What is Lerae’s background?
I have achieved designation as a Master Certified Coach (MCC), a Coach U Certified Graduate (CUCG) and hold a BA degree in the School of Child and Youth Care. I have created two successful coaching companies; CoachSource International, providing professional coaching services for individuals, businesses and organizations worldwide and Soul Designs Coaching which has been designing and implementing revolutionary solutions for over a decade.

I am also a faculty member for CoachInc.com and a member of the International Coach Federation.
My next endeavour is to venture into the land of social medial and create another vehicle by which I will express my life purpose. The Being Well is a blog site that will provide a container for people to get in touch with what being well means to them in order to be well in their every day lives.
Working from home and having designed my practice to be phone based allows me the flexibility to choose where I live. My amazing husband, two beautiful children and I reside in a tiny area called Scotch Creek, British Columbia on the Shuswap Lake. We are surrounded by beauty, nature and live a lifestyle that suits our stage of life. My family is the love of my life and everything I do stems from there.

I believe that you can have it all!
My purpose is to lead people back to who they really are in life and business by supporting, inspiring, coaching and promoting their strengths, vision and desires.
Who is Lerae Gidyk?
“Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over; it became a butterfly.”

The journey of my life brought me to coaching at a time when I had come to the end of all I knew. Like the butterfly, I thought my ‘world was over’.
I had come to a dead end. Going back to complete my teaching degree or further my counselling career were not options because both felt harmful to my spirit. I was exhausted and felt trapped. Then, one day, one of life’s wonderful magical moments happened. As I was leaving a little Greek coffee shop on Commercial Drive in Vancouver, BC, a wise woman on the front of a green colored magazine beckoned me. I heeded the call. I picked up and opened the “Success” magazine. There it was...an article introducing me to this newly emerging profession called Coaching. Immediately, my path opened up. All of the pieces of my life came together and within two months I had moved cities, started my business, had my first coaching client and was in coach training with the leading coach training school in the world. That was my turning point. That was my moment. It was Spring 1999.
Discovering the profession of Coaching, was significant to me and incredibly validating. I had always been searching for a certain feeling. I knew intuitively that when I was on the right path, I would feel a certain way.Like something would ‘click’ or fall into place inside me. Coaching made my life, all of my past decisions and me, make sense. Through coaching I have been able to express all the different facets of my personality, fulfill my insatiable desire to learn, grow and design my life through conscious choice. I work from home. I set my own hours. I am present for my husband and two children. I complete a day of coaching more energized than I was at the beginning of the day. My email inbox is a vessel for gratitude that I marvel at and appreciate daily.
My life’s purpose is to raise my children to be happy secure beings in the world, love my husband with all that I have and lead as many people as possible back to living a life filled with joy, ease and fulfillment. I lead people back to who they truly are; and magic starts happening from there.
I believe that every person has a story or memory that is a direct link to their authentic self.
I believe that we are all born with a unique soul design that is ours to express in this lifetime.
I believe in generosity, love and the resiliency of the human spirit.
I believe that life is not meant to be a constant struggle.
Bliss is always an option.
