidence, commitment, allowing myself to flow and design my own way of going about schedules and business, no more hustle and instead more intentionality, more open sharings, the deep knowing that my work does have an impact. I hesitated working with a coach because I feared they wouldn’t understand my sensitive self and push me too hard. I thought a business coach wouldn’t get what I wanted in my life (ease, flow, slow living). I truly found the most perfect match in Pascale which I’m endlessly grateful for as it’s all the things working with her: fun, effortless and effective!”
- CELINA STOBBE, HEALING GUIDE“Coaching with Pascale allowed me to tap into my own intuitive voice, step back from the need to hustle to achieve, slow down my business operations and double down on impactful decisions as a foundation for my business. It helped me be confident in my creative vision and pave my own way without having to replicate someone else's blueprint. She holds such amazing space for all the discomfort that comes with scary and confronting business changes. A lot of people glorify jumping towards your dreams, but not enough talk about the painful parts that without the right support could take you away from your vision. Pascale is so amazing at being a guide for me though that.”
- ANNA SILVA, HOLISTIC WELLNESS MENTOR“Your aura and presence had a beautiful calming affect on me. I felt as though I had received permission to release all the pent up tension that I had been feeling for the past several weeks. I feel light and ready to move on, leaving the anxiety about quitting my job behind, and focusing on my art biz goals with positive energy! I love that you gave me intuitive as well as practical guidance. I feel very optimistic that this will help me make progress in my art journey!”
- NIKITA DESAI, oil painter at saffron street studio“Pascale is a GREAT coach! Not only does she have business sense and experience, but she truly cares about her clients and their progress & transformation. She has helped me to align my business with me (…). Pascale is incredibly dedicated to her clients. She's a breath of fresh air in the world of business coaching and a professional with true vocation. She held space for me and helped guide me, rather than shove me in ways that I didn't feel good about.”
- MEG ZIRGER, COACH
