Welcome. If you’re hungry for growth, you’re in the right place.

Are you ready?

Life Coaching

You’re hungry for growth. A voice inside whispers that you’re leaving too much on the table. It pulls you — that great, big, juicy life — and time ticks loudly in your mind. Life’s calling you to more. To be better, to think bigger. And you’re ready to answer. 

life+coach.jpg

Maybe it’s time to achieve those huge dreams or finally leap into that exciting new career. Perhaps you want to learn to love yourself fully and unconditionally, improve your current relationship, heal from a past relationship, or find and commit to your ideal partner. Your friends encourage you to hire a coach, and you see them taking life to the next level. You want that for yourself.

They tell you the right fit is everything. 

What qualities in a coach are right for you? Authenticity and accountability? Someone who values connection and growth above all else? Who holds space for the unexpected bumps along the road so you can see your way through the roadblocks? If you’re looking for a coach who walks her own transformational path, who clients describe as “compassionately direct,” then book a call with me. 

You benefit from the wealth of experience I’ve gleaned from my own personal development. I deeply align with my training as a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC): we are all naturally creative, resourceful and whole. We’re innately capable of answering our own deep questions. As your coach, I use training, experience, and intuition to masterfully guide and walk beside you on your journey.

Whether your dream feels crystal clear and you need support in the “how,” or you know you want more and need clarity on the “what” — I can help. My coaching lets YOU see where you want to be, where you are, and — most importantly — how you’ll bridge that gap. Allowing the path to unfold, and having the right guide makes all the difference. It’s time to find your answers. Come create your dream life.

Family Business Coaching

Your family business stands on a strong legacy of dedication and vision. You value expansion and know that the right coach will aptly mentor your family to the next level. Leaders in the industry recognize one of the keys to successful family businesses and wealth transition is governance in action — a focus on the complex human elements with a mindful approach. 

family+business+coach.jpg

Healthy business families allow open intergenerational dialogue that explores both privilege and responsibility. They effectively foster stewardship within the next-gen — which can begin at an early age. It’s never too early to build intentional conversation skills. Business families face complex roles — unique, rewarding, and stressful at the best of times.     

Navigating these roles often presents a daily struggle. Invariably, the three areas of family, business, and ownership overlap. Lines blur. Things get personal. Then they get messy. How do you protect and expand generational wealth — while simultaneously harmonizing dynamic relationships and maintaining unity? 

As a second-generation family business member in a thriving family business system, I provide unique value to your family. I am a designated Family Enterprise Advisor (FEA) and also a Board Member on Family Enterprise Canada’s Foundation (FEF). My personal and professional experience and understanding of these specific complexities add to the resourcefulness and creative approach of my coaching and advisory practice.

Serving as a knowledgeable guide to business families adds depth to my overall mission of empowering others to step into their expansion personally and professionally. My family’s experience led me to seek training and incorporate this service into my coaching. 

I support your family to understand and untangle relationships, and to clarify the intricate details of managing family wealth. With high-level training, practiced skills, and a compassionate approach, I’m the family business coach you’re seeking.

My purpose is to inspire others to expand into their biggest, most juicy life. This mission grew out of my own transformation. Before realizing my life’s work, I felt constrained in my own skin. Even as a little girl, the outside world, expectations, and pressure to be perfect seemed to close in on me. 

After my divorce, I intentionally recreated myself and my life. I gave myself permission to pursue everything I really wanted. Through the pain, I stepped into new levels of freedom and joy.

You can too. As your experienced guide, I’m committed to your success because I’ve walked a similar path. After seeing the benefit of coaching in my own life, I’ve significantly invested to develop myself and my skills. I bring this invaluable resource to our coaching. You benefit from the guidance I‘ve received (and still get!) from mentors and coaches. 

As a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC), I believe my clients are naturally creative, resourceful and whole. I’m compassionately direct and hold you accountable to your goals — in a way that works for you. I listen thoughtfully and see you as a complete person. As your best self actually, with your own path to fulfilling your dreams. I’m here to support and guide you in allowing your path to unfold. 

