We provide Divorce and Separation Coaching because we have been where you are and we know how to navigate this difficult time.
Divorce Coaching is a relatively new term but more and more lawyers are moving away from taking on high conflict family cases, and towards encouraging a more collaborative and level headed approach that includes professionals like ourselves.
We work with our clients to provide:
- The emotional support needed to navigate this part of their lives,
- The knowledge, information and guidance on how the process works, both legally and in the court room.
- Help with court forms, how to complete and file them and can even attend court as support where needed.
- The Support with setting boundaries and establishing healthy and productive communication.
- Whether we are working with the Family Law Act, the Divorce Act, Provincial or Supreme Court, or researching case law, there is really nothing we have not encountered.
- We also work with separating/divorcing couples to mediate agreements with the priority being to help all parties act reasonably, fairly and always in the best interests of the children when they are involved.
You do not have to spend thousands and thousands on lawyers, or years and years in the trenches against your former partner. In some cases however, there will be a former partner who can not see sense, or see beyond their hurt or pursuit of vengeance, and when that is the case, it is terrifying to face it alone. With a Divorce Coach, you don’t have to go it alone and you don’t have to feel consumed with fear and stress.
At Limitless Wellness we are seeing an ever increasing need for Divorce Coaching in our community and in British Columbia. In some cases we work along side lawyers but in most cases the ideal outcome is for neither party to engage in high conflict litigation. In Nanaimo specifically, it is nearly impossible to find a family lawyer, and this is a growing issue province wide.
Not all relationships can be healed and there is no shame in that. In fact, recognising when it is time to move on, can be an empowering time of growth in our lives and that is especially true when you feel supported, safe and informed. That is where we come in.
When a relationship ends, emotions are generally extremely high and many experience a sense of total panic and fear about what to do and how to move forward. Without support at this critical time, big mistakes can happen as people panic and head for the courts or family money to fund aggressive lawyers who are unfortunately often more interested in the pay cheque. Though BC has many websites and resources to help with the process of separating, dividing assets, etc. and where needed determining parenting time as well as child support, these guides are merely a band-aid on a much greater problem, that is an underfunded, and over burdened Family Law system in BC.
Though the courts are necessary in some cases and can play a vital rule, more often than not they are used as a weapon or means of control in situations that require compassion, calm and level heads. The court should be the last resort for dealing with family matters and in our experience they can be avoided for most. Not to speak ill of the people who work within the courts but the process itself is not one we would wish upon anyone for such emotional and sensitive issues as divorce or parenting matters. Sarah and Trish at Limitless Wellness, have gone through their own divorces and learned the hard way just how horrendous an experience it can be without knowledgeable support out of the gate.
Sarah and Trish have been where you are and come out the other side. In going through what we did we have gained invaluable knowledge that quite frankly took years to acquire. We asked ourselves what was that all for if we can not help others facing what we went through. This is why Divorce Coaching became a part of the services we offer in BC, in-person and online.
If you have found yourself in the throes of a separation or Divorce, we here at Limitless Wellness invite you to take pause, not panic and reach out to us for Divorce/Separation Coaching and counselling.
If you are already working with a lawyer, let us know and we will check if your lawyer is on our list of professionals that earn you a 15% discount on our regular rates. If you are working with us and it comes time to engage a lawyer for mediation, then we can also direct you to one of the lawyers we trust as qualified and empathetic mediators.
Divorce coaching can be done in individual and/or joint sessions, in-person or online and if necessary Sarah or Trish can be hired to attend court with you for support and advice (at a fraction of the cost of retaining counsel), in the event that court is unavoidable.
We are not lawyers and so we can not officially represent you in a courtroom, but we can be there every step of the way, by your side, providing the wealth of knowledge we earned along with the support and guidance you need to stand up strong.
Let’s move forward from a position of safety and empowerment.
Our Divorce Coaching rates are hourly and additional services are discussed on a case by case basis
