About Me

My name is Paula Lajoie I am from Buffalo, NY. I come from a wonderful family and I am the youngest of 7 children. I am a proud wife with 1 biological son and 2 step children. Apart from being a Life & Health Coach, I own a business that provides non-surgical hair replacement for thinning hair.

How did I get involved in life and health coaching?

For as long as I can remember I was this shy, nerdy, insecure little girl with bad teeth and crazy curly hair I couldn’t control. I was always being made fun of by my 6 older brothers and sisters. I always felt different and alone in the midst of my big huge family even though I had so much love from everyone and I was blessed to have a beautiful family. I always felt like the oddball out of my friends, if I had any. I felt like I never really fit in so I didn't really keep close friends. I had some, but they always came and went. Through all of this there was always this deeper thing inside me that I felt I needed to do, have, or search for. I wasn’t sure what it was but I knew I wanted “it.” So when I was about 16 years old, I started reading every self-development and self-help book out there. It became a passion to dig deep ask deep questions like: why am I here? What is my passion? What do I want? Who am I? why am I so sensitive and insecure? Why am I feeling this way?

Along my journey of self-discovery life happened. I lost my father at a very early age of 18. I also went through 2 divorces and have been through early menopause which sent me into a whirlwind. As I was experiencing menopause, I developed some anxiety and lightheadedness which persisted for several years. I didn't feel like myself anymore. During this time, I got married for the 3rd time; I had finally found the most amazing and perfect man for me! Even though I knew he was the right man for me, things were not so easy at first. He is very career oriented, which left me to struggle in my new role as a step-mother to his 2 children. Being a stepmom was one of the hardest things I’ve had to go through. All of these experiences sent me on many journeys to find my truth, love myself, and find peace in all of the internal and external chaos that surrounded me.

One night when I couldn’t sleep, I heard this inner voice that told me to look for life coaching near me. I found one and I made an appointment with her the next day! I took many private lessons and I took two of her courses. I loved every minute of it! By the end of it all, I felt changed, fulfilled and I had a whole new perspective on my life. It was truly an awakening experience! I felt transformed to my core! I realized I wanted to be a life coach and transform people's lives too.

I now have my certification in Health, Life, Transformational and Mastery coaching as of December 2018.

What I learned through all these years of struggle and through my coaching is that all the searching was my peace in my chaos. I listened to what my mind, body and heart needed. The love and peace I was seeking in countless ways has been inside me all along. I used to think there was something wrong with me. I had read so many books and searched for so much meaning, but I still struggled. There was nothing wrong with me! I just had to stop beating myself up with negative self talk and start listening to myself!! This is how I survived in the chaos. This journey is never ending and that’s OK! Yes there’s tears, yes there is hurting. We are human. But all these little stepping stones made me who I am today - a better version of myself!

I was able to find the tools I needed to help me find myself, and I'm here to share them with you so that you can find the peace in your chaos as well!
