“The words that I would use to describe Jill Korstrom as a coach are the words she uses to describe herself: Truth Teller, Provocateur, Passionado, Agitator, Joyologist and Ignitor. But that’s not all! Jill is also compassionate, funny, generous, intuitive, and incisive. When I started working with her I thought I knew quite a lot about myself but we worked together to discover all kinds of strengths that I wasn’t even aware that I had. By helping me carefully define my values and discover how I can sometimes sabotage myself (oh, those crazy gremlins!) I was able to learn to live my life in a much more authentic and empowering way. For me, moving forward in life was all about moving out of my comfort zone and Jill walked with me, encouraging me every step of the way. I can’t recommend her enough! ”

“Jill is a force of nature. She is a wise and hugely generous coach, who is both supportive and challenging in just the right moments and in the right balance. She has guided me through a process that has inspired me and will stay with me, and guide me to focus on what really matters now, and in terms of my legacy ”

“Jill Korstrom was recommended to me by a colleague in whom I had noticed an increase in confidence and clarity, which she attributed to her work with Jill. I worked with Jill over 15 months specifically to re-discover the things that drive me, inspire me and matter to me after a period of significant change in my life. Through our trusted partnership, I’ve been able to challenge my limiting beliefs, deeply inquire into difficult questions, and unearth a more mature and authentic me. I benefitted from Jill’s caring, no-nonsense approach and particularly from her ability to keep track of threads of conversation over many months. Jill is excellent at coming back to comments to examine beliefs and assumptions; she challenges me to be clear and articulate what I mean and what I think. We have laughed together and had many aha! moments and moments of deep emotion, all of which Jill held space for. My life and relationships are, and will continue to be, richer, deeper and more intentional due to the work we’ve done.”

“I have been a client of Jill Korstrom’s for the past year and have found her coaching to be extremely helpful in navigating the challenging transition of midlife retirement. Jill’s techniques of identifying core values and a life mission statement was incredibly helpful in my journey to find a life purpose. Having participated in extensive personal growth experiences in my past, I found this life coaching experience to be unique. The process provided a structure to work through my current life issues in a systematic manner allowing me to prioritize and recognize areas that needed attention in order for me to feel fulfilled. The process was extremely helpful and has given me the tools to be aware of areas that need focus in order for me to fully live a life of intention. I am thankful to Jill for her altruistic intentions in her practice and grateful for what I have learned through working with her. I would highly recommend her to anyone wishing to expand their consciousness for a fully intentioned and fulfilling life.”

“I have been involved in Life Coaching with Jill Korstrom for over a year now and the experience has been amazing for me. The coaching has made me ask questions of myself that I would never have asked before which has led me to dig deep and allow my true self to emerge. Also, providing me with the landscape to develop a wide view of life and consider the incredible possibilities my life holds. Through guidance, I have become clear about how honoring my highest life values enable me to create the life I want to live with peace and harmony for myself and those around me. Jill has a very eloquent way of communicating when coaching and reveals tremendous life insights. Jill also shares her sharp sense of humour making the whole process fun and engaging.”
S.W. (Age 51)   Courtenay BC Canada

“Jill Korstrom has been my life coach for the past 18 months. I felt like I wanted a life coach without really knowing for sure what a life coach was! So I really appreciated Jill taking the time to have a long conversation with me, not only educating me on what I could expect from her as a life coach but also making sure that we were a good “fit”. I love that Jill challenges me, nudges me out of my comfort zone and calls me out when I’m rambling or feeling negative. Jill is a forthright, clear communicator, which I really appreciate, and if she has a tough message to deliver she wraps it in genuine care for me as a person. She is also an insightful listener able to pick up on the smallest cues and cut to the core of the matter. Jill has helped me to define my core values and encourages me to “check in” regularly to see how I well I am actively living those values. She has also helped me to identify my gremlins and self-limiting beliefs and given me really good tools to overcome these negative influences in my life. I highly recommend Jill as a life coach, she exudes positive energy, she’s fun and she truly does care about her clients. I value our relationship and our calls are the highlight of my month.”
S.S. (Age 50)   Victoria BC Canada

