At its core, Life Coaching is cooperative problem solving. Coach and client develop a relationship of trust and openness where the client can fully express, explore, and expound upon both problem and solution; in a judgement free, confidential, and safe container that is the relationship itself.  

The client’s job is to be fully present and committed to the process.
The coach’s job is the same.

Coaching is different from therapy, mentorship, or consulting, in that a coach does not give advice or instruction. Coaches strive to ensure that the client is always free to make their own decisions, completely separate and apart from the coach’s ideas or opinions. The client can take or leave anything the coach offers. 

Coaches are extraordinary listeners – bearing witness, offering observations, reflections, curiosity, and accountability. Coaching’s main focus is moving forward – helping the client get to where they want to go, and into the life they want to create. 

Spiritual Coaching is much the same as Life Coaching, but offers an additional perspective – that of a Spiritual one. Bringing more awareness of the idea that we are spiritual beings having a human experience. 

Spiritual coaching offers additional techniques for moving through blocks, and asks different questions – taking into consideration your spiritual life. Investigating what might be going on ‘under the surface’ of situations and circumstances. Spiritual coaches bring another level of curiosity into what lessons or benefits our hopes, dreams, and challenges present to us. 

My story informs my coaching in a significant way. Many coaches struggle with the practice of not giving advice. I do not. I wholeheartedly believe that you don’t need my advice. You know what you need and what you want. Maybe you could use a sounding board, someone to hold you accountable, someone to bounce ideas off of – someone to partner with you as you forward your own life and soul. I have the temperament, experience, and the skill set to do just that. I can partner with you as you forward you. 

Tools I use:

• Coaching
• Spiritual Coaching
• The Emotion Code
• EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique)
• Essential Oils (DoTerra Wellness Advocate)
• Bach Flower Remedies

About Blocks – I believe what we call “blocks”, are the beliefs, ideas, understanding, conditioning, etc. that keep us stuck in places we no longer want to be in. We all have them, and as we heal they tend to surface. Often they’re protective – keeping us from risk, vulnerability, or loss. Sometimes they’re an outdated belief about ourselves, the world, God, or other people. They surface so they can be addressed. In coaching, there is no “failure”, there’s only more information. When a block makes itself known, we’ll address it address as quickly, and as gently as you need. This is where my tool box proves to be worth its weight in gold.
