Hi, I’m Cayley

I am an experienced, Vancouver-based coach and facilitator of 17 years, who leads with kindness.

I am a mom to a sensitive, four year old boy.

I am pregnant with our second through the miracle of IVF after experiencing secondary infertility.

I am a certified yoga and meditation teacher.

I am compassionate, grounded, kind, and also fierce.

I am a fan of getting sweaty. And quiet.

I am a lover of peanut M&Ms.

I am celebrating three years of starting my own coaching business after 14 years leading personal and leadership development work in the corporate world.

I am many things, just like you. And I will acknowledge all of you.

Here’s the full story…

I have coached and led workshops and retreats for thousands of people globally throughout my career, most recently as part of the Mindful Performance team at lululemon’s head office.

I’ve supported people through major transitions, identity shifts, overwhelm, burnout, guilt, regret, shame and also to fulfillment, clarity, joy, presence and self-compassion. Through the years, many coaching clients and workshop attendees have been parents, and I’ve noticed that the experiences of parents - particularly mothers - are often hidden, unspoken and unsupported.

Becoming a mom myself was the catalyst for this business. I saw firsthand that the mother is often the afterthought, yet she is essential in families and in society. There’s a belief that the transition to mother is simply an event, yet I believe that the transition to mother is a personal journey that continues for a lifetime. A mother is always evolving and becoming the mother that is needed at this current stage, and she needs support throughout this evolution. 

My current work coaching moms is the culmination of my psychology and sociology studies, my experience leading personal and leadership development work, my study and teaching of yoga and meditation, my own experience as a mother, conversations with moms in prenatal class, kids music class, at the playground, over coffee, and learning from midwives, doulas, sociologists and psychologists. I have also been mentored by the world’s leading researcher on matrescence, Dr. Aurelie Athan at Columbia University, and completed my Motherhood Studies Practitioner Certification with Dr. Sophie Brock, Motherhood Studies Sociologist.

This work is my passion.
