I believe the human side of work deserves more attention.

My work began in psychology, mental health, and community wellness, and those roots continue to shape everything I do today. With a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Saskatchewan, I spent more than a decade working in community-based mental health, supporting individuals, families, and underserved communities. That experience gave me a deep understanding of the many factors that shape our wellbeing, from our relationships and life circumstances to the systems and environments around us. It also taught me the importance of listening without judgment, looking beyond behavior to understand what may be underneath it, and creating spaces where people feel safe enough to be honest.

Over the years, my work expanded into post-secondary education, healthcare, organizational development, leadership, coaching, and facilitation. I had the opportunity to establish the first wellness office in Saskatchewan for postgraduate medical education, creating a dedicated space to support the wellbeing of medical learners within a demanding professional environment. My work has since grown to include leading one-to-one coaching programs for managers and emerging leaders within healthcare, facilitating leadership and professional development, and supporting organizations through change, challenging conversations, and the human side of work.

I also work as a contracted facilitator with national and international Employee Assistance Program providers, delivering mental health, wellness, and workplace learning experiences to organizations across Canada. Through Lindsay Katz Coaching & Consulting, I bring all of these experiences together through wellness coaching, workshops, and facilitation.

My perspective comes from working across both sides of the equation: the person and the system. I've spent years working directly with people navigating mental health, life transitions, and personal challenges, while also working within complex organizations where culture, leadership, relationships, change, and performance intersect. This combination allows me to see both the individual experience and the environment around it. I understand that wellbeing isn't simply about how well someone copes with their circumstances; it's also influenced by the relationships, expectations, systems, and environments in which we live and work.

My approach is calm, welcoming, practical, and deeply human. I create spaces where people can explore difficult issues without judgment, ask honest questions, connect ideas to real situations, and turn insight into meaningful action. Whether I'm coaching an individual, facilitating a workshop, or working with an organization, I want people to leave with greater awareness, a clearer understanding of what matters to them, and practical ways to move forward.

At the heart of my work is a simple belief: people shouldn't have to sacrifice their wellbeing in order to do meaningful work. I want to help create a different experience—one where people can grow, contribute, lead, and do work that matters while still taking care of the human being doing it.
