The Deep Listening Path, founded by Dr. Shumaila Hemani, offers a transformative approach to combating burnout through life coaching that blends mindfulness, social justice, and community resilience. As the founder and CEO, Dr. Hemani invites you to explore programs and tools designed to help you “Empower Yourself with Rest” and reclaim vitality. Through innovative coaching and mindfulness-based programs, The Deep Listening Path provides a sanctuary for individuals seeking to manage stress, support mental health, and promote well-being in a compassionate and culturally sensitive environment.

At the heart of The Deep Listening Path is the belief that “Rest is Sacred” and “Rest is Resistance.” In a world driven by constant productivity, taking the time to rest is celebrated as a radical act of self-care. The services are tailored to support individuals navigating complex challenges, including burnout, mental health concerns, and the well-being of marginalized communities. The REST Planner, one of the organization’s flagship tools, empowers clients to “Rest Better” by integrating evidence-based strategies into their daily routines, fostering resilience and sustainable recovery.

Dr. Hemani’s expertise as a certified positive neuroplasticity teacher and her advocacy for environmental sustainability bring a unique perspective to the coaching process. Her programs emphasize the interconnectedness of personal experiences, societal influences, and environmental factors, offering a holistic understanding of burnout that goes beyond individual well-being. Clients are equipped with effective strategies to enhance mental and emotional health, with a focus on mindful self-compassion, rest, and rejuvenation.

The commitment to intersectional justice is at the core of The Deep Listening Path’s work, ensuring all clients—particularly BIPOC, neurodiverse individuals, and marginalized communities—feel valued and understood. The inclusive and empathetic environment fosters a sense of safety and belonging, empowering clients to heal and thrive within their unique contexts. By giving yourself and your loved ones “the gift of rest,” you open the door to deeper self-discovery and sustained well-being.

The organization also emphasizes community through shared experiences. Workshops and masterclasses create spaces for clients to connect, share, and uplift each other on their healing journeys. Music and mindfulness techniques are seamlessly integrated, encouraging clients to tap into their creativity as a powerful tool for emotional healing and personal growth.

In addressing broader societal challenges, such as the mental health impacts of energy insecurity, The Deep Listening Path offers guidance on managing stress, anxiety, and challenges related to energy accessibility. Clients also learn to set and maintain healthy boundaries, protecting their emotional and mental well-being, even in unsupportive environments. The focus on rest as a cornerstone of resilience underscores the transformative power of their approach.

The organization’s dedication to sustainability and eco-friendly practices resonates with clients who value environmental responsibility. By supporting local markets and integrating ethical practices into their work, The Deep Listening Path adds an additional layer of meaning to the coaching experience. Recognized by outlets such as CEO-Weekly, Mental Health Today, and Wellbeing Magazine, The Deep Listening Path continues to inspire individuals and teams to embrace rest as a pathway to vitality and sustained impact.

The Ideal Life Experience Ltd. has been in business for 29 years. Better Business Bureau (BBB) accredited them in 2018.

The company primarily offers financial advice and financial coaching for its clients. Throughout its years of helping people with finances, they have received several awards, among them the best financial adviser award from the Canadian Business Awards in 2019.

Its founder and financial advisor, Dean Kendall, has a seamless track record in finance. Kendall has a degree in Finance and Marketing, as well as an extensive experience as a financial advisor and fiduciary.

Kendall has also published two books about finances. In addition, the company has published related articles, blogs, press releases, and even workshops.

We are amazed that Kendall and his company have clients still with them after more than a decade. Clients love that they are knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and know what financial advice fits them.

Regarding their financial coaching services, we found that they have a flat fee of $500. A flat fee is always an easy option since clients do not have to worry about additional charges further down the line.

But, we think this is quite expensive. Although we understand that the fact that its a niche service dictates the rates, theirs is twice more than the average in Canada, which is around $150-250.

Aside from that, the company requires an in-office visit for the first-time consultation. We wish that the company would provide the option to do online consultation for those who are still on the fence about committing to the service.

