Relationship and Wellness Coaching - I, The Coach, adopt The International Coach Federation’s definition of coaching quoted in part which is as follows:

Professional Coaching is an ongoing professional relationship that helps people produce extraordinary results in their lives, careers, businesses, or organizations. Through the process of coaching, clients deepen their learning, improve their performance, and enhance their quality of life.

In each meeting, the client chooses the focus of the conversation, while the coach listens and contributes observations and questions. This interaction creates clarity and moves the client into action. Coaching accelerates the client’s progress by providing greater focus and awareness of choice. Coaching concentrates on where clients are now and what they are willing to do to get where they want to be in the future. Coaches recognize that results are a matter of the client’s intentions, choices, and actions, supported by the coach’s efforts and application of the coaching process.

You can expect that I, your Coach, will be honest and direct, asking straightforward questions and using challenging techniques to help you move forward.

Somatic Experiencing – I have certification as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP). This is a form of practice that involves use of the body’s physiology to help promote nervous system regulation. It combines cognition and meaning with a focus on bodily sensations, movements, and sometimes touch work. It is incredibly powerful and enhances the success of mind and body wellness tremendously.

I am also trained in a wide variety of evidenced based coping skills. Please reach out with any questions about modalities, or if you are wondering about a specific form of coaching.

I strive to help you recognize your strengths and resilience and use this as a tool to help foster growth.
