"I felt overwhelmed with the demands of family and running my own business. Working with Mason helped me clarify what was important and set a plan in place to help me grow my business and run my home-life. I've even made huge strides in putting myself first to be the woman i'm meant to be, for myself, and everyone around me."

“Mason was an integral part of helping my kids and I through very very difficult (and not very nice) adjustment period. Not only did he help me stay positive during all the negativity, but helped me focus on keeping my energy and spirit up so I could do what needed to be done to get through. I was able to be strong not only for my kids but also for myself when I didn’t even realize I possessed the strength! He checked in with me and my kids regularly and offered support, strength and a genuine caring that helped us all get through. We are now on the other side of all of it and all three of us are the adjusting very well! I can’t thank him enough!”

"Mason was great to work with. He is personable and professional. He helped me find better ways to communicate with my family, as well as learn more about myself. I highly recommend him for any of life’s challenges you need some assistance to improve."

"Mason Coates is a wonderful life coach who excelled at helping me improve morale, find positivity and improve my outlook on life. He offered me support in a range of meaningful ways and brought a refreshing perspective to issues in my life. Mason helped me greatly increase my self esteem and find new self worth. His daily journal was a wonderful tool which helped me increase my self reflection. My favourite time to complete the journal was before bed which helped me to get to sleep faster while also making my dreams much more vivid. Mason genuinely cared about me and his concern for my life made me feel loved. He offered wisdom far greater than I could have imagined and always knew exactly what to say. I would recommend Mason to anybody who can find an hour or two a week to quickly and effectively feel better physically and emotionally, while also increasing productivity and quality of sleep."

"We invited Mason to facilitate virtual life coaching sessions to our youth clients in May 2021, and the Niagara Folk Arts Multicultural Centre sincerely appreciated your grounded, strategic, approach as we watched our clients increased participation. By investing your energy and taking the time to understand the trauma(s), and the challenges they have had prior to their arrival; you skillfully displayed a breakdown of the barriers they would need to overcome to ensure their future success. It was refreshing to see the creation of a safe space, which in turn, allowed the youth clients to engage further. I am honoured to have been present as the participants developed a deeper understanding of their uniqueness, as well as the value of balancing their lives and embracing the goals they will be pursuing in their new lives. Thank you so much for offering such a wonderful service. You're a great life coach and we truly value the time you've invested in our clients, as well as the progress you've helped them make in their lives. We are hopeful you are willing to continue investing in their development by providing ongoing sessions. Based on the feedback our organization has received, it has been a great assistance to our youth as they continue navigating through life’s difficult situations."

"Mason Coates as my life coach has helped me in many ways. I was skeptical at first about even approaching the idea but I knew I needed help to get my life back in order or at least on a path that would make me happy again. When talking with Mason from my first facetime, we clicked right away. Mason never told me what to do but asked me what l wanted to improve and just encouraged and helped me understand why I felt so overwhelmed. He also helped me to realize that it was important to take care of myself first or l wasn't going to be of use to anyone else. Today l've booked an appointment for a facial. Small steps, but l do feel much better and calmer. Thanks Mason for making me laugh again."

"I’ve known Mason Coates for a few years now, and in that time, I’ve watched him not only excel in the world of life coaching but truly transform the lives of those he works with. His ability to see the potential in others—even when they can’t see it themselves—is nothing short of inspiring. Mason has a rare gift for empowering individuals to step into their strength, acknowledge their worth, and create real, lasting change. His success in this field is no surprise—he’s not just a coach, but a catalyst for growth and self-discovery. If you’re looking for someone to help you break through limitations and step into your full potential, Mason is the one to guide you there. First hand the best advice ever given was through him."

"My 10 yr old son has been meeting with Athletic Wellness Coach, Mason Coates, at Courage To Be You. My son plays competitive soccer and last season was extremely challenging mentally and physically. He struggled with anger and anxiety related to his performance on game days. The boy has a true talent that everyone sees but he doesn't see it in himself. I would find myself waiting by the car instead of the sidelines after a game so his team mates and other parents wouldn't see the emotional breakdown that was about to take place as soon as he saw me. After just a few sessions with Mason the change I saw in my son was outstanding. There have been no after game meltdowns, he looks confident on the field and his efforts are endless for the entire game. My son takes the challenges and advice Mason gives seriously and applies them willingly to the sport and everyday life. The transformation is so incredible that it's hard to believe he's the same kid enjoying the game again. If I had to rate how successful this journey has been so far, 5 stars are not enough. Thank you Mason for giving my son the courage to be his true self."

— Candace, Client Parent

"Mason was able to walk me through a very delicate situation with my job. I was experiencing burnout on a major scale and could not see the forest for the trees. With only a few sessions Mason had helped me find the fire within me and start chasing my dreams again. I can not thank you enough, Mason. I am forever grateful!"
