What is coaching?

Coaching is the process of collaborating with my clients to create awareness and clarity around their deepest desires and the limiting beliefs that hold them back, in order to make new decisions that align with their heart’s desires rather than their fears.

How do I know you are the right coach for me?

Soulful conversations are important to you, and you regularly seek out ways to improve the quality of your life.

You love creating and being associated with things that add value, love, and inspiration to the world.

You value honesty, accountability, the golden rule, self-expression, and are willing to experiment and learn new things.

You enjoy being around people who are creative, funny, optimistic, curious, and adventurous.

You yearn for a life of more freedom, purpose, connection and creative fulfillment.

What is the difference between coaching and therapy?

Therapy involves diagnosing and treatment of mental disorders defined by the American Psychiatric Association. It often includes things like counseling, psychotherapy, psychoanalysis and other forms of advice giving by professionals licensed by the state.

Coaching does not involve diagnosing and/or treatment of mental disorders defined by the American Psychiatric Association.

Think of coaching like hiring a physical trainer to improve your performance and therapy like going to see the doctor to figure out what is wrong in order to start the process of getting better.

With coaching, starting from a place of high-functioning is implied: you are just looking to get better. Hiring a therapist is about figuring out what is wrong in order to start learning how to become high-functioning.

How can I be sure coaching will help me change my life?

To reap the benefits of powerful coaching requires a deep commitment and willingness to change.

A willingness to look at parts of your life you might prefer to hide from, and take full responsibility for the life you have created so far. It’s simple, but not easy.

It is scary to challenge beliefs that you have always accepted as true.

It is scary to let go of a way of being that may be the norm for your friends and family.

It takes a lot of courage to tell yourself the truth about what you really want and deciding to go after it, especially if it goes against what you have been told is the “right path” to success.

If you have a track record of committing to and achieving your goals in the past, you can do it again.
