Meet Kas

After 25 fulfilling years working in the social profit sector, I made the decision to retire in 2021, right in the midst of the pandemic. I intentionally stepped away from the busy pace of my career to simply BE.

Be present, be outside, be with my life partner and my adult kids and their dogs, be active, be able to take a road trip or accept a house sit somewhere near or far away. What a privilege this was and what a wonderful journey back to ME.

Having already completed yoga teacher training and trauma-informed yoga certification back in 2015, I started Holistic Coach training through the ICF-accredited Holistic CoachTraining Institute. Working mostly with women beyond 55, I was particularly tuned into my clients’ fears about aging. This sparked my curiosity and has led to a focus on working with budding crones like myself who want to see this chapter of aging as an acceptable state of being. Training to be a Certified Sage-ing Leader, graduating in March 2025 was a natural progression for me. 

My work has never been more enjoyable and satisfying. It is so heart filling for me to support individuals and groups as they embark on their individual and collective passages through their experiences as they arrive into their older selves, their wisdom and their ripening, so to speak. More often than not, their healing from inner ageism and extrinsic narratives is a welcomed outcome of the process. 

I live in Victoria BC and offer personal coaching nation wide using phone or Zoom.  My workshops and Wisdom Circles are offered in person at various locations and occasionally, via Zoom. 

It would be my pleasure to work with you!   

What people are saying

“Approaching retirement I felt uncertain about making the transition from being an in-demand professional to potential irrelevance. I had read several books on retirement to prepare myself, but none of them truly spoke to me. Working with Kas I have come to more fully appreciate the sage within to listen to and respect my own voice as I journey into my next satisfying chapter in life.”

“Timing was perfect when I participated in a holistic coaching series with Kas as I had recently retired without any time or structure for deep reflection. The coaching process led to critical questions for me to sit with, which when answered, brought me clarity on how I truly want to live my third chapter. Not only do I feel set up for this next phase of life, I have also been equipped with the tools to continue this ongoing process on my own. It was a tremendous opportunity and one that I can highly recommend!”

“I was invited to join a wisdom circle and was quite uncertain about it. Turns out, it was one of the best things I have ever done! Kas is a gentle guide who allows the members of the circle to make it what we want, yet she shares generously of her wisdom and knowledge in this area to guide us.”
