Tools for rebuilding your life.
Starting Life Over
Create a new, stronger, happier, creative YOU.


Welcome!
You’ve landed here for a reason.

You can emerge, like I did, from the darkest period of your life much stronger, more creative and happier.

Hi, I’m Bev Howden.

In January 1993 I ‘crashed and burned’. I had no idea in the midst of that bleak experience, that dark night of the soul, that the old Bev was ‘dying’ to make way for a new Bev – more creative and freer – experiencing a closer, more profound connection to Spirit. Nor did I have any idea that I’d be receiving a very special gift.

If this resonates with you, then I invite you to read on...

Let me share with you empowering strategies for a vibrant, new life.

But before I do...

I want you to know that I desire ‘Starting Life Over’ to be within reach of all who need it. If you honestly find the full price out of reach, for whatever reason, you may invest in this program for an amount that is comfortable for you.

Here's what you can look forward to inside the Seven Week 'Starting Life Over'
Personal eCoaching Program:

During the seven weeks you'll move from the old 'endings' - and the grief and loss associated with them - to focusing on a 'cocoon' stage of inner growth.

During the middle stage of uncertainty that you find yourself in, the program will be providing multiple strategies for your metamorphosis. You'll find yourself emerging from this 'cocoon' stronger, discovering a new vibrant you!

Creating a new vision for your life completes the program, again providing many dynamic strategies and incredible resources that will last you for a lifetime!

Are you beginning to see how you can use these resources?

Those were very bleak days indeed for me in January 1993. Due to stress, I took a medical leave from my job. I was devastated! I knew I’d never let myself get that stressed out ever again. I also knew I’d never return to that field of work.

There was no going back.

I was in a daze and took it just one day at a time. I had no idea what the future would hold but slowly I began rebuilding my life.

From what I can only describe as Divine Intervention, I found information on a program described as intellectually vigorous, psychologically challenging, spiritually demanding and exhilarating. It required a commitment to be open and available to the deep inner self.

I felt compelled to be part of it!

It was a powerful re-awakening to Spirit. (And I received a very special gift completely unexpectedly. Check it out, if you wish, at the bottom of this page).

I was divorced and my children by this time were in their early 20's.

In truth, I was free!

I sold my city home and moved to a small town on Vancouver Island on Canada's west coast, arriving January 13, 1994.

On crutches with a broken leg.

Unemployed.

Middle of winter.

Alone.

And thrived!

Let my life experience and heart-felt knowledge help you.

‘Blood, sweat and tears', my professional training, and many hours of writing, research and preparation have gone into ‘Starting Life Over’. Professional qualifications.

I'm an enthusiastic life-long Learner! As well as a Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology, I've taken numerous workshops and courses over the years ranging from A to Z. Well, from A to W: from Art Therapy to Wilderness Survival.

Do you feel like you need a survival course? This is it!

Listen to what others are saying:

Kevin Yurkowski, a Delivery Truck Driver in Campbell River, B.C.:
"Before I took this program, I felt overwhelmed and didn't know where to begin. With my upbringing, you were supposed to handle it all by yourself."
"'Starting Life Over' was like opening a new door. It helped me see inside me - it took down emotional roadblocks that previously held me back. I now find myself willing to ask questions of myself that previously I was not willing to face. Or even thought of facing! I feel more confident and more curious - the two go hand in hand."
"My level of stress is definitely lower. I feel more at ease. More able to go and do it. Tackle it. I got rid of a lot of clutter in my physical environment. I loved "getting rid of tolerations"!"
"The 'Starting Life Over' Program included a lot more than I expected. The many resources are so useful! They point in the right direction. This program provided access to places I would never have thought of looking. I spent a lot of years 'stagnant'. Now I want to dig deeper into these resources.
Thanks, Bev, for a new lease on life!"
 
Gail Lewis, a Business Owner in Courtenay, B.C.:
"I was attracted to the Starting Life Over program at a time when I was experiencing a severe crisis of confidence. My career was not going well. I felt helpless, desperate and out of options."
Thanks to 'Starting Life Over', I am now back on track, making progress and looking forward to the new adventure ahead of me as I re-invent myself."

(Note: Gail is now living a dream come true for her! In downtown Courtenay, she owns "SnazziPlus", a thriving consignment store for ladies clothing, sizes 14+.)

 
Debra Onjukka, a Bank Employee in Courtice, Ontario:
"From personal experience, I can highly recommend Bev Howden's 'Starting Life Over' program. Bev offers a variety of excellent resources that helped me better understand the events which were transpiring in my life and allowed me to come to terms with the changes that were happening.
"In particular, the practice of asking empowering questions totally transformed my perspective of the challenges I was facing. They became the catalyst I'd been seeking. I found a whole range of answers and solutions that I never knew existed! "
"Thanks, Bev!"
 
Katannya Van Tyler, a Career Counselor in Courtenay, B.C.:
"I like the way the program is set up; it allowed me to be totally honest with myself. There was nobody to please.
"Now, after having completed the program, I know what I don't want; I know what I was tolerating in my life; I know what I really want: I know that I have the ability and responsibility to create what I want!
In addition, I now have a support system and a long list of resources that I can continue to access.
Thank you, Bev, and may you be blessed in all areas of your life."
 
Gina Forsyth-Dodd, a Writer/Researcher living in Campbell River, BC:
"'Starting Life Over' sure came at the right time for me! It provided an outlet for my desire to examine issues in my life. I wanted to learn what I could do to work through them and also learn more about myself."
"I gained insight into specific areas where I have resistance, leading to the realization that healing needs to occur in some areas of my life.
"Some of the course material reinforced knowledge I already had. This was useful because it showed me how far I have come in dealing with chronic issues up to this point in my life. I gained new understanding of ways to move forward and let go of past wounds.
"Thanks so much, Bev!"
 
