our team / Jan Donald

Jan Donald (M.A.) has been providing individual and organizational wellness services for over 16 years. She is both a Chartered Psychologist in private practice (LifeQuest Counselling and Consulting), and an associate of Potentials Unlimited Inc. Her current focus is on supporting individuals, teams, and families in or at the edge of crisis.

Jan's background includes several years working in both small consulting organizations and large multinationals. She founded "Fit Options" in 1985, an entrepreneurial venture providing fitness, lifestyle, and nutritional consulting services to individuals and organizations. She witnessed the challenges her clients faced in making and sustaining changes, and began to appreciate the complexities involved in leading personal change. This led her back to further study and a Masters Degree with a focus on marriage and family therapy. Jan completed her clinical counselling and chartering work with Calgary Family Services before embarking in private practice.

Jan has worked as a team facilitator and coach on several large organizational change projects with Potentials Unlimited Inc. Her clients value her deep listening capability, her empathy, and the broad, challenging perspectives that she offers.

In recent times she can be found applying these capabilities at home (always the toughest spot) where she lives, loves and works with her husband Phil, along with their playful son Devin. She loves to spend her spare time in the mountains, in nature, reading and doing yoga.
