Welcome to Forest Hill Coaching
About Me
Hello! I am Naj. Life & wellness coach, founder of Forest Hill Coaching, artist and designer.
I started my artistic practice at Gerrit Rietveld academy, Amsterdam focusing on art and design. Explored autonomous fine art at the Royal Academy of Art, the Hague, and continued my studies at the University of Arts, London, UK along with the minor of Psychoanalysis.
Becoming a coach was a natural life journey that happened through becoming a mom. "A new chapter that led into another Metamorphosis". I quitted my beloved lecturer position at Seneca College in Ontario to tap into a new self discovery space. The new window was so meaningful and inspiring that I decided to pursue a course of Life and Wellness Coaching in Canada Coach Academy (CCA). Since then it's all about waking up to something more than a career every morning. Extra layer of meaning, ultimate joy, love of sharing and learning from others.
In my studio and online sessions, I provide a safe space for my clients (Thinking Partners) to walk along their challenging self discovery journey, feeling felt, being seen, being heard and getting gotten. In my Art and Wellness courses I use art, mindfulness, and coaching techniques to create a unique platform for participants to connect with their inner self, discover their authentic self and fulfill goals.
Beyond coaching I am a nature lover, art geek, food creator, biker and traveller.
Please feel free to connect for a free discovery call to learn more about me and my approach.
Mission
Nature and Art are two key elements in my coaching style. I create a unique platform for my clients to connect with their inner self, discover their authentic self and fulfill goals. I have collaborated with museums and art centres around the world as well as inviting clients to my inspiring studio and virtual classes to empower them to choose the path that is right for them.
My approach is to work collaboratively with clients to help them identify their strengths, overcome limiting beliefs, and develop practical strategies for achieving their goals. Here at Forest Hill we believe that coaching is a process of self-discovery and we are committed to provide a supportive and non-judgmental space for our clients to explore their inner world.
