What is a life coach?

I am here to hold  space for you...to ask powerful, direct questions to help you uncover and dissolve your limiting beliefs...to help you move through any fear or worry that is keeping you from your best life.  

I'm not here to give you advice or to fix anything for you.  Using a variety of tools and techniques, I'll help you reconnect with your inner wisdom so you can guide yourself to your right life.

Once connected to your own guidance system, I'll walk alongside you, as you dream and scheme about a life that will bring you more joy.  

And from there, we'll work together to create "turtle steps" to bring your dreams into reality.  

Making your dreams come true is possible.  Finding more peace is possible.  I know because I did it!  

Do you know what you are?
You are a manuscript oƒ a divine letter.
You are a mirror reflecting a noble face.
This universe is not outside of you.
Look inside yourself;
everything that you want,
you are already that.
— Rumi

WHY WORK WITH ME

I have experienced deep loss, doubt, and fear...as a mom, a wife, a daughter, a business owner, and a human being. I've been to "hell and back," as Martha Beck likes to say, in more than one area of my life. I promise to hold you and your story with love, compassion, and understanding, and I will help you question and dissolve the painful thoughts in your story so you can find peace.

If I can't help you, I will happily refer you to one of the many, amazing Martha Beck coaches with whom I work.

(What others have to say about working with me.)

HOW I WORK

I offer personalized coaching sessions over the phone for clients in the U.S. and worldwide.  (Coaching by phone insures a focused conversation.  Without visual distractions, my clients and I find that we are able to hear the conversation in a deeper way, and we're both better able to tap into our intuition. Clients have also shared that because they are heard but not seen, they typically feel more comfortable discussing their personal situations.) 

CONFIDENTIALITY

I will hold whatever we discuss in confidence and not share it with others. However, the privilege of confidentiality that exists for doctors, therapists, and attorneys is not granted to coaching professionals; in other words, our discussions are not legally privileged.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A COACH AND A THERAPIST or COUNSELOR?

Coaches work with clients who are basically healthy and grounded and ready to live more in the moment and plan for a more vibrant future. We are very pragmatic, asking, “Where do you want to go from here, and how can we help you?” Therapists help us do the difficult job of excavating and resolving deep-rooted dysfunction. Sometimes I will work with a client who is simultaneously seeing a therapist. More often, however, I’ll begin my work after that process is complete.
