Patrice Lefebvre is the author of Saying Yes: An International Love Story, a memoir and Amazon bestseller and finalist in the Independent Author Network Book of the Year Awards. She lives in Ottawa, Ontario, with her husband Pierre — the love of her life, and the reason she immigrated from Seattle at fifty — along with their puggle Kimchi and a Norwegian forest cat named Teeka.
For the past decade, she has worked one-to-one as a life coach, supporting sensitive, self-aware people in finding their way back to themselves after years of taking care of everything and everyone else. Her coaching draws on a background that includes massage therapy, hospice work, rape crisis volunteering, and a degree in psychology. She has been walking with people through their hardest chapters since 1982.
