What is Compassionate Inquiry?

“i’ve spoken with close to a dozen coaches and counsellors over the last 7 years and it wasn’t until i started having session with casey-jo that i truly felt like i started healing. the coaching sessions i have with cj feel like i’m talking with a long time friend, one that i trust and respect, and feel at ease talking with. her ability to listen, ask questions that promote thought and provide answers, and give meaningful and valuable feedback is a breath of fresh air that has helped me to be happier and feel like i’m making progress in my goal of being mentally healthier and stronger. i’ve discussed a myriad of topics with casey-jo, from death and grief, to relationships, family life, depression, anxiety, work life, and finding a way to balance the emotions and experiences that come with all of those topics. casey-jo has undoubtedly helped me to understand and manage my thoughts and emotions in a way that is making me a happier person; one that is more capable of self-reflection and confident in my decisions. whether you’re trying coaching for the first time, or you’ve tried so many coaches that you’ve felt like giving up on the idea of a life coach, i would absolutely recommend casey-jo. it could end up making a big difference in your life. it absolutely has for me.”

“thank you for making me feel SO SO SEEN. during a time when all we crave is connection, your empathy, awareness, and gentleness was something that helped me walk through a lot of anxiety and pain in a way that was refreshing (and dare I say perhaps even fun?). thank you thank you thank you for making me cry in a good way.”

“casey-jo’s radical openness, gentle accessibility, and deeply authentic connection to the subject matter make working with her an easy place to fall into and instantly feel at “home.” her presence is radiant and palpable. with wise discretion and flexibility, she crafts a customized experience that leaves you feeling engaged, connected, seen, and loved.”

“casey-jo has helped me many times over the years living in the shadow of depression and trauma with incredible honesty and through articulating emotions and thoughts that i surely thought i was alone in experiencing. her kindness, honesty, humour, and resilience is remarkable. i am sincerely thankful to have met her, as well as the other lovely people she brought together through a group coaching experience on mental health and wellness.”

“casey-jo sits with you and your emotions and your truth. she allows you to find comfort and trust in sessions with her, along with a pure acceptance that helps you navigate your life, your thought, and your way. i am looking forward to the hour of my sessions every week, because this is the only place i felt i can simply be, without any judgement. thank you for the unique experience of connection, engagement, and wisdom.”

“casey-jo is the most understanding soul and is so easy to talk to; she exceeded my expectations since day one. after our first session, i could feel and see a big difference and knew that i’d be booking more. she makes you feel safe, seen, and heard when you may need it the most. casey-jo is a bright shining light on a “normal” day and especially during the wildest, most uncertain times that we are currently trying to navigate. i highly recommend her to anyone who is searching for answers, searching to find themselves again, or simply needing someone to listen.”

“her ability to make you feel seen, not alone, and feel safe with is a gift.”

“casey-jo has an uncanny ability to truly see and understand my emotions and struggles. 2020 has brought such big feelings of loneliness, uncertainty, and worry, and throughout this she has been able to help me set goals, channel my energy into different and more productive ways, and help me take control back in my life. no matter what part of your life you want to improve, from work to relationships to your own self, casey-jo is the first person i’d recommend talking to!”

“a lighthouse for people of all walks of life, casey-jo is someone whose heart is open and always willing to be of service. she has devoted much of her life to being an advocate for those who suffer from mental illness and also for those who are often unheard and unseen. she has an innate depth of understanding of life that makes people drawn to her. she is someone who is always looking for the greater good and wants to be a part of making the world a better place.”

“i was in a peer support group that was put together by casey-jo and it was incredibly helpful. she went out of her way to prepare materials to guide the group, she fostered a safe and secure environment for people she barely knew, and made us feel comfortable enough to be vulnerable with one another. that’s a rare skill and a true testament to her leadership abilities. casey-jo is a person who, at a base level, is empathetic, selfless, and caring. on top of that, she is relentlessly hard working, humble, and absolutely brilliant. casey-jo is a bright light. we need more casey-jo’s.”

“casey-jo’s radiant spirit, compassion, and wisdom has been a blessing. to know there is someone who speaks her truth is not only refreshing it has been a true gift to me in my darkest times. she makes magic happen through her empathy. she is the perfect example of how great the world can be when there are authentic people with beautiful hearts and souls championing for humanity, inclusivity, understanding and love.”