Change My Life Coaching has been in service since 2012. In 2019, BBB accredited the company.

The company offers various life coach services on career, leadership, relationship, and spirituality. It is also a two-time recipient of the Top Service Provider Award for Life Coaching by the Consumer Choice Award in 2020 and 2021.

We are glad to find that their two coaches, Christopher Lawrence and Kyle Kalloo, are licenced and certified by Certified Coaches Federation and Coach Transformation Academy.

Christopher’s life is inspiring because despite having a rough past (high school dropout and drug addict), he was still able to improve himself. As of today, he has a business diploma and has helped people’s lives for a decade.

Kyle, the entrepreneur coach, has an equally impressive story. He has a degree in education and psychology, which he uses to coach people on their business endeavours.

Regarding their coaching services, we like how they offer a free 15-minute consultation call for career coaching services. We think it is an excellent feature so clients can test if their coaching services is the best fit for their needs.

If clients want to proceed, we are happy to share that they accept face-to-face and online appointments. Clients can then choose the format they are most comfortable with.

The company also has a book, blogs, videos, and podcasts that clients or visitors can refer to if they want to get quick life advice.

But, unlike other life coach services, their rates are not posted on their website. Clients may be unable to decide quickly if their services fit their budget.

Also, they are only open four days a week. It may be difficult for clients to meet them if weekends are their best available days.

The KH Career Coaching provides career coaching services for anyone who feels lost in their current job or wants to switch to another career.

At the helm is life coach Kaylee Houde, who built the company in 2017. Her business received accreditation from BBB a year after.

Kaylee has an extensive background in life coaching. We found that she has a degree in Commerce (specialisation in Human Resources) and a master’s in Business Administration.

In 2018, Kaylee got her life coaching certificate from Erickson Certified Professional Coach (ECPC). 

We discovered that KH Career Coaching offers a free introductory consultation for clients. We are glad to know that the company’s hourly rate is $249, which is around the average in Canada.

Also, the company offers different coaching packages to fit different needs. The Premium package costs $1499, which runs for 6-12 weeks with 6 hours of one-on-one coaching together with other career coaching services.

Clients appreciate how friendly, knowledgeable, and on-point Kaylee is. Many clients who sought her help for career transitioning were happy that their new jobs finally aligned with their passion and interest.

However, the company does not offer other types of coaching, unlike the others in this list.

Aside from that, the company has no publications or anything related. Although this is understandable since they are relatively young, clients can know them better if they have at least a couple.

Lastly, Kaylee conducts consultations virtually. While this is an opportunity for her to connect with clients even outside Calgary, those who prefer face-to-face sessions may find this to be a dealbreaker.

The Relationship Coaches was created in 2019.

Led by Lindsay Hammond and Lisa Jones, the company was a recent business partnership by these two life coaches. 

They have a solid background in their field, as Lindsay has a degree in Commerce and Lisa has a degree in the arts. Both are Certified Professional Co-Active Coaches of Coaches Training Institute and members of the International Coaching Federation.

In terms of programmes, the company provides coaching on personal life, relationship, and family. Clients have options on how they would like to interact with their coach: either by one-one-one, relationship tune-up, or online.

What caught our attention was their relationship tune-up service. Under this service package, clients can pick one intensive coaching service (either focused on life, relationship, or family)  wherein they can get a one-hour video coaching session and a summary and action plan report.

This is a great way to invite in clients who want some quick expert insights but don’t have the time to commit to a series of sessions.

We also like how they provide a 30-minute follow-up coaching session for four weeks of the coaching session. It invites accountability and allows the coaches to check in on their clients and their action plans.

Apparently, both coaches are also known for their ability to make clients immediately feel at ease. One client’s parent was grateful for how Lindsay and Lisa helped her adolescent daughter gain self-confidence and relational awareness.

It’s just a bit disappointing that they only conduct virtual sessions. Some people don’t do well with video-based meetings, especially when it comes to discussions about their personal lives.
