We’re Ashley and Larissa, and we’re on a mission to help others thrive in their careers.
We founded Windrose Coaching Studio in 2020 after a night spent around a campfire talking about our own career goals — and realizing we were both craving something more.
We had met almost a decade earlier, working as career development consultants at a highly ranked post-secondary career centre. We were guiding students and graduates through career exploration and job search, delivering professional development workshops, and managing an award-winning, career-focused mentorship program — all while raising busy families. We had both achieved the goals we set for ourselves early on, but we knew we had more to give.
That night around the campfire, we discovered that meaningful work is at the heart of career satisfaction for both of us. The kind of meaning that leaves you feeling like you contributed something positive to the world. And for us, there’s nothing more meaningful than helping others feel happier and more fulfilled in their careers.
We know it’s not always easy to figure out what path to take, what changes to make, or where to even start — and that’s exactly where we come in.
Whether you’re choosing a career path for the first time, looking for a new direction, or taking a serious look at what needs to change so you can feel happier at work — we’re here for it. We work alongside you to help you reach your goals, because we want you to truly thrive in your career.
As experienced career counsellors, each with over 15 years in career development and specialized training in solution-focused brief coaching, we’ll help you get clear on the direction you want to go and build a plan to get there.
You are in charge of where you go from here.
Windrose Coaching Studio is based in London and Dorchester, Ontario, offering virtual services across Canada and in-person team building workshops in Southwestern Ontario.