“Jill Korstrom has been my life coach since November 2012. This relationship has continued since then with our monthly sessions. I was stuck in a rut despite being successful in many ways. As usual ‘the Universe’ provides and opens doors, following an earnest request for help. While surfing the net I was struck by a quote that linked me to Jill’s website. In the ensuing months I realized how out of touch I was with Life and how much I lived my life through the lens of conditioned beliefs and assumptions. With Jill’s insightful guidance, I am more free today. Living one’s life through the filter of thoughts/ within thoughts versus living life in the moment/ mindfully. You would think that this was an easy choice to make but what was needed was an inner shift that Jill facilitated. Jill’s gift is being able to work with her clients from where they are and to intuit what each client needs at that time. It is a process that has taken trust and surrender. I am the better for it. Out of 10, would I recommend her to other? Yes, 10/10. Thank you Jill.”

“Connecting the dots, sounds simple in theory, but I feel like I have been on a journey for as long as I can remember. Having never tried life coaching I wasn’t really sure what it was or what to expect exactly, or how it would differ from other learning tools or methods that I’ve experienced and used over the years. Jill Korstrom is like a breath of fresh air with her no nonsense attitude, her expertise of guiding you through the process of getting a better picture of one’s true self. It makes great sense to me now to have a coach that will push you into uncomfortable territory, as you start to see more clearly the path that you want to take and follow and how to navigate the obstacles along the way. Jill’s job isn’t to hold your hand or give the answers, because as you will discover that they all lie within. To encourage you while striving for your own personal goals, and you will see that they start to happen in leaps and bounds. I cannot recommend Jill Korstrom highly enough, as I have literally experienced life changing moments as a result of our coaching time together.”
E.L. (Age 48)   Squamish BC Canada

“After seeing life coaches for 8 years on and off, I can say with utmost confidence that Jill Korstrom is the best coach I have ever worked with, and is extremely competent at what she does. Jill is clear, matter-of-fact, and no-nonsense from start to finish – GREAT traits to have in what can be a “wishy-washy” industry. She keeps you on track. Jill’s clarity around her intentions have taught me how to be clear around my own intentions – both on our calls and in life. Her consistency and prowess as a coach, however, pales in comparison to her integrity as a person: she makes me feel special, important, and successful, all the while urging me to go deeper into the real blocks that are holding me back. I’ve had some pretty phenomenal breakthroughs in our time together and here’s to many, many more. If you sign up with Jill, be ready to go deep and excel, because she’s the perfect guide to create forward motion in our own lives.”
M.P. (Age 29)   Vancouver BC Canada

“Jill Korstrom was an inspiration and a joy to work with. I am very grateful for the coaching relationship that we shared.
Jill gave me fresh insights into my being and helped me to visualize myself in ways I had never imagined. I felt safe and loved. Coaching was beneficial to me to help me understand my values on a deeper level so that I can honour them in all aspects of my life in order to feel happy and fulfilled. I was surprised to meet my future self!”
N.H. (Age 52)    Squamish BC Canada

“I have worked with Jill Korstrom for the past three years as my life coach. Jill is instrumental in having me pause in my life and reflect on who I am. With her guidance I uncovered and articulated what values are important to me. Through our weekly calls Jill helps me design my life and challenges me to live my values and dream larger.”
M.M. (Age 32)   Vancouver BC Canada

“Typically I view life issues with a black vs. white, or yes vs. no viewpoint. Jill Korstrom pushed me out of my comfort zone where we spent a great deal of time in the grey areas. This forced me to slow down and review life priorities from a different perspective. In doing so, I was able to have a clearer vision of what is really important to me versus what I perceived was important to me.”
G.B. (Age 44)   North Vancouver BC Canada

