Life Coaching

Does This Sound Like You?

You’re feeling overworked and overwhelmed, and want to be living a life of freedom and peace instead.

You’re lacking confidence in who you are or what you do, and want to live toward your true potential with more energy and purpose.

You’re coping with your stress in unhealthy ways, and want to change but don’t know how or what you could do to make it stop.

You know something is “off” but can’t quite explain it, and want to feel “on” again.

You’re in physical or emotional pain, have ruled out any structural damage, and want to be pain-free.

What Does Life Coaching Even Mean?

Fantastic question! There are so many definitions of life coaching today. I’d be surprised if you weren’t confused. Most of the definitions out there focus on "helping" people get unstuck from something, or fix something that’s broken in their lives…anything from time management to their relationships.

Those definitions aren’t wrong, but I have a couple of problems with them. For one thing, they work on a part of your life, but what about the other parts? For example, you can get unstuck from a bad situation but still feel lost overall. And how do you keep from getting stuck in some other situation down the road? Most importantly, I don’t believe that people need to be fixed. That implies there is something wrong with them. Stress and overwhelm aren’t errors to be fixed. They’re diversions.

Discover, Or Rediscover, Your North Star

To me, life coaching means supporting you in living life according to your own North Star. Your North Star is deep and personal to you. And it’s always there. Sometimes, we can lose sight of it, if we’re experiencing a state of chronic stress that has us in constant survival mode or if we’re on “autopilot” making decisions based on an outdated value and/or belief system. And that can leave us feeling disconnected, off, or unfulfilled. Yes, life feels great when we live it according to your North Star. And on the flip side, life can feel stressful when we don’t.

Life Coaching With Me

As a life coach I partner with you in defining your North Star, co-creating a road map and action steps that you can take in alignment with that North Star.

While I’m a behavior change expert, I’m not here to tell you what to do.

I honor wherever you may be right now, and show up to support you in enjoying lasting lifestyle change, relieving your feelings of stress, reducing and/or preventing health issues, and optimizing your overall health and wellness. It’s about experimentation and self-discovery.

I Break My Life Coaching Into Three Milestones:

Foundations

In Foundations you’ll use my signature Wheel of Stress tool that contains the 10 evidence-based areas that can impact long-term stress as a way to highlight possible areas of focus, identify the ways in which you start relieving that chronic stress, create a personalized action plan, tweak anything that needs to be tweaked, and begin to experience your new life without the burden of that chronic stress.

Solidification

In Solidification you’ll get everything from Foundations, plus define your true North Star, create meaningful steps that will help you stay pointed at it, take inspired actions toward it, and start to see newly habituated behaviors.

Freedom

In Freedom you’ll get everything from Foundations and Solidification, plus the chance to firmly root your new behaviors in your life so they become unshakeable in tough times. You’ll own your confidence. Freedom is also an opportunity to uncover any new areas of exploration in connection with your North Star. Ultimately, you’ll walk away with the ability to be your own life coach.

This All Begins And Ends With Your Beautiful Brain

Yes, our brains may be the only conflicted organ in our bodies, but they also give us all the power in the world to create a life that is more aligned with our North Star. If you choose to work with me and commit to the work, you’ll walk away with a different “autopilot” version of you than the one you walked in with…an “autopilot” version of you that is more connected to your North Star.

Your brain gives you all the power you need to create a life aligned with your North Star. In your brain are the habits and beliefs that, today, point you away from your North Star. Habits and beliefs can be changed. The basis for it is called neuroplasticity. While they may not change overnight, if you choose to work with me and commit to the work, you can change them. When you’ve finished, your new autopilot version of yourself will feel more connected to your North Star.

I believe this is the long lasting answer to living a less stressed life, and ultimately, a healthier one.

How We Work

I work with clients in one-on-one weekly coaching sessions. Each milestone corresponds to a coaching package we offer. Foundations is a three month package, Solidification is a six month package, and Freedom is a twelve month package.

Which package should you choose? That is completely up to you. Some clients choose Freedom because they want the full experience in one coaching engagement. Others choose Foundations because that’s what fits their needs at that time. I support whatever you choose. All progress is good progress!

My packages are flexible. If you choose a package and want to change your mind, you can. If you make progress faster than the number of sessions in your package, we’ll end early. If you need more sessions, we’ll work it out.
