What is 1:1 life coaching?

1:1 (one-on-one) life coaching is a confidential, supportive partnership between the two of us. We enter into a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires you to look within for inner wisdom, reflect, increase self-awareness and maximize your potential. You are in the driver’s seat. As your coach, I'm your collaborative co-pilot. I will use my training to:

Compassionately comfort you through discomfort, tears, and triggers...ALL of you is welcome.
Ask questions that to lead you to gain insight, uncover potential possibilities, view different perspectives and see unexplored options for transformation, expansion and growth.
Teach you supportive self-care and personal development techniques and tools that you can integrate into your daily life.
Provide encouragement.
Support you in amplifying your strengths.
Celebrate all your successes, no matter how small.

Creating an emotionally and physically safe space for you is my #1 first priority in our sessions because healing craves this safe environment in order for it to occur. Our sessions are a safe space to feel and express yourself freely without judgment in any way. There is no wrong or right or shame here. Unlike in the outside world where we often say we are “fine” when we are not truthfully well, this is a space where you are safe to speak your truth. ALL OF YOU is welcome here in our sessions, even the messy parts...especially the messy parts; this includes your past experiences and current situation. Relax knowing that you will be met with the utmost compassion. Breathe easy knowing that everything said in this space is held in complete confidence between us. Together we'll untangle your story, uncover your truth and explore what new ways of living feel uniquely right for you moving forward.

My answers to all your problems

A list of things you need to do

How I roll

My intention is to meet you exactly where you are. As your devoted co-pilot. I’m here to share this journey and the ride with you no matter how bumpy! It’s my intention to hear, hold and support you in whatever way you need by creating a sanctuary of solace. And I will do my best to meet your needs. I am here to help you explore what may get you the results you want and to teach you tools which can be supportive in navigating life's ups and downs.

What happens in sessions?

Each session is completely customized to your needs; no two are alike.

If you’re particularly activated and need time to simply be heard as you move through difficult emotions, it is always welcomed.

I invite you to get comfortable. Adjust however you need to feel at complete ease. This will allow us to eventually access, explore and tap into your body’s intuition whenever it’s ready to reveal itself. We will be here to listen and receive its wisdom.

If at any time you feel uncomfortable in any way and you want to stop or if you feel we’re moving too fast for any reason at all, I encourage you to let me know so that we can adjust in any way that feels better for you. You are in control of the pace; these sessions are all about you and what uniquely feels right for you. Your needs matter so much in life and we will make them paramount in our sessions. I fully honor your choices without judgment and I respect your voice to speak up with a “go slower”, “go faster”, a “yes I want to do that” or a “no, I’m not ready yet.”

What we know to be true is that everything on Earth, including humans, go through seasons that are cyclical. All seasons are equally important and dependent on the others; all are needed in order for growth to occur. We won’t be forcing any parts of yourself into changes (that never works for the long-term), instead we will allow all of your emotional wounds, your tender parts and feelings to be here and be heard. We will acknowledge them together and get lovingly curious about them. We will use the wisdom you discover from your pain, as I guide you, to bring about more of whatever you desire in your life.

We want this work to feel inspiring; caring for ourselves and our needs feels SO good! We don’t want to add more “have to” or “should do” things to your already busy life. That being said, throughout our sessions techniques or tools may come to my mind that may offer you supportive assistance because I’ve witnessed them getting positive results for myself and previous clients, maybe tools or methods you may want to consider using on your own at home. I will ask you how open you are to hearing those suggestions. If you do not want me to make offerings, that is perfectly okay too because as I mentioned we don’t want this to feel daunting like homework you “have to” do. We’ll lovingly call it “growth work!”
