Meet Your Coach

Hi, I'm Trish Palmer.

Founder of Navigating Tides · Life Coach & Motivational Speaker

I've always believed life is a journey. I've also learned it rarely goes exactly as planned. Sometimes we just need to reset our compass.

Throughout my nursing career, I've had the privilege of walking alongside people during some of life's most challenging and vulnerable moments. Those experiences taught me that while we can't always control what happens, we can choose how we respond, what we carry forward, and the direction we take next.

I've also learned that caring for others and caring for ourselves are two very different things. It's easy to focus so much on responsibilities and expectations that we lose sight of our own dreams.

My role isn't to tell you which direction to take. It's to walk alongside you as you discover your own path.

“I don't believe anyone else should determine the direction of your life.”

Trish Palmer, RN

My Approach

Five principles to reset your compass.

Every transition is a chance to grow, rediscover yourself, and begin again. My coaching follows five guiding principles.

01

Acknowledge

where you are.

Real change starts with an honest look at today, without judgment. We name what's working, what isn't, and how you feel about it.

  1. 01

    Acknowledge

    where you are, honestly and without judgment.

  2. 02

    Release

    what is holding you back.

  3. 03

    Reflect

    on what truly matters.

  4. 04

    Realign

    your compass with your values, dreams, and aspirations.

  5. 05

    Navigate

    your next chapter with confidence and intention.

Kind Words

In their own words.

Working with Trish was such a positive experience. She made me feel comfortable from the very beginning and was incredibly easy to talk to. She listened without judgment, asked thoughtful questions, and always encouraged me to keep moving forward. I truly felt supported throughout the entire process.

Melissa G.

Working with Trish has been a truly transformative experience. The questions, reflections, and assignments challenged me to look inward, gain clarity, and most importantly to SLOW DOWN. Each session gave me something meaningful to reflect on and practical steps to apply in my everyday life!

Anikee C.

Trish is a great coach. Sessions never feel rushed or forced. She listens and asks honest, clarifying questions to assist in drawing out the answer and/or helping the person discover the answer for themselves.

Questions

Good to know before we talk.

Don't see your question? Email discover@navigatingtides.com.

What happens on a discovery call?

It's a relaxed conversation about where you are, what you'd like to change, and whether coaching with me feels like a good fit. There's no cost and no obligation.

Do I need to know exactly what I want before I reach out?

Not at all. Many people start with a feeling that something needs to change. Figuring out what that is happens together.

Is life coaching the same as therapy?

No. Life coaching focuses on your present and your future: clarity, goals, and next steps. It isn't a substitute for medical care, therapy, or other licensed mental health treatment. If you need that kind of support, I'll encourage you to seek it.

Do you speak to groups and organizations?

Yes. Email discover@navigatingtides.com with a few details about your event, team, or group.

How much does the discovery call cost?

Nothing. The discovery call is free.

The tides will change. The winds may shift. But you have the power to reset your compass and choose your direction.

Your life. Your journey. Your next chapter. Let's navigate it together.
