Introduction: Vanessa Drew


Hi there, welcome to Pacific Coaching. I’m Vanessa, and I’m glad you’re here. I am a University of British Columbia trained coach, and a member of the International Coaching Federation. My goal is to meet people where they are, wherever teyt may be – Zoom comes in handy here, in a non-judgmental way. My coaching philosophy is to hold a safe space in partnership with clients, to acknowledge what is in the present, and to work towards client centered goals.

Through one-on-one sessions, clients will have space to think, to process, to discover ideas and plan goals as we engage in conversation. Questions will be thought provoking and reflective in a comfortable experience. My clients write their own narrative; I am there to assist.

Life brings with it the unexpected, challenges, twists and turns – and this is not always bad. Having the space and freedom to meet these situations can be rewarding. My favourite Latin phrase is Mergitur nec fluctuat – we are all rocked by the sea, how we respond to it is the key to a fulfilling life.

Mergitur nec fluctuat – they are rocked by the waves but do not sink
