I’m Adanna Laing, MSW and Certified Life Coach.
You desire more from life, but have no idea how to achieve it. You want to grow into a better version of yourself, but the change you desire seems so gigantic, that you sometimes think it’s impossible. Your past, limiting beliefs about yourself, lack of tools, structures, motivation, maps and accountability are keeping you STUCK. You hate it, but have no idea how to get out of this rut of stagnation, and you sometimes feel like giving up. It's likely that you've even tried-several times-to change, but you keep ending up in the same place, only now, you're even more discouraged.

Now more than ever, life can feel challenging and stressful, where we do not give time to nurturing the needs of our mind and body. Reaching out for support is often the hardest process of change and I am here to begin this journey with you, every step of the way. My goal is to provide a sanctuary for holistic healing and growth. I recognize that true wellness is like a tree — deeply rooted in the soul, nourished through mindful practices, and blossoming into a life of balance and fulfillment. I am committed to nurturing not just the symptoms but the roots of your well-being.

It's time to feel and see how powerful you are. I help women overcome self-defeating and worrisome thoughts and live a calm and fulfilling life. Stress and trauma affects how you feel, think, behave, and how your body works. This can manifest as anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and/or addiction. I treat you as a whole person (body, mind, and spirit), personalizing various modalities like Hypnosis, Mindfulness, CBT, DBT, and Nervous System Re-training to work for you so distress is released and healthy patterns are established. I teach you skills so that you live a happy, peaceful, and meaningful life.

Some life chapters are difficult to travel through, but in every season there can be moments of beauty and joy.
Have you ever felt alone, disconnected or abandoned? I’ve had those moments too. Growing up amidst parental mental illness came with a lot of challenges but it also gave me compassion and understanding. We needed the support of a caring community of family and friends to help us walk through many difficult times. My lived experiences inspired me to study psychology and human behavior for much of my adult life. This pursuit has provided me with the opportunity to help others so they can feel supported on their journey.

Life Coaching Counsellors
What can I expect from life coaching?
Clients and coaches will typically start by identifying the problem area(s) that the client hopes to address—then, the coach will help the client brainstorm potential solutions and explore concrete techniques to help the client attain their goals. Coaching is typically short-term and focused on finding solutions in the here and now, rather than exploring a client’s past. In addition to strategies aimed at the client’s specific concerns, coaches may encourage general stress management techniques such as meditation.
Can a life coach help treat anxiety?
Because the majority of life coaches are not licensed clinicians, they are not qualified to diagnose or treat anxiety. Anyone struggling with anxiety or another mental health condition should seek help from a licensed mental health practitioner. However, some coaching clients who struggle with subclinical anxiety report that working with their coach on other problems—such as career dissatisfaction or unhealthy habits—has a positive effect on their anxiety.
Can life coaching be done online?
Yes. While life coaching often happens in person, many coaches conduct sessions over the phone or via online platforms such as Zoom or Skype. Because life coaches are not subject to local licensing regulations in the same way that therapists are, they are able to see clients who live in other locations.
How long does life coaching last?
Life coaching tends to be a shorter-term process than therapy, though it does not always unfold over a specific period of time and is instead based on the coach’s or the client’s preferences. Coaching often takes place over three to 12 months but may be shorter or longer if necessary.
