What your Family Protection Broker actually does
Most families have some coverage. Most families also have gaps they don't know about.
Work benefits that disappear the day you change jobs. A mortgage policy through your bank that costs more and covers less than you think. No critical illness coverage for the thing most likely to keep you from working. A beneficiary that hasn't been updated since before the kids were born.
I'm an independent licensed life insurance broker working through Experior Financial Group, which means I have access to 30+ of Canada's top carriers, and I'm not tied to any one of them. I find what's actually right for your family's situation. Then I explain it clearly, without pressure, without jargon, without a pitch at the end.
Here's what I help families with.
Services I Help With
Life Insurance
If something happened to you tomorrow, your income, your mortgage, your family's day-to-day, would they be okay?
Life insurance isn't about death. It's about the people who keep living. It's the mortgage that keeps getting paid. The groceries that keep getting bought. The future your kids are counting on.
I help families find the right type of coverage, term or whole life, in the right amount, from the carrier that makes the most sense for their specific situation.
Mortgage Protection
Your mortgage is likely your largest financial commitment. The question most families don't think about until it's too late: what keeps you in your home if you can't work, or if something happens to you?
Bank-offered mortgage insurance is convenient, it's also usually the most expensive and least flexible option available. As an independent agent with access to multiple carriers, I can compare what's actually on the market and find protection that covers your mortgage on terms that make sense for your family, not just your bank.
Critical Illness Insurance
If you were diagnosed with cancer tomorrow, and you survived, could your family afford the months you couldn't work?
Most people think life insurance covers this. It doesn't. Life insurance pays when you die. Critical illness insurance pays you a lump sum when you're diagnosed with a covered condition, cancer, heart attack, stroke, so that you can focus on getting better instead of managing a financial crisis at the same time.
This coverage is one of the most commonly missing pieces I find in family protection reviews.
Disability & Income Protection
Your ability to earn income is your most valuable financial asset, and the one most families have the least protection around.
If illness or injury kept you from working for three months, six months, a year, what would your family do? Group disability coverage through work often covers a fraction of your income, and only for a limited time. Personal income protection covers the gap.
This is one of the conversations most families put off until it's too late. I'd rather have it with you now.
Long-Term Protection & Retirement Strategies
Protection doesn't stop at life insurance. As families grow and build equity, the conversation expands, RRSPs, tax-sheltered growth strategies, and long-term financial planning that works alongside your protection coverage.
Through Experior Financial Group and our network of trusted Canadian carriers, I can help connect you with the right resources for long-term financial planning as your needs evolve.
Children’s Coverage
Insuring a child is one of the most cost-effective things a parent can do, and one of the most misunderstood.
Children's coverage isn't about planning for the worst. It's about locking in their insurability while they're young and healthy, so that as adults, they have options regardless of any health changes that happen along the way.
It can also build cash value over time. It's a conversation worth having, especially if you're already reviewing your own coverage.
What Working Together Looks Like
Step 1 — A Real Conversation
We start by talking about your life, not by filling out a form. Your family situation, your current coverage, what keeps you up at night. No script. No agenda. Just Kayt.
Step 2 — An Honest Review
I look at what you have, what you're missing, and where the gaps are. I'll show you the real picture of where your family stands, even if parts of it are uncomfortable.
Step 3 — Recommendations That Fit
Every recommendation I make is based on your specific situation, your budget, and what actually makes sense for where you are in life right now. Not a product I'm pushing. Not what's easiest to sell. What fits you.
Step 4 — Ongoing Support
Life changes. A new baby, a new mortgage, a promotion, a loss. Your coverage should change with it. I'm here for the annual reviews, the updates, the questions that come up years down the road, not just the first sale.
Clients often tell me the approach feels different from what they expected.
Not pushy. Not overwhelming. Not a pitch they had to survive. That's intentional. I came from P&C insurance, home and auto. I know how to look at a family's full picture and find the gaps. I also know what it feels like to be a family under financial pressure, because I've been one. I'm not selling protection from a distance. I understand it from the inside. Independent access to 30+ Canadian carriers means I'm genuinely finding what's right for you,not what's easiest for me. All meetings are by phone or video, on your schedule. No offices to drive to. No pressure at the end of the call. Just honest information, clearly explained, and a next step that makes sense for your family.
