About Us
Our individual and couple life coaching sessions are by donation, with the amount up to you. We also offer virtual visits. Early on, we decided that finances should not be a barrier for people seeking help. As a result, we work on a donation basis, ensuring that everyone has access to our services regardless of their financial situation. This work is our passion rather than our primary source of income. It is driven by our commitment to helping others and making a positive impact, rather than by financial gain.
Christopher Oliphant and Ronna Smithrim have been married since 1991. We have been on a conscious journey since the mid 1980’s. In the late 1990s, we decided to extend our journey by helping others. We began offering individual and couple sessions, as well as running one-day and weekend workshops. Our work focuses on assisting people in building better relationships within their inner world.
We are life coaches, not therapists. We do not establish therapeutic relationships. We offer tools for personal and spiritual growth and help you learn to use those tools in your own life.
In our work with couples, we help each person use these tools to understand their own reactions, listen with curiosity, and communicate with greater care. These tools can also give couples a common language when difficulties arise. Practising together can create more room for intimacy, love, and connection.
We used several models to develop these tools to access our unconscious
- Radical Acceptance - a tool developed by us
- Archetype Cards
- Internal Family Systems – Richard Swartz
- Carl Jung - grandfather of archetypes
- Indigenous medicine wheel
- Chakras
- Buddhism
- Christianity
- Hinduism
Through cultivating a new relationship based on acceptance and compassion, we can begin living healthier and more functional lives. This approach allows us to address and transform the underlying issues that impact our well-being and relationships.
