My MISSION:
Helping you find your purpose
I stand in support of the continued betterment of the world.
I believe in and support freedom, equality for all, fair justice, positive progress, and love. As a life coach, the foundation of what I do is based on learning, growth, sharing knowledge, and expanding worlds. Through learning and growth, minds can flourish and discover new paths forward.
You can be empowered to create opportunities, and you are encouraged to take action in your life. You are in the driver’s seat, and it is my mission to be a light on your path towards finding what makes your heart sing with purpose.
Empathy, acceptance, positivity, and shared wisdom combine in service of your goals.
The Japanese art of kinjugi is a beautiful way of accepting the natural ebb and flow of life, and I love using it as a great example of succesful life coaching.
As a piece of pottery breaks, it's repaired and then painting with gold leaf in order to highlight the now-unique piece. That way, it goes a step further than accepting that the piece has a "flaw," or a mark of damage. Accentuating its beauty with gold makes the piece it's own, new and evolved statement.
In life, we learn to do the same thing. If something does not go the way that you thought it would, view it as a net positive. You will learn something and make it new again, in fresh and evolved way. This is growth. And you're not alone, I am here to provide neutral support, structure and follow up that can make sure your path forward is based on more net positives.
Frequently asked questions
What does a life coach do?
A life coach provides direction and objectivity, which is helpful any time you are facing a fork in the road.
Whether you are changing jobs, in a rut, leaving a relationship, moving through a new phase of life, making a transformation, moving to a new city - the list goes on - a certified Master Life Coach like me can help you stay grounded.
As much as our friends and family members want to be there to help us, often their perspectives are relayed heavily through their own lens. Without realizing it, people who love us can project their fears, insecurities, and doubts, which can cause confusion and frustration.
I am trained to use reflective inquiry to examine what you are thinking - this incites creative breakthroughs for real results.
How do I find the right fit when it comes to a life coach?
Meeting with a life coach should put you at ease, even if you might be nervous or unsure at first.
While it takes time to build trust, your first interactions should feel comfortable enough that you can be open and honest. Trust me, we have heard it all, so there’s no worry that you will be judged.
My goal is that you feel safe, empowered, hopeful, and courageous.
What should I look for in a life coach?
Be sure to look for a professional life coach who has been certified by an accredited organization, such as Life Coach Institute, ACTO (Association of Coach Training Organizations) and fully accredited by the International Coaching Federation. This way, you can be assured that your life coach has met all criteria for judgment-free, responsible work free from ulterior motives.
What do I need to do to prepare for my first coaching session?
To get started, it helps to gather your thoughts and write some things down on paper. Your current struggles and fears, what’s been working for you (and what has NOT been working), things you’d like to explore, obstacles you’ve been experiencing - these are all some things that provide a great starting point.
