LifePath Training

LifePath training is aimed at “change-makers”—those who strive to create social change in their own lives and in the lives of the people they care about.

LifePath Training appeals to those who approach life with a desire to become increasingly conscious in nurturing their relationships and fulfilling their life purpose, whatever that may be.

“People need unrelenting advocacy. Great results and fruits come from great labours, great steadiness. Nothing of great importance will happen without advocacy.”
    —Michael Kendrick

LifePath Facilitation

aims to inspire and engage individuals with disabilities to embrace their adult lives by fostering meaningful relationships and encouraging active participation in major life decisions. As an Independent Facilitator, I support individuals, alongside their families and loved ones, in articulating their vision and navigating the steps necessary to create a fulfilling life that highlights their unique talents and contributions to their communities.

LifePath Mentoring

is a life-changing experience for independent facilitators seeking not just guidance but a transformative apprenticeship in the intricate art of facilitation and planning. We recognize that this realm demands a nuanced set of skills and capacities, honed and proven over time.

“I now understand how I need to step back, as my daughter’s voice. I want to shift my imagination from pushing her into a stage of life, to helping her find her way.”

—Navigating the Journey to Adulthood participant

“The insights I have gained are truly valuable in the sense that I now understand that the difficult questions and conversations must take place, regardless of how difficult they are.  If they feel so difficult that they keep us awake at night, sweeping them under the rug, only makes the problems worse.  By having the dedicated conversations in a safe way, we began to realize a relief, beyond our imaginations.”

—Fostering Conversations that Matter participant

“I was moved by the complex understanding of what my daughter has experienced as an individual, and how she has been put in the space of not being heard/seen/listened to, and how this has affected her ability to be empowered, experience growth, and individuate from me, as her mother.” 

—Navigating the Journey to Adulthood participant

“Judith explains her understanding to others, in a way which, in itself, makes one 'think' differently."

—Conscious Listening and Speaking participant

“This course just opened my eyes to how easy it is for us as we go through life, putting our leisure on the side burner, because we are caught up in excuses, and that feeling of guilt for doing what we love.”

—Developing Leisure Identities participant

“I think the thing that really struck me, was being actually heard. I have to think about that some more, but the experience really is validating. It makes you almost feel more real. I felt something new.”

—Conscious Listening and Speaking participant

“The materials in her mindfulness course were invaluable and the conversations were rich, and allowed for a deepening understanding of how mindful practice can enrich your life and ground the work we strive for as Independent facilitators.”