Anne Lawrence, a Homeschooler and Newcomer to Courtenay, BC:
"The most significant change in my life has really been a 'return to my life'. Having been very busy and neglectful of my person, it has taken a toll on me and how I lived daily.
This program has helped me to more consistently take time to breathe, live and think beyond the pressing details that I was living in. It gave me back the focus that I needed, to get back to enjoying each day instead of catching up each day on what I missed doing the day or days before!"
 
Sharon Young, Retired Career Woman, Surrey, BC:
"I never got over losing my only son in a car accident 15 years ago. More recently my marriage of 35 years ended. I was a 'basket case' who found Bev incredibly supportive both in person and through the 'Starting Life Over' course."
"'Starting Life Over' is like a set of building blocks. The content kept me focused each step of the way in the process of rebuilding my life."
 
Angel McKay, living in Union Bay, BC, had recently been fired from her job and has serious health challenges:
"I feel like jumping up and down and shouting from the roof top. For anybody who is the least bit stuck, you have to take this program! It has changed my thinking and the way I feel, sometimes beyond words. I feel brand new."
 
Susan B., leaving behind a 30-year career and wanting to find a new direction, resides in Courtenay, BC:
"Taking the 'Starting Life Over' Program was well worth my time and energy. I now feel more in tune with my spirit and approach life's situations more calmly. The weekly guidance and information sessions provided great resources and progressive structure. I recommend the course to anyone who feels that they're at a crossroad in their life."

Want even greater support?

I provide personal coaching by telephone and e-mail. With the first installment of the program, you receive information about telephone and email coaching.

"When I contacted Bev about coaching, I was feeling very stuck.

"By listening, Bev allowed me to reflect more on what I was dealing with and it helped to bounce ideas off her. She supported me in coming to and keeping to a firm decision regarding my need to reduce the amount of stress and overwhelm I was having and no longer wished to experience in my work. Her coaching also helped me to resist being seduced by the salary and benefits attached to my job.

"Bev helped me create clarity and focus. I liked the way things were set up ahead of time and the preplanning meant added benefit from coaching sessions. At the same time, Bev provided flexibility as needed.

"The resources Bev provided were really valuable - tailored to what I needed. That meant there was a lot of research and sorting I was spared from doing myself.

"I really took in and appreciated the positive reflections and praise she gave me. I realized how little of that there was in my life and especially in my workplace at that time.

"Bev has a way of being with you that is very supportive and encouraging. I felt her as totally present with me - in an unbiased 'witness role'. A very freeing thing!

"Bev's support was invaluable through the transition to deciding to leave my government job and setting up my own private practice in an efficient, supportive and positive workplace with a group of other counsellors.

"Bev, I especially appreciate the rich variety of appropriate-to-me resource materials you shared with me. They have already proven to be extremely helpful to my new clients; I will undoubtedly continue to use and share them. Thank you so much."

Patricia Henderson, BA, CC, MSW, RSW
Strathcona Counselling, Courtenay, B.C. Canada

"When I started working with Bev I was in full time employment and wanting to make the transition to freelance work as a Coach and Trainer. I've been coaching 2 paying clients during my time with Bev and looking at ways I could reach my goal.

"Bev provided me with lots of resources and ways of creating supportive environments. She really made me look at what I was procrastinating about and encouraged me to look at how I could combine and use my many strengths. She encouraged and championed my weekly accomplishments.

"Because of Bev's coaching I am now focused on what I am able to achieve and feel positive about my future as a full time coach. Bev's warm and caring approach has enabled me to make some very welcome shifts. Thank you, Bev!"
Rosie Kearton, Leeds, England

 
"I started working with Bev because, as a Service Provider myself, I wanted to experience what it feels like as a Client in the Coaching relationship. Not surprisingly, I immediately realized there were areas in my life that Bev could help me clarify.

"With Bev's guidance, I identified what was important to me and how to continue to move towards it. The books she recommended are exactly what I needed and are wonderful!

"As a result of working with Bev, I'm clearer in my wants and finding it easier to set and reach realistic goals. My experience with Bev once again confirms the effectiveness of Coaching in helping people attain more fulfillment in their lives."
Lori Walton, Health Coach/Trainer, Campbell River, B.C. Canada

 
"When I started my telephone coaching sessions with Bev Howden, the key issue I wanted to address was the worrying I was doing about the possibility of not having enough work and money coming in.

"The need for more upgrading and maintenance work on my house was not meshing well with the unpredictability of life as a freelancer, and I was experiencing more anxiety than I had in a while.

"As result of Bev's coaching, I was able to identify where my fears were groundless and where they reflected a reality that I needed to address in some way. In the latter category was a growing recognition that my work was no longer as satisfying to me as it had been, plus I was earning too little for all the hours I spent working. Bev helped me to identify some ways in which my current work was not serving me and to acknowledge my desire for more lucrative and meaningful employment.

"Working with Bev in exploring these issues, in bite-sized chunks that suited my rather methodical and detailed approach to life, was a blessing. I found Bev to be extremely respectful in following along with the pace that I set and in making the experience of change more comfortable for me.

"Thanks, Bev, for being such a great support as I worked my way through my fears and anxieties and identified what steps I needed to take to create a more balanced, nourishing and harmonious life."
Sue McManus, Freelance Editor, Gabriola Island BC
