TAMMY TKACHUK is one conversation away from changing people’s lives.

For the past 15 years, Tkachuk has spearheaded Transition Life Wellness Inc., a counselling and life-coaching practice. It is a career, she says, that has helped her as much as her clients.

“I just love talking to people, and one conversation could be an absolutely game-changer for someone,” says Tkachuk.

“So much of what I do is talking things through with clients, making recommendations or offering a tweak in perspective. I enjoy going to my job every day. It motivates me to work hard knowing that I have a hand in changing people’s lives.”

Tkachuk’s dedication to her clients extends beyond her therapy practice; she believes in creating a safe space where people can explore their challenges and discover practical solutions to move forward.

Beyond her practice, Tkachuk has a second business in the wedding travel industry as well as assisting her husband with the behind-the-scenes bookkeeping for his plumbing and heating business. She has also inspired her ambitious son, who has already started his own small business crafting and selling handmade items.

“Tammy wears many hats in her life,” says nominator Julie Tkachuk.

“She does whatever she can to help all those around her. She is an advocate for the community, networking people together and reaching out on behalf of others when needed.”
