about

Welcome! I’m Jillian~ a coach, artist, and strategic designer.

My life has been more of a mosaic than a straight path. I’ve lived many lives: the eldest of four in a military family, a global traveler by 18, a theatremaker and actor, an academic, sex worker, co-founder of visionary artist collectives, and now I work as a coach and strategic designer devoted to transformation, creativity, and care.

I spent over a decade in the performing arts producing and playing in award-winning shows across the world, on stages and screens big and small. Behind the scenes, I worked as a stripper to support my artistic career. Both worlds taught me about risk, resilience, and relational wisdom.

I learned that what mattered most wasn’t earnings, applause or accolades, but how the work felt: Was there trust in the room? Were we well in body, mind, and spirit? Did the process honour joy, belonging, courage, and care?

These questions inspired a new direction. I trained as a trauma-informed facilitator, conflict mediator, yoga and meditation teacher. I explored sobriety and committed to spiritual fitness. 

I completed a Masters of Design in Strategic Foresight and Innovation which strengthened my systems and futures thinking practice, business design and strategy skills. I began working with teams navigating complex change, and have been adapting some of the tools and frameworks to individual change journeys, a practice called Personal Futures. This past spring I gave a TEDx Talk on how shame and stigma limit the embodied wisdom and transformative leadership cultivated in creative and care economies.

How we show up for ourselves in moments of change informs how we show up for what matters most to us - and I’ve been honoured to witness and support the process of many others. 

My own journey has been shaped by initiating and working with change, and with others

I’ve walked with the shadows, said no to the ‘you shoulds’, and followed intuitive calls that made no sense at the time but led to everything I cherish now.

Becoming Futures was born from the belief that change is opportunity, growth happens in relationship, and that we all have the inner wisdom and power to make our dreams come true, one step at a time.

This spiral model reflects the regenerative and non-linear process of change work and can serve as a helpful template for our journey together.

We make time to integrate new insights, habits, and identities, so the transformation becomes lived, not just imagined.

We honour diverse ways of being, dreaming, and experiencing the world. Our work makes room for intuitive, embodied ways of sensing change — moving from places beyond logic alone.

Creativity & Imagination

Change is always in motion. Curiosity and creativity helps us meet it. When it comes to moving through complexity, we believe in the power of the imagination, both on a personal and collective level, to illuminate just and inclusive futures.

Jill’s coaching has allowed me to tap into my curiosity about my creative process and map my patterns and needs for a new era of accountability.

Her capacity to see both the big picture and the detail of now has been a breath of fresh air, instead of forcing myself through the same burnout patterns.

I recently worked with Jillian to prepare for a networking event I was feeling unsure about. Through thoughtful questions and deep listening, she helped me clarify my intentions and identify the outcomes I truly wanted. By the end of our session, I felt grounded, focused, and confident in my approach.

Jillian has a remarkable ability to meet you where you are, offering both practical insights and genuine support. Her presence is warm, intuitive, and empowering. I left the session feeling not just prepared, but reconnected to my purpose—and I’m already looking forward to our next conversation.”
