There are two ways to be stuck. Sometimes you don’t like your choices. You’re stuck because you don’t know how to get out or how to get better. You think you’ve made changes but you always seem to end up with the same frustration.
The other way to be stuck is to be good at what you’re doing now. That doesn’t sound like stuck, but it keeps you in the same place. It feels good to be competent, but it doesn’t always let you grow. The more practical and emotional reasons there are to fear failure, the more you keep doing exactly what you’re doing now. It’s exhausting.
NLP coaching is for people who want to find the perspective to identify better choices and the energy and focus to make them. NLP techniques will allow you to understand your experiences in new ways and find the confidence to move forward.
NLP coaches direct you through the techniques but they never tell you what to feel or what to do next. That’s up to you. Sometimes they might assign homework as a way to help you test a solution or a next step. Like a sports coach, they can teach you the rules and strategies of the game but you will play it on your own.
All the coaches at NLP Canada Training have years of experience inside and beyond NLP. Explore them all to find the one who is the best fit for your particular brand of stuck.
I was not quite seventeen when I qualified as a rep soccer coach. It was the very early years of the National Coaching Certification Program and I had passed the referee test, the theoretical coaching test, and the practical test. In my first month with my soccer team of 11- and 12-year-old girls, one smashed her bike into a car, one lost her dad to a heart attack, and one broke her leg during an exhibition game. It was so long ago that there were no cell phones. I had to knock on a nearby door and borrow a phone to call an ambulance. . . and her parents.
My introduction to coaching wasn’t easy. It taught me that my first role was to be brave enough to stay focused on what my team needed. I practiced holding space, seeing the game as it was played, and suggesting the small moves that change results.
Over the decades I have learned a lot… about language, about stories, about NLP, and about neuroscience. I’ve even taken coaching courses. I know what the ICF says, and I respect the same ethics. But none of this has changed the core of coaching for me.
My role as a coach is to see your problems and your strengths at the same time. From this point of view, I can help you identify new boundaries, new goals, and new strategies for moving forward. When you talk, you’ll know you have my full attention. And when I talk, you’ll hear the shifts in perspective and information that get you thinking.
The role of a coach is to set you up for success. The same goal that applied to coaching a young soccer team has applied to coaching an executive through a major transition, and to individuals working through feelings about their own changing lives and work. In NLP, setting you up for success means using NLP techniques to isolate problems and animate goals. And then helping you recognize the strengths and experiences that will move you forward. One step at a time.
How long does this take? It might take a session or it might take a year. It depends on your situation and on the value you place on the ability to shift perspectives, tell different stories, and own the choices you make. Why don’t we start with a phone call?

I’d love to hear your story.
Philip is a certified NLP CANADA Master Practitioner and Mindfulness Coach with experience in coaching in person and online.
Coaching is a way to help people develop and maintain strategies that give them the confidence that they have the best opportunity to achieve their goal. Coaching helps clients to consciously identify the attributes and skills already available to them so that they are able to reorganize those resources into useful patterns and practices that can be easily accessed.
Philip combines NLP and Mindfulness in his practice to help clients improve their ability to choose and maintain useful states; gain confidence by learning how to integrate positive experiences; understand rapport and how it helps us to connect with others and influence positive outcomes; prepare for and set achievable goals and visualize a more desired future.

Strategic Mentor & Coach in Personal Leadership and Transformation
I help Black women leaders who feel like they are carrying the weight of everyone and everything rediscover their voice, reconnect with who they truly are, and make decisions aligned with their values. This, so they can lead with greater clarity, courage, and integrity rather than guilt, obligation, or the need to please everyone around them.
For many Black women leaders, being capable, dependable, and strong can become both a strength and a burden. You may be the one everyone turns to (the problem-solver, the supporter, the one who gets things done) while your own needs, boundaries, and well-being keep moving to the bottom of the list.
Our coaching work creates space to step out of that pattern.
Together, we work to shift the patterns, perspectives, and beliefs that may be keeping you stuck in over-responsibility, self-doubt, people-pleasing, or constantly putting yourself last. My goal is to help you reclaim your personal power and create a life where professional success no longer comes at the expense of your peace, your relationships, or your presence with the people you love.
As a certified NLP Master Practitioner (NLP Canada Training) and Leadership Transformation Coach, I draw on NLP and leadership coaching to help you develop greater self-awareness, expand your choices, and create meaningful change in how you think, communicate, respond, and lead.
Through coaching, you can expect to build:
Strategic Problem-Solving & Decision Clarity
Move beyond feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Gain clarity on the root of the issue, explore new perspectives and possibilities, and develop a realistic action plan that supports faster, more confident decision-making.
Flexibility & Perspective Expansion
Expand your ability to see situations from different perspectives and respond with greater flexibility. Build confidence in navigating conflict, strengthen adaptability in leadership and relationships, and develop greater emotional maturity.
Strength Activation & Identity Reinforcement
Reconnect with your strengths, resources, and capabilities. Strengthen self-trust and confidence while reinforcing an identity that supports how you want to show up, lead, and create impact.
Emotional Regulation & Self-Management
Learn to recognize and shift unhelpful emotional and behavioural patterns so you can respond rather than react. Develop better stress management, greater resilience, and increased confidence when navigating difficult conversations and challenging situations.
Better Communication & Boundary Expression
Communicate with greater clarity, intention, and confidence. Develop stronger boundaries, reduce unnecessary conflict in your personal and professional relationships, and strengthen your influence, credibility, and leadership presence.

I am Lori Pearn, a NLP Master Practitioner Coach who utilizes the modalities of Nature Therapy, Death Doula Training and Grief Education, along with exploration of our senses, using art, music and movement.
Life is an ongoing journey of transitions: a continuous landscape of beginnings, endings, and the sacred cycles we navigate while being alive. As a certified NLP Canada Training Master Practitioner, Certified Forest Therapy Guide, Death Doula and Grief Educator, I have created a place to provide compassionate, grounded space for those moving through profound personal changes, sense of loss, and life evolution.
I bridge the cognitive precision of Neuro-Linguistic Programming with the steady, restorative rhythm of the natural world. By bringing coaching out of traditional spaces and onto the coastal trails, forests, and shores, I encourage you to invite nature to act as a powerful co-facilitator in your healing journey. This coaching can be accomplished both in person and online through sensory awareness.
I use NLP techniques to help you gently map and update your internal mental patterns, creating shifts in life’s loops, and breaking free from limiting beliefs and self sabotaging traps. This allows you to honor the past while opening up new choices for your future. Nature Therapy doesn’t rush yet accomplishes everything needed to resiliently grow from surviving to thriving. By integrating outdoor somatic pacing and nature’s seasonal metaphors, I help you physically step through emotional blocks, anchor feelings of stability, and find a reflective mirror for your internal experiences.
Endings are a natural, inevitable part of being alive. But so are beginnings. The twin pillars of existence completely woven into the natural cycle of life.
This integrated practice is uniquely designed for individuals who are:
