Joy of Learning Network

Tina-Marie is a Certified Life Coach who has been connecting with people since 1981 in a variety of work and volunteer positions. She is passionate about working with children/youth and parents.  She has led Guide and Scout troops and visited many classes in several schools while coaching young people through their educational journeys.

As the mother of four diverse, self-directed learners, Tina has acquired intimate knowledge of many of the educational choices available in the Vancouver area. She has a deep compassion for her clients and understands their challenge to find an optimal setting that supports young people and allows them to grow, learn, and shine.

In her work and in her life, Tina has observed that when children shine, families flourish. She is committed to helping families discover an approach that allows passions to flourish and natural learning to unfold. Tina is ready to offer information and resources for the many families who find they are looking beyond the mainstream pedagogy and re-examining their beliefs about schooling.

Tina believes we have a responsibility to raise children in learning environments in which their unique learning needs are fully met and encouraged.  She brings warm enthusiasm, sensitivity, and deep respect for young people, offering them a safe and nurturing place for self-exploration.

Tina received her coaching and leadership development training from the Coaches Training Institute, (CTI) www.thecoaches.com , one of the largest accredited coach training institutions in the world. Tina is a Certified Professional Co-active Coach and a member of the International Coach Federation.  She has additional training in Organizational and Relationship Systems Coaching through the Centre for Right Relationship.
