Ready to lead an inspired, fulfilling life that's uniquely yours?
I'm delighted! My coaching is custom designed for your needs. I don't do one size fits all coaching! My passionate commitment to you is to help you become the finest, most gloriously imperfect and wonderful you that you can be, not a second-hand version of someone else (no matter how wonderful that other person, or ideal, is!)
Is this you?
My clients are ready for a life that celebrates the best of who they are! They're ready to create a life that makes their heart sing and their soul jump for joy. They are curious, open to learning, and committed to moving forward in their lives. They know they need support and encouragement to let go of old limits, take risks, and breathe into their new lives.
What I can offer you as your personal life coach:
- loving and intelligent listening from 25 years experience as a professional therapist and coach
- warmth, support, and understanding for wherever you are in your journey
- thought-provoking questions that open you to new possibilities, perspectives, and choices
- pragmatic support to take effective focused action
- good doses of playfulness and humor
- a safe space for reflection and tapping into your own inner wisdom and guidance
- skilled, loving support for the deeper work that truly accelerates your progress and transformation
- psychological and spiritual insight of an experienced holistic therapist
HOW DO YOU WANT YOUR LIFE TO BE?
Coaching with me can help you:
- be free to be the person you've grown up to be!
- dream new dreams, or reclaim long-buried gifts and dreams
- break through damaging cultural myths about growing older that limit your aliveness, freedom, and unique genius
- discover how to make a meaningful difference in this time in your life
- open to experiencing deep authentic pleasure
- deepen your spirituality journey in a way that's authentic for this stage of your life
- creating a life that sings for you, drawn from the well of creativity and inspiration inside you
- mine your life story for wisdom and insight
- reclaim curiosity, gratitude, and wonder about your own journey
- identify and release patterns-emotional, cognitive, relational, and physical-that no longer support the best of who you are
- tap into and learn to live from your own inner wisdom and intuition
- "receive" a wonderful new life with ease instead of effort and struggle
My coaching style has been described as compassionate, thoughtful, empowering, deep and playful. Sessions may include dialogue, intriguing questions, body awareness, spiritual inquiry, strategic planning, or guided imagery.
What about results?
After coaching with me, women feel deeply alive emotionally, physically, and spiritually. They enjoy a heightened sense of purpose, and a new and wonderful clarity about who they are, what they want, and where they're going. They revel in the self-confidence to take on new invitations and challenges. They experience a revitalized connection with their own bodies and spirits, with others, and with their own spiritual Source. They fall asleep deeply grateful, and wake up inspired. They report living with more ease, grace, and trust. And fun!
Interested?
Coaching works best with a heart level connection between us. For that reason, I offer a complimentary half-hour session so you can get a feel for my approach, and we can see how we fit.
If you decide to work with me, we'll meet by phone or in person 2-4 times a month, for 30-45 minutes each time. In addition, I offer unlimited email access between sessions.
I am a graduate of Coach University, a member of the International Coaching Federation, and the Puget Sound Coaches Association.
If you're interested, please email or call-I'd love to talk with you about being your coach in this possibility-rich time of your life!
Blessings on your journey,
