— Welcome to Know Me Well
About me
Hi, I'm Anthea.
My strength is seeing through and tackling complex issues. Asking the right questions so that clarity, meaning and ways forward can surface together.
It is important to see and navigate the big picture rather than just focusing on a single “issue”. We are complex beings, facing multiple issues in different life circumstances and people we encounter.
Together, we can.
Supporting You
My Background

Experience
I bring over a decade of leading /coaching people to be a better version of themselves in different capacities, to holistically support individuals in overcoming hardship and finding hope.
I find synergies in continually learning and better supporting you by joining you in where you are and offering curiosity, attentive listening, compassion so that strength can be found from within.
With personal experience of living overseas and integrating into Canadian culture, I understand cultural dynamics that can affect how we see the world and ourselves.

Fun Facts
When I'm not busy, I enjoy spending time with my family and children in biking, swimming and doing art. I love trying new cuisines and recipes. Baking is not my thing though. To unwind, I have my warm cream of earl grey tea and connect with my loved ones. My favorite color is green (as you can tell)! =)
It is about experiencing our relational, physical and emotional beings together, to find radical acceptance and strengths, overcome mental blocks, explore authenticity and hope.

My focus is to journey with you in knowing yourself well and to be known by others in a way you did not appreciate before.
