Raelene’s unwavering support backed by her depth of knowledge and experience makes her the perfect choice when I am looking for a new perspective. As I’ve gotten to know her, she continues to impress me with her well-honed listening skills. She has the ability to grasp the salient morsels that are needed to move the agenda forward towards the desired goals and outcomes. Raelene articulates the feelings that I could not identify by myself. Raelene is the person you should call to get you going in the right direction.

Raelene is amazing! Talk with her. She’s a great listener and helped me open up about aspects of my life I’d told very few people about. Sometimes just talking to someone outside your family and social circle can bring you a new perspective and can be a first step in getting both your true self back as well as getting your life back on track. Raelene was a bright light when I was in the dark. There was no judgment and the conversation flowed so naturally. I would recommend that you talk to her even if you are unsure of what to say or where to begin. I did and I continue to reap the benefits. It could be that one conversation that gets you your life back.

In less than half of my sessions, Raelene helped me do this and my life has improved dramatically ever since. One of the best things about this program (Surviving to Thriving) is that it adapts along the way in whichever way is needed. The information in the workbook is extremely beneficial and covers things that people can go their entire life without discovering. Meeting my coach, Raelene, was truly a blessing. She has a gift of not only listening but hearing and guiding you towards amazing decisions and possibilities. Thank you, Raelene!

“I have been fortunate to have Origin Founder, Raelene as my Executive Coach and continue to work with her in an ongoing capacity. My position as Managing Director, Corporate Banking at Bank of China (Canada) can be challenging and demanding and I reached out to Raelene during a particularly challenging period.

Raelene has the rare ability to assess the situation beyond the surface and get to the deeper issues that needed to be addressed. She helped me identify that my personal life needed to be addressed and worked on before I could look at reorganizing or changing my work environment. Her support, insight, and depth of knowledge have been invaluable to both my professional and personal life.

Raelene is an incredible coach and leader. From my experience, she is the best in the business.”

Zubair Mumtaz - MBA Managing Director, Corporate Banking (Canada) at Bank of China, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

“I have known Raelene in a professional capacity for 18 years and I have worked with her in a variety of roles; and I have been a client of her coaching business, seeking her advice on team development and issues resolution.

In each of these roles, she has shown strong leadership. She has always demonstrated strong creative vision, and through the years, I have seen her hone her ability to effectively convey that vision to members of her team, colleagues and business partners, inspiring them to work harder or explore further. She also has a gift for recognizing the central issue of problem situations and identifying solutions, either on her own or through consultation.

Raelene has always impressed me with her deep commitment to the projects she takes on. This was most apparent to me in her coaching role. Where most business coaches are reluctant to cross into personal coaching, Raelene realized that some of her clients needed both, and the great lengths she went to in order to ensure that they got what they needed demonstrating to be a high level of commitment to her clients’ success and professional development.”

"Working with Barbara has provided me with new clarity in my business, and has proven crucial in taking it to the next level. She guided me to develop a solid vision and gave me step by step tools to achieve my goals. With continuous support and encouragement, she helped me see that my goals were achievable. I felt she took the time to really understand what makes me and my business unique and helped me develop a plan to create systems so that I have more time to do what I love, which is working with my patients to achieve their health goals through naturopathic medicine”.