I am blessed by and love being a mom to three incredible children (well, they’re teens & tweens now). In my eyes, they’re infinitely capable human beings. As their parent, I’m a guide and positive model in their own life journeys. I’m their ‘coach’.

I’ve let go of the weight of striving to be perfect. I’m on my own journey of healing and growth. Expansion never ends; like an onion, every layer we peel back shows deeper levels to explore. I’m pursuing my biggest, juiciest life while supporting you in pursuing your personal and professional vision. 

We’re in this together! My coaching approach mirrors my beliefs and personality: holistic, open, and playful. Let’s dance in the moment, and create your life of no regrets.

What People Are Saying


“We as a G3 (Generation 3) of an international business family were keen to deliberately discuss and explore options to continue working together in various capacities. We were uncertain about how our individual interests, professions and strengths could compliment and be integrated in the family business. Having met and interviewed various Coaches we decided to engage Ambreen. Ambreen provided us with the appropriate preparatory steps (including providing us with simple pre-work questions and readings of various key theories), guided us through the various exercises and gave us appropriate time to discuss our issues and challenges. In addition, working with Ambreen allowed us to be accountable to one another as well as our outcomes and deliverables and to engage in difficult multigenerational conversations. We found her approach to be flexible, thoughtful, and empathetic which resulted in us having open and frank discussions as we navigated through various insightful discussions. Thank you Ambreen – we appreciated your support, guidance and expertise in enabling us to complete this important task for our family!”

- G3 International Business Family - 2022


“I was introduced to Ambreen by a mutual friend who was having similar issues within their family business. I’m so happy we chose to work with her as she gave me a better understanding as to how to work with my parents who are from a different generation (G1) and a different school of thought. I am always trying to modernize and think towards the future in regards to the business whereas my parents want to do the same they have been doing as it’s comfortable. Clashes had to be mitigated and Ambreen was the perfect coach to support us in doing so. We got value from this process in a number of ways - managing expectations, learning how to strategize with my parents and still getting what we all want, and managing my own approach given our diverse perspectives. Ambreen is easy to work with and a partner in your struggle, which was an asset as sometimes I felt alone battling obstacles against my two parents. I’ve learnt how to dissect the situation and take things on one at a time and now understand that each of us are after the same goal – family unity, business success and longevity of our family wealth. Once I learnt this, it’s been smooth sailing. As a family enterprise advisor and coach, I would recommend Ambreen in a heartbeat to other business families and entrepreneurs.”

“I first learned about Ambreen at a public conference, where she was a presenter. Her approach and thoughtful demeanor resonated with me. I reached out and began transformational coaching with her in a quest to reflect systematically on what I was doing and to explore new paths. After a few months where she helped me to create better alignment between my actions and core values, I realized that my whole family could benefit from her coaching. Months into this ongoing process, I can say that her guidance has been transformative for our family, including for our tween and teen children. She has been very relatable for our children who often ask, “when is Ambreen coming again?”. Ambreen has helped us to chart a path towards more intentional living and continues to provide strategies that help us to navigate key life transitions as a family. I would not hesitate to recommend Ambreen both as a personal and family coach.”

“I still remember our very first session over a year ago when Ambreen asked: What are you waiting for? I was able to pivot my career weeks after I started my sessions with Ambreen. Her ability to help you visualize your success, and then build a pathway with you is empowering, motivating and fulfilling.  I really enjoy our sessions. Ambreen is very personable - she shared lots of personal experiences to relate to my situation and it helped a lot to visualize what the potential outcomes and success could look like. Ambreen’s perspective is holistic – family, business, personal, spiritual, intellectual, relationships – she has helped me grow and improve in all aspects. If you want to pivot your life and career to achieve your dreams with real and tangible advice, I would highly recommend that you work with Ambreen. What are you waiting for?”

