WHAT IS A LIFE COACH?
A life coach, as I simply define it, is someone to help you do life better. Having a life coach is like having a personal trainer the help set up your ever day and your destiny. This can be as radical as tackling your dreams and helping you to manifest them.. It can also be as functional as working out the logistics of transforming your chaotic day-to-day life into something intentional and life affirming. I draw on my own personal experience implementing the teachings of other coaches in my own life to help you build the habits and attitudes you need in order to construct the life you would love to live.
WHY LIFE COACHING?
Many of us have goals and dreams that we wish would come true, but we never really take consistent action to bring those things to life. Many of us also have silent dreams hiding in the back corners, things we don’t even dare to consciously hope for anymore because we’re convinced they’re impossible. Others of us just wish we could define the dream already so we could get things underway already, thank you very much. And some of us are so swallowed in the day-to-day, whether monotonous or intensely demanding, that considering future directions just feels aimless or overwhelmingly distant. In all of these situations, a life coach can help you reawaken, revive, and get on track.
WHY WORK WITH ME?
I’ve been rolling about in this world of personal growth and development for a few years now. Everything I have to share with you pulls from what I’ve learned and implemented on my own journey; I have lived and am living out the same journey I hope to help you take. I have influences from several different coaches from very different backgrounds, and I am currently enrolled in Martha Beck’s Wayfinder Life Coach training program.
MY BASIC PHILOSOPHY
I believe that our bodies are full of wisdom. As a bodyworker, I see how telling bodies are about a person’s lived experience, both physical and emotional. As a coach in training, I see how much information we have access to in our bodies in regards to finding and following a life path that truly lights a person up.
I also believe that each person’s life possibilities are basically limitless. It’s not that there aren’t or won’t be significant roadblocks and detours, and it’s not to say that some of us don’t have more benefits and privileges that others. It is to say that I believe success, real life-affirming and soul-rejoicing success, is a product of good habits, and we can all build better habits.
Furthermore, I believe that seeds of desire are sewn into our hearts with purpose. I believe the dreams we have for our lives are put there so that we might manifest them -- not so that we can be tortured by them. I also believe that we have untold loads of untapped ability to truly create the lives we dream for ourselves. The beliefs, attitudes, and habits we practice inform whether or not we will actually try to realize those dreams, as well as whether we "succeed" or "fail." I am here to help you dismiss old patterns that are no longer serving you, help you build new ones that will serve you, and provide both inspiration and accountability along the way.
WHY I DO THIS WORK
My dream is to help you make your dreams come true. Seriously. I believe in you, even if you don't yet! I believe that an amazing life is possible for you, and my desire is to help you manifest that lovely life into full, breathing, shuddering, dancing color. I have arrived at this place through a long and fraught journey of my own, and I know what it is to shutter down the dreams and the joys and just muddle through with a vain and ever-diminishing hope that someday it will get better. From that place, and my journey out of it, is born my purpose and passion for shining a light for others on the path forward.
