About
About Agathon
Agathon exists to guide individuals who feel alone, stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain – physically, emotionally, or directionally – towards greater clarity, confidence, and growth with forward momentum for lasting change.
Through Certified Life & Wellness and Grief Coaching, we support the whole person – body, mind and spirit.
The Mission
Rooted in empathy, integrity, and professionalism, our mission is to provide thoughtful, judgment-free support that empowers you to make meaningful decisions aligned with your values, tailored to your situation and life.
Coaching creates space for reflection and personal growth at your pace and on your terms – always in service of your goals, and never driven by opinion, judgment or advice – you receive personalized support for your life.
We co-create meaningful connections that are centered on the “who”, the you in the story or situation, to empower and support you to discover and step into living more fully as you truly desire.
The Name
The name, Agathon, is a philosophical term that embodies the idea of what is truly good or desirable. It’s often associated with the “good life” or “eudaimonia,” which is a state of flourishing and happiness. It’s not just about fleeting feelings of pleasure, but rather a deep sense of fulfillment that comes from living a life aligned with one’s values and potential.
Agathon Founder
Mindy Demers
As founder of Agathon Solutions, Mindy’s focus is providing the safe, non-judgmental space for clients to explore their inner thoughts, feelings, beliefs and barriers; partnering to help them move forward toward their goals. She facilitates this through unconditional positive regard while co-creating trust and listening deeply, remaining focused on the “who” of the client.
As a Certified Life & Wellness and Grief Coach, Mindy provides the scope of service that bridges the gap of support missing from medical care and community, to benefit the lives of others.

Mindy’s Approach
The core of her work is simple; Mindy believes that when people understand themselves and are courageous in their lives – free from the “shoulds” – they make better decisions, build more confidence, and move forward with purpose.
Mindy believes everyone has the right to be treated with dignity and respect, to be valued for who they are as a person, and not to be defined by the circumstances beyond their control.
She strives to meet everyone where they are at, to listen carefully and with compassionate witnessing, so they can show up as their full, authentic selves.

Ontario, Canada
Mindy is amazing! From our first conversation through all of our sessions, I felt comfortable, safe, and acknowledged for the work I was doing.
Mindy is professional, always on time, prepared and welcoming into a session. An intentional listener who created the space needed for me to think, contemplate and arrive at my own answers. She is excellent at mirroring back words and statements that sometimes I didn’t even realize I had said out loud. Her acknowledgement of my feelings, recognition of my body language, as well as the work I was doing made our sessions more successful than I ever thought possible!
Mindy is a gifted coach. I am so grateful to have partnered with her to work through a challenging period of being “stuck.” She allowed me time to process, reflect, set my own goals and determine my pathway forward to the resolutions that worked best for me.
My trust in Mindy is absolute, and I definitely recommend Agathon Solutions Coaching.

In my coaching session with Mindy, I came in feeling stuck about a personal decision I was facing. Mindy helped me explore the situation more deeply by asking thoughtful questions that shifted my perspective and uncovered assumptions I hadn’t realized I was making. Through our conversation, I gained clarity and identified areas I wanted to explore further. Mindy’s calm and attentive presence gave me the space I needed to fully explore my thoughts and ideas. I highly recommend her coaching to anyone seeking deeper self-awareness and meaningful perspective shifts.