- Anis U. Ali, Discretionary Portfolio Manager, Edmonton - May 2022


“Ambreen gave me the confidence and tools to believe in myself again. She helped me see my true value and talents clearly. It was always there but for some reason it had been lost. It wasn't one specific practice or idea that helped me, but more the notion of... why would I not bet and believe in myself? I now feel better and our sessions have helped me in all areas of my life. Ambreen's kind and human approach is refreshing, inspirational and helpful. We are a team and I would recommend Ambreen to anyone looking to refresh their life and find their confidence again. Truly great!”

- Paul Telner, Entertainment Producer, Vancouver - May 2022


“This coaching was an investment in myself. With previous therapies, it was a bandaid for a moment. The best part of coaching with Ambreen is that I have learnt skills that will help me be a better person and have a better lift when things are up and when they are down too! I feel more at peace – I was wound tight and on edge, getting upset and taking on things that weren’t mine. I am now more reflective and have gratitude for my current situation, I am more present and in the moment, not the past or future, therefore reducing my anxiety and worries”.

- Adil Dhanani, Marketing Consultant, Calgary - August 2021

“There are two real take-aways from my work over 7 months with Ambreen: The first… One time she said something like “we as adults don’t dream anymore”. why is that? she said. We encourage our children to dream. And children do indeed dream. So why not us as adults?  The fact is I do dream…It is I, Jim, who wanted to dream and live out my truest dreams. To live out my un-lived life. Today, I can surely say this is my life. I am in the creative flow of life. Big time! The second… I had a dream of a six-figure income and this too is a reality soon. All this is happening. This is real. My new life, post death of my partner, post-bike accident, is finally starting to gain traction. This new life includes an abundance of income, a loving relationship and access to horses. So the question that now lays in front of me is balance – how to balance all of this that has come with this new life I have created. I’ll take it! Gladly.”

“My life has been a journey filled with lots of hurdles. I often would look up mental health treatments ... trying out psychologists both online and in person... however I always just vanished after 2 to 3 sessions.... as none of the talks were serving me.... I think my biggest achievement via life coaching with Ambreen and something that she was able to manage so efficiently was that I stayed the entire duration. I actually didn’t quit.... the sessions proved helpful and with each session, I was able to understand more of who I am and what I am capable of... Ambreen taught me how to shine in the face of adversity and in general as well... In short, she knows exactly what she’s doing and there is no going wrong with her as your life coach.”

- Fatima Magsi, Advertising Creative/Visual Artist, Dubai - February 2021


“Few people have the blessing of meeting a coach who can bring out your authentic self and help you to use that awareness to confidently take the next step to meet your goals. I had the pleasure of being a coaching client on the recommendation by a trusted elder. I was particularly impressed by Ambreen's ability to hear where I was at, and to effortlessly shift gears to support me. The skill to perceive not only my mental but emotional state came perfectly naturally to her. We even made a fun collaborative music playlist! Talk about personalizing coaching to the client's interests! You'd be lucky to have Ambreen as your coach!“

— Hussein Janmohamed, Senior Music Director, Toronto - October 2020


“I have been working with Ambreen as my business and life coach for just 5 sessions so far (or for only 2 months). I’ve gone from serious overwhelm and anxiousness to possibility and energy. But also accountability. Through our work together, I’ve discovered that when I am filling my cup, then I am thriving in my entirety, allowing me to fulfill my purpose in life. I am finding peace - I’m experiencing less conflict with others because I’m not expecting anything and instead creating my own beautiful possibilities. I’ve made HUGE strides in my business and my personal life goals. Which are now reflective and tangible. Not just hearsay. I have learnt the TRUE meaning of growth, self love and abundance. I feel like I’m bubbling on the inside... and we have just started.

As a postural alignment therapist and yoga therapist, my motto is “optimal posture = freedom in your movement and in your life.” To anyone looking to engage a coach I’d say “a life / business coach = optimal growth = optimal abundance and endless opportunity.”

— Rachna Patel, Entrepreneur & Founder of yogaliTy, Kenya - September 2020


“Working with Ambreen as my professional coach was valuable in enabling me to address the barriers in achieving my potential. Ambreen offered functional frameworks and tools I can use to deal with limiting beliefs and negative thoughts.

