disclaimer: while I don’t call myself a coach, it IS an important part of working with me one-to-one.

Have you ever been talking about a problem with a friend or family member, and they asked one question or made one comment that suddenly changed your perspective on the whole thing, or gave you a huge aHA moment?

That’s part of what a talented life coach does.

A life coach is someone you hire to give insight and perspective.

Someone who knows what questions to ask.

And it’s even better working with a coach because, let’s face it, our friends and family have an agenda. There’s nothing wrong with that…it’s just the truth of it.

A good coach’s only skin in the game is helping you.

Simply put, a coach is a professional who helps you when you need it most.

Most coaches have a specific set of skills for a specific set of people.

I work specifically with the woman who feels anxious, and a little lost.

If you’re just bursting to understand who you are.

If you’re trying to figure out what your next step is…but you don’t know how to start.

You’ve had some really bad days, and you need someone who gets that.

Boy, do I ever.

I know what it’s like to not be able to drag yourself out of bed…even though you’ve been awake for hours.

I know what it’s like to feel horribly broken, even though you’ve got things pretty darn good.

I understand having no direction, no idea what you’re going to do next. Feeling lost in a sea of anxiety, afraid to move forward.

You’re not alone, sister.

The answers are already inside you. You just need a little help getting at them.

Women spend so much time looking to society, to our families, to our friends to tell us how to engage with the world. What we should wear, how we should look, how we should act. How we should parent. How we should partner.

Should should should.

What if we stopped shoulding ourselves?

What if instead of looking outside, we looked within?

That’s what you and I will do, together. I’ll help you figure out what you already know. It’s about your journey, and what you want.

I blend my experience as a massage therapist (we’re fantastic listeners), yoga teacher (we know that flexibility and strength is for more than just the body), artist and writer (we get creative), doula (we understand transition and pain) and plantwitch to help you discover what you want most out of your precious life.

And then I’ll help you go get it.

While coaching isn’t the ONLY thing I do, it’s an important part of working with me one-to-one. If you want to hear more about how to create the changes you crave, click here and sign up for your free discovery session.
