I’m Nadia, an Executive and Leadership Coach and Founder of Through the Forest.

With over a decade in leadership/talent development, I help leaders and teams navigate complexity, challenge outdated narratives, and create meaningful change. I have worked with leaders at all levels, from new managers to C-suite executives, across industries including gaming, government, non-profit, education, hospitality, real estate, and finance.

My coaching is reflective and results-driven, creating space for exploration and practical action.

With a balance of warmth and challenge, I support clients in shifting mindsets, strengthening leadership, and making a lasting impact.

  • Testimonials

    "In my coaching sessions with Nadia, she held the space, listened, and allowed me to explore. She provided resources at opportune times. It’s a testament to her skill as a coach that the next steps I decided on in our sessions felt doable – and I did them! At all times, I felt respected and encouraged. An important professional goal that I imagined to be complicated and difficult to enact has become more clear in my mind, and I am now taking simple steps toward it."

    - Chris, Community Living BC, Canada

  • Testimonial

    " I consider myself a highly rational person, and Nadia had the ability to create the safety for me to tap into my emotions in the very first session with her.  This may be normal for others, but it’s unusual for me, and I realized how skillfully Nadia quickly creates a safe space in a session, allowing me to quickly delve into root causes and parts of my life that affect my professional one. Nadia’s patience, quiet presence and gently probing questions help me explore deeper than I could by myself.  

    While focusing on me during a session, Nadia is also a human—and that warmth and relatability comes through in her expressions and presence, helping me to stop judging my own behaviours.  

    I’ve thoroughly enjoyed having Nadia as my coach, as it’s enabled me to push beyond my comfort zone and move forward through some tough challenges.”

    "Working with Nadia felt different from other coaching experiences because the insightful and powerful questions she asked helped me to get straight to the heart of my problem/situation. I was able to get closure on my issue by the end of each session with her, leaving with a clear plan of action and next steps, that I didn't feel the need to revisit that same topic in our next session. This is rare for me - I often leave coaching sessions with great ideas that fizzle out quickly.

    She really tuned into what I needed in the moment, leaving me feeling not only heard but also empowered to address the root cause of what I was working through. I had several a-ha moments in our time together that have stuck with me and continue to help me navigate my situations outside of the sessions. If you're considering coaching to support your professional or personal development, I can't recommend Nadia enough!”
