TRUST
I help you to listen and receive information from deep within and to trust and then act on that information. This encourages a sense of empowerment, confidence, capability, responsibility and authenticity that is rooted in trusting and believing in oneself.
I use a portfolio of artful coaching tools and techniques to do this including meditation, visualization, mantras, affirmations, the development of mindfulness, music, sounds and frequencies, colors, prayer, breathing techniques, empathy development, storytelling, signs and symbols, body awareness, dreams, archetypes, developing creativity and much more.
These tools and techniques essentially help to de-clutter, calm and quiet the mind so that you can tune out all the distracting noise and nonsense and tune into your own essential truth that is available, accessible and arriving from your own heart and spirit in each and every moment. This inner truth offers the humbling opportunity to guide your life in more purposeful, meaningful and joyous directions. I help you to believe in yourself and stand tall in your sacred stature. I help you to develop trust in the messages and guidance that arrives in the silence.
'To go out of your mind at least once a day is tremendously important. By going out of your mind you come to your senses.'
~Alan Watts
That inner voice cannot possibly thrive and be heard in an internal environment that is cruel, shaming, judgmental, criticizing, rigid, prescribed or hateful. I help you to create an internal culture of kindness, respect, compassion, acceptance and love. Yes love. I help you to love and approve of yourself.
“Love more than tongue can tell or heart can hold in silence.”

COURAGE
I help you find the courage to act on the information and guidance you have found within yourself. I help you find meaningful ways to express your full potential, to manifest health and happiness and to positively serve the people and the world around you. This courage builds positive momentum, forward moving action, excitement, energy and wild enthusiasm. Thoughts, words and actions are intentionally aligned with one’s innate truth and wisdom.
Courage means to 'dare greatly.' The word courage comes from the French word 'cour' meaning heart. The original translation of the word courage means 'to tell the story of ones heart.' I help you to tell the story of your heart. That is exactly what true courage requires of us, to tell the story of our heart and do what we truly love, with abandon and obedience and without an ounce of timidity.
"Let yourself be silently drawn by the stronger pull of what you truly love."
~Rumi
The urban dictionary describes courage as the 'ability to do something that frightens one.' I help you to move out of comfort zones, dare greatly, move through the FUDs (Fears, Uncertainties and Doubts), blast through sabotaging blocks, pulverize procrastination and discover the courage to make positive and meaningful changes in your life.
I use a wide range of contemporary, effective tools and techniques that help you take that first step, focus, clarify, prioritize, organize, strategize, shift perspectives, set, reach and surpass clear and achievable goals, create coherent plans of action, find energy, motivation and inspiration, have a clear check-in structure, build in accountability, gather appropriate resources, find meaning and balance in your choices, develop a positive attitude and much more.
These practical tools and techniques essentially help you express, manifest, create and apply your skills, talents, knowledge and wisdom in everyday life.

4. Coaching that is technology based and heart-centered
TECHNOLOGY BASED
I use technology at the heart of my life coaching practice so that you have a personal life coach that is available and accessible 24/7 wherever you are located in the world.
Technology based life coaching is smart, effective and efficient. Whether you are at home, in the office, on the move or relaxing on a beach somewhere, you can be coached! This makes coaching super convenient, comfortable and affordable as there are no overhead costs. I also make current, appropriate, brilliant recommendations for apps, sites, software and other technological possibilities to enhance your coaching experience outside of the coaching session. These help to support, expand, track and surpass your performance goals and desired emotional experiences. Here are my current fave five, NO FEE, TOTALLY FREE apps for you to rave about.... Productivity- Toodledo Creativity- Evernote Connectivity- Skype Personal Finance- Mint Education and Inspiration- TED Click here for the Android Store Click here for the Apple Store

HEART-CENTERED
I use a heart-centered approach to life coaching. This means the coaching is always personal, tailored to your specific needs, intuitive and holistic.
It also means the coaching is transformational. Heart-centered coaching means you can expect the following; Integrity- professional, honest, ethical, authentic coaching. Compassion- I actually prefer the word ‘karuna’ which is a Sanskrit word that is insufficiently translated as compassion. ‘Karuna’ means a deep love for all beings. It describes one’s ability to relate and connect to another with an intense understanding that comes from a sense of unity and acceptance. Non-judgment- objectivity and neutrality. Respect- honor and acceptance of every life journey. Emotional Intelligence- an open, willing heart, dedicated to providing a dynamic, radiantly positive coaching experience that encourages you to feel your emotions. Why is this important? When you do not allow yourself to feel, you do one of two things; you end up numb or you end up resentful. These two unconscious, yet insidious emotional choices are not selective in the way they impact your life energetically or vibrationally. They find their way into every little nook and cranny of your life causing an emotional experience of unease or dis-ease. When you send this energy out into the world from your heart, guess what happens? The world cheerfully reflects it right back to you! Like an echo. This way you get another opportunity to look deep inside your heart, truly feel and experience the human emotion you had been denying, accept the full range of human emotions that affirm you are ALIVE and begin to accept with gratitude the gifts of life regardless of their outer packaging. 'Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. ~ A Course In Miracles Click here to discover more HUBs (Hot Undeniable Benefits) of heart-centered coaching. |
