Testimonials & Reactions
"Donna Moriarty is a locksmith of one`s personal soul potential. Creative, efficient and holistic in her methods, she held up a mirror for me and illuminated the paths I was unable to see due to long held blockages. She walked me through myself while letting me set the pace. I am on the road to fullness because of her skills and energetic gifts. She has literally changed my life."  
--KD, Ontario

 “I am the kind of person who would come up with a great project but end up doing nothing about it, as I would quickly become mired in fears and premonitions of failure, and end up disoriented by an avalanche of details inherent in any undertaking.  Donna’s patient and insightful coaching gave me tools to get in touch with my internal strengths and wisdom.  In the process of our working together I learned to accept myself and to define what I wanted and needed to achieve my goals.  I also learned to give up the notion that I had to control every detail, and instead I began to see how to surf the tidal wave of phenomena and minutiae, working with life’s unpredictable currents rather than attempting to control forces infinitely greater than myself.  At the same time, I came to understand that no meaningful action is possible without thorough knowledge of one’s resources, and learned the discipline to discern patterns in chaos and to channel that knowledge into a realistic plan of action.  With Donna’s gentle nudging, I found the courage to confront my fears and peek under the bed, so to speak -- and found not monsters and ogres but only dust bunnies and a couple of lost socks…”

Mom’s Groups

CELEBRATE MOMS!   (and the women who are moms)!

Moms' groups are a fabulous way to celebrate our brilliance and revive ourselves so we can be more fully alive and more available to those we care most about.

I invite you to enjoy a casual meeting with others who are considering participating in a group.  Simply email me with a request to try one out.

·         In this introductory meeting, we'll workshop together to create a mom's job description.  Afterwards, if you would like to join a newly forming group, we will have a private discussion about what is most important to you, and I will place you together with others who share your vision and values.  (There is absolutely no obligation or expectation for the initial meeting.  Simply come and enjoy yourself.) If you choose to join a group more formally, the group you join will include women who share similar desires for the group flavour. 

Most groups meet biweekly and begin with a presentation on a topic of interest which supports our wellbeing and resourcefulness as mothers and vibrant women, followed by relaxed yet heartfelt discussion which celebrates our perspectives and wisdoms relating to the topic.

Individual Coaching for Dream Incubation or Goal Setting

Package includes 3 sessions of one-on-one coaching to help incubate a Dream, Interest, Venture or Gain Momentum on a change that you are undertaking or considering.  This includes clarifying what it is that you want to pursue as I find that many people are aware they want to do something, but haven’t found a way to crystallize what it will look like.

These 3  (1-hr) sessions may take place on the phone (long-distance) or in person if you are in the GTA

Whether the goal is something fundamental or bold, well formed or just a seed of an idea, I treat all my clients with the same attention and commitment.

·         Fundamental: keeping the sink clean, kids fed, and finances in order, all with a sense of confidence and good humour

·         Bold: writing a novel, creating a masterpiece, changing careers, starting a business…                     

~What are you most  itching to do???~

I invite you to experience a complementary 30 minute coaching conversation to learn whether we are a good fit.  Simply email me to schedule one.

Mom's Mandate

Mom’s are brilliant!  We know what we are up to.  This mandate was written by a group I facilitated.  It describes the essence of our role.  In our own words, I give you the Mom’s Mandate, written by moms, for moms.

We strive:

©      To grow the ability to thrive in those we hold most dear

©      To feel our power and worth in our efforts, actions and interactions

©      To meet basic human needs and rights