I can now identify certain thought patterns as contributors to my success and can distinguish behaviours that serve others instead of myself. The coaching process was helpful and empowering, both personally and professionally.”

— SB, Lawyer, Toronto - September 2020


“I have only been working with Ambreen for 1 month and I feel 100% confident in everything that I am expressing in this testimonial. She is incredibly inspiring and motivating to her clients. I thought our 1-on-1 sessions would be great (and they are), BUT the time that she takes outside of the sessions to follow up or provide validation when I am feeling uncertain is like none other. I feel so lucky to call her my coach! 

Initially, I reached out to Ambreen because I wanted to know which life coaching certification I should take in order to slowly follow my dream of becoming a coach. Within 1 session, she helped me realize that my life’s purpose was to help people and be a coach and challenged me to get a paid client to start my business. I knew I had to start working with her.

Within two sessions, I have paid clients, have built the confidence to cold call future clients, I am starting my certification next week, and I am building my own website. I am well on my way to achieve my why? to create abundance for myself and my clients.

If you have any uncertainty about working with Ambreen, let me rest assure you that she is the real deal and has a huge heart of gold. I cannot wait to see all the great accolades she will achieve in her quest for a juicy life ;)”

— Rahim Printer, Coach & HR Professional, Toronto - September 2020


“I was referred to Ambreen by a friend, and it couldn’t have come at a better time. I reached a point in my career that I had long been studying and working for but oddly enough, felt less passionate and driven once I reached those milestones. I worked with Ambreen to gain a better understanding of my core values and what helps motivate me. Through our conversations, I made certain realizations that I would have never made without Ambreen. She has a unique way of guiding conversations and asking the right questions to help encourage growth, at a career and personal level. At the end of our meetings, I walked away with so much clarity, and that clarity helped lead to important and drastic career decisions. After launching our business, healthybud, I haven’t looked back for a moment and couldn’t be happier with my decision to take the time to have those important conversations with Ambreen. I have recommended others to see Ambreen and wouldn’t hesitate to continue to do so. Ambreen is now a good friend of mine and we continue keeping in touch, whether it’s career related or not!”

— Kyle F, Entrepreneur, CoFounder & CEO healthybud, Toronto - September 2020


 “Ambreen is a highly relatable coach who quickly created the comfort and safety for me to let my guard down and be truly vulnerable. Her ability to provide a safe space was key to experiencing massive growth and improvements in all areas of my life! She approached our coaching sessions with a profound commitment to my self-awareness and growth. She posed many tough questions that pushed me outside my comfort zone.

Ambreen provided guidance and tools that taught me to meet and exceed the goals I had set for myself. As a result of working with Ambreen, I feel I can now better face any opportunity or adversity in my life with more confidence, and use the tools she shared with me. I am creating and living a life I love and am grateful for our work together!

— Nicole L., Nurse Manager, Toronto - April 2020

After turning 40, settling into my career and relationships life was pretty good, but I knew I wanted more out of my life now and in the future. It was very fortuitous timing when a friend introduced me to Ambreen, and we began working together. I immediately felt comfortable and safe and it was easy to open up and be vulnerable with her.  After working with Ambreen for almost a year I truly feel 1000% better, at 42 I finally feel comfortable in my own skin. I have a great deal more confidence and clarity in myself as a person and a professional.  Ambreen is knowledgeable, insightful and kind. She knows when to push, and when to let you sit. She guides you to what’s important to you and your values and challenges you to look at things from many different perspectives. Working with Ambreen has been extremely valuable, and I highly recommend her to anyone ready to work on bettering their life. Five stars, thanks Ambreen!!!

“Ambreen has the uncommon ability to listen to a person with laser focused attention and process the information in a way that when she tells you "I hear this..." you can understand those words but now, they make sense and are so clear. Using basic principles for personal growth, Ambreen helped me to tap on the wizard within me and identify my real path to contentment, fulfillment and happiness. I recommend to anyone who would like to take their life to the next level, to work with her and start that journey now!”
