My core principles are Creativity, Truth and Freedom and I bring these into everything I do. Because of this, I am committed to serving others by helping my clients to be creative in finding their own authentic beliefs and truth, so they can find freedom and live their true lives with joy. My unique purpose is to be a portal of change for those who will change the world!

I am also an artisan. I do stained glass and fibre arts. Ask me about it.

Life Coach: Libby has over 18 years of crisis responder experience working on distress lines and has worked with police and other agencies through her role with Victim Services. In 2016, she completed her Life Coaching education with Erickson International and is a member of the International Coaching Federation. Libby has her PCC (Professional Certified Coach) certification from the International Coaching Federation, TICC (Trauma Informed Certified Coach) with Moving the Human Spirit, an Honour Baccalaureate of Arts in Psychology from the University of Guelph and also completed a post degree certificate in Volunteer Management from Conestoga College.

“I have supported those in distress and crisis and I have also felt the burden of compassion fatigue. I always wondered if there was a way to support individuals to live the lives they want and fortify themselves from all the things life brings. Then I discovered Solution Focused conversation. I saw the change that can happen from a brief conversation that focuses on the persons strengths, values and past success and I was hooked. Real change happens when you focus on what you want and life coaching helps to connect people with their next steps!I initially started my university career at the University of Windsor and could easily have minored in Theology and Women Studies. I have been on a long spiritual journey and have experienced faith based shunning when I left a faith group during a time of personal crisis. I have deep empathy for individuals who have left , or been removed, from their faith and seeking to reinventing themselves.” Libby

Libby has had a life long connection with nature. Growing up on a farm just north of Shelburne and having ecological responsibility nurtured throughout her childhood: she is inspired, rejuvenated and passionate about the environment. Future expansion of her coaching practice will incorporate specialized coaching walks through specifically designed garden paths!

Artisan: Libby is also an artisan and her art will be posted on a website in the near future. Art and photography have been a life long passion for Libby. With the gift of her first Pentax camera from her Dad and the introduction to spinning, knitting and quilting from her Mom, there has been years of creativity. In a year of personal adjustment she also discovered stained glass and has now set up a home studio with her Daughter Meagen Ruttan as her artistic advisor.