“Life coaching was not something I intentionally set out to participate in but nevertheless came into my life at a time when I was feeling lost and frustrated with the direction my life was taking. I was compelled to take this journey with Jill Korstrom as I felt inexplicable pull to find out if this would help me get my life on the right track. Life coaching provided me with the tools to control my own destiny and to face my fears and celebrate successes. Most importantly life now has purpose and I feel more fulfilled, self-aware and confident. Jill’s life coaching has supported me in examining the challenging areas of my life. I now have the courage to stand up to my “gremlins”, honour my deepest values and to use different perspectives when faced with difficult situations. I can now truly visualize who I want to be in the future! Jill doesn’t provide the answers but she is gifted in her ability to help you find the answers yourself. Thank you Jill for motivating me to recapture the exuberance for life I was missing for so long.”
L.D. (Age 43)   West Vancouver BC Canada

“It’s been more than a few months since my last life coaching session with Jill Korstrom. Our sessions were always deeply provocative and each time I came away with one more probing question. As a result of our intense and lively conversational dance, I now have a compass and a strong foundation upon which to build my life.”
K.G. (Age 55)   West Vancouver BC Canada

“I would highly recommend working with Jill Korstrom of West Vancouver as a Life Coach. When I first started working with her I felt stuck in my life. I knew I needed a change but was having trouble seeing the way forward. Working with Jill I was able not only to find my way out of my rut into a new life, but I also was able to change my perspective about life in general. Jill made me aware of my strengths and successes as well as the times when I was letting myself off the hook too easily and could be doing better. This honesty, presented in a caring way, helped enable me to actively create the life I want. Working with Jill was a wonderful, empowering experience.”

“I have just completed an amazing journey with Life Coach Jill Korstrom who guided and coached me through my questioning times. Jill is a natural communicator and an even better listener, she is able to pick up on the nuances of conversation and guide to areas where breakthroughs can be acknowledged and celebrated.

“I would recommend life coaching with Jill Korstrom – our relationship helped me focus and find clarity – stopped me from going around and around. It helped me identify more of what I wanted and who was the genuine me. As it says in the information to honour yourself….this is THE MOST IMPORTANT thing and it takes time, I am grateful to Jill for helping me along my path.”
B.H. (Age 60)   North Vancouver BC Canada

“I would like to thank Jill Korstrom for helping me realize the power that I truly have over my own life. She worked with my exceptionally hectic schedule, a healthy dose of skepticism, and many years of engrained scientific training. Her ability to explain concepts in a way that made sense to me, her sense of humor, and her structures and exercises made me a true believer in life coaching. I look forward to my chats with Jill and to the challenges she presents me with each week. Due to my work with Jill, I have finally been able to understand why aspects of my life were so unsatisfying and develop strategies to increase my enjoyment of life both in my personal time and at work.”
D.M. (Age 41)   Vancouver BC Canada

“When I first started working with Jill Korstrom, I was in a difficult transition period in my life.  With humor, love, and support she helped me discover how I had been preventing myself from stretching my comfort zone, discovering new adventures, and trusting that I could achieve all that I desired.  Jill helped me to shed a dry, rigid, protective skin and emerge as vibrant, refreshed, and joyful.”
K.M. (Age 29)   Newport Oregon USA

“Jill Korstrom helped me to get focused and clear about what I really wanted in life. Jill has a real capacity to see the real issue behind all the excuses, fears and age old habits. Jill offered insights and support to help me draw out the inner self which was hidden behind the “shoulds” and “don’ts” of compliance. I have discovered myself and can now look forward to getting to know me having waved good-bye to my gremlins.”
R.M. (Age 58)   West Vancouver BC Canada

“Good answers can only come from good questions. Jill Korstrom asks the good and the tough questions that produce productive answers. ‘Where am I?’, ‘Where am I going?’, and ‘What’s holding the process back?’ Jill helped me identify some of the gremlins –those pesky and chronic creatures that cloud the vision, motivation, and a sense of deserving. I would highly recommend the journey of life coaching!”

She encouraged me to dig deep inside myself to find the answers to my problems. At times, it was difficult, but she helped me find the courage inside me that I needed to face my obstacles. I am glad that I had the opportunity to work with Jill and I would have no hesitation in recommending her as a life coach.”
