A Co-Active Coach® asks powerful questions, listens and empowers to bring forward the skills and creativity a client already possesses, rather than instruct or advise.  As a Senior Coach, she works with clients who are seeking to make positive changes in their health, their relationships, and their lives.  Janet is a Registered Nurse and has worked in numerous areas of healthcare including mental health, cardiology and health promotion.
