Penny thinks people are fabulous and it is this love for people that drives all aspects of her life, from work to family to friends and recreation. Penny works to optimize potential, balance and fulfillment in her own life and she encourages others to do the same.

A Harbourview Retreat Bed and Breakfast is the hub for much of Penny’s daily life. Not only is Harbourview an oasis in the city for travelers taking advantage of the B&B, but it is also a place for people to grow and make changes through Penny’s Personal Coaching business – LifeJourney coaching. The aim of LifeJourney is to walk alongside clients in their endeavors to live life well.

Penny has professional training from the Coaches Training Institute. This training, combined with her experience raising a family while living in community and taking on the roles of mentor, teacher and counselor has equipped Penny to lead others on journeys of growth and change. An ability to listen well, to strategize and plan, and to cut to the heart of the matter, all in an environment of warmth and acceptance, make working with Penny a safe and effective way to grow.

Individuals often come to Penny at moments of transition or upon recognizing that something in their lives is not working satisfactorily. From the beginning of the coaching relationship, Penny presents no agenda of her own, but rather helps her clients discover what their agenda is. As one client remarked at the end of a coaching session, "You’ve helped me see what I think."

Penny emphasizes "being" over "doing", challenging her clients to describe who they want to be in life, both broadly and in specific daily interactions and situations. This journey begins as a process of clarifying values and uncovering dreams. Ultimately, it becomes a discovery of balance. A strong believer in choice, Penny believes this balance is achieved by intentional living. She moves clients from a place of simply responding to life’s circumstances to an active posture of creating healthy life conditions.

Penny is a grace-giver. She sees the entire coaching process as a journey of assessment, decision-making, re-assessment and intentionality. She feels blessed to accompany so many remarkable and unique people on their journeys.
