My Story:

…began in a loving home with my French parents who survived World War II in France. My grandparents were of French, Russian, and Spanish descent. Both my father and maternal grandfather were in the French Resistance; my grandfather having died in a concentration camp for the deep love of his country and his compatriots. They were both role models of humanity and strength for me. All my siblings were born in France, I being the only Canadian born. I married an amazing South African man, with a Black, White, Filipino and Hottentote mix. Together with a beautiful flavour of cultures, we raised 2 amazing children and are blessed with 3 beautiful grandchildren.

My 10-year-old Wheaten Terrier, “Spirit”, is my precious go to when times challenge me, which at times they certainly can.

CONNECT WITH LILIANE

A gregarious fun-loving woman who played the roles of nurse, supervisor, leader, executive coach, mother, wife, daughter, and even singer.

In my late 30s and early 40s, as a dedicated oncology nurse, I faced the daily challenges of healthcare. At home, my family consisted of two children, a loving husband, and my aging parents, who needed my assistance due to my father’s failing health.

My heart was perpetually pulled in multiple directions. The weight of nursing responsibilities, patient needs, and family obligations pressed upon me, creating a constant worry. How was I supposed to be the caring nurse, the loving mother, the responsible daughter, and the devoted wife – without letting anyone see how hard it really was?

After a 6-month sabbatical my life changed. I have never been the same since. I am filled with gratitude as my lessons continue for myself and my clients. Are you ready to start the journey with me?
