A Obey Indigenous Life Coach Practitioner

About My Approach

At Obey Coaching, healing is more than a goal—it’s a process rooted in culture, connection, and courage.

As Nehiyaw Iskwew (cree woman) who’s walked the path from aging out of foster care to Indigenous life coach, I bring lived experience, compassion, and strength to every session. My approach is relational, not clinical, and always centered on the young person’s voice, spirit, and story.

 

What Guides My Coaching:

Culturally Grounded: I weave Indigenous teachings, values, and identity into every step. Whether it’s using Medicine Wheel reflections, offering traditional stories, or holding space for cultural reconnection, my coaching honours where you come from.

Trauma-Informed & Youth-Specific:

I meet youth where they’re at—with zero judgment. My work is rooted in bringing awareness how trauma shows up in everyday life, and how safety, routine, and reflection can begin to break cycles. Drawing light to  co-dependency, creating healthy boundaries, and being a positive reinforcement in each life to build confidence and promote self-love.

Empowerment-Focused: I don’t “fix” anyone—I guide them to remember their power. Together, we build confidence, set boundaries, and shift self-talk through tools like affirmations, breath work, creative expression, and personal mantras. Real Talk, Real Tools!

I speak from experience and keep it real. Whether we’re talking about anxiety, foster care, body image, or goals, every session includes practical tools youth can actually use in their everyday lives.

 What Youth Can Expect:

  • Safe and confidential coaching space

  • Culturally respectful guidance

  • Tools to build emotional strength and decision-making

  • A chance to laugh, cry, heal, and grow—without shame

Your path. Your pace. Your power.

HOW IT WORKS

COACHING SUMMARY

DISCOVERY CALL/ INTAKE

We begin with a free 30 minute check-in to see if coaching is the right fit. We’ll talk about what’s going on, what you hope to get out of coaching, and how I can support you.

 

PERSONALIZED PLAN CREATION

In your first session, we explore what matters to you—whether that’s healing from past experiences, building confidence, learning boundaries, or setting future goals.

REGULAR SESSIONS

You’ll meet with me (Alana) one-on-one—online or in person. Most sessions are 60-90 minutes and include:

  • Coaching conversations

  • Cultural tools (affirmations, journaling, breathwork)

  • Emotional check-ins and self-care support

  • Worksheets or practices to try between sessions

PROGRESS TRACKING

We go at your pace. Each session helps you build more awareness, strength, and direction. You’ll leave feeling heard, supported, and more confident in yourself.

 

ACHIEVEMENT & CELEBRATION

Becoming deadly is a cause for celebration! 

By embracing the WINS and reflecting on the growth you’ve achieved throughout this incredible journey. It’s a moment to acknowledge the hurdles you’ve overcome and the transformation that’s brought you closer to your GOALS. By celebrating each milestone, we solidify the changes made and create a lasting sense of empowerment that will fuel your future journey.
