Kerry Hanna — Life Transitions Coach

I understand this season because I've lived it — and I've spent nearly 20 years helping women find their way back to themselves

Based in Vancouver, coaching women across North America by phone

When my own life stopped fitting

In 2004, my marriage ended. I had a young son, a life that looked fine from the outside, and an interior that felt like it was coming apart at the seams.

I kept going though — taking care of my son, showing up for work, doing all the right things. But somewhere in all of that, I’d lost myself. I didn’t really know who I was anymore.

It took time, and it took support. But I found my way back — slowly, without drama, by learning to trust what I already knew.

That experience is at the heart of everything I do now.

That shift wasn't dramatic. It was gradual.

Over time I learned how to:

That internal shift changed how I showed up in every area of my life. It also changed what I understood about this kind of work — and why I’ve never stopped doing it.

What nearly 20 years of this work has taught me

Capable women are often the last ones anyone worries about — including themselves.

They keep going, keep managing, keep showing up. And they get very good at overriding the quiet voice that’s trying to tell them something.

What I’ve learned is that the voice doesn’t go away. It just gets harder to hear.

My job is to help you slow down enough to hear it again — and to trust it when you do.

Not because I tell you what it’s saying, but because you already know. You just need space to let yourself know it.

My background as a women's life transitions coach

I trained as a coach at Rhodes Wellness College in Vancouver, BC and have been doing this work for nearly 20 years.

Over that time I’ve worked with women navigating divorce, career changes, empty nests, lost identities, and the quieter transitions that don’t have a name but feel just as significant. No two women arrive at the same crossroads — but the thread running through all of it is the same: helping her find her way back to herself.

My coaching is also informed by training in Myers-Briggs and Sacred Gifts — tools that have deepened my understanding of how women are wired and what gets in their way.

I’m based in Vancouver and work with women across North America by phone.

What working together feels like

We slow things down. Not because urgency is wrong — but because most women have been moving fast for a long time, and the things worth knowing tend to surface in the quiet.

I listen carefully — not to analyze you, but to help you notice what’s actually true for you. Together we separate pressure from what feels right, so your decisions come from a steadier place.

From there, we take small, doable steps that fit your real life.

Over time, you become more grounded and more certain in your decisions — not because you’ve changed who you are, but because you’ve come back to yourself and can trust what you know.

What women say about this work

I’ve Learned To Trust And Listen To My Own Instincts

“As a people pleaser I was in the habit of constantly giving priority to other people’s needs and had a tendency to dismiss what I was feeling. Kerry helped me learn to trust and listen to my own instincts. Our sessions felt very comfortable — like talking to an understanding friend, but one who was able to give unbiased advice and useful observations. She gave me the tools I needed to work through issues in my own way. She truly helped me untangle what felt like a tangled ball of yarn. I highly recommend Kerry’s compassionate and thoughtful coaching.”

If something here is resonating

I’d love to hear what’s going on.

Most women start with a simple conversation — just to talk through where they are and to see if coaching feels like the right fit.
