Life Coaching Philosophy


The Human Experience

Sometimes we just feel stuck, we feel disconnected, uncertain; something just doesn’t feel right. Sometimes we experience significant trauma, and because we don’t have the tools or support systems at the time, we are unable to process, release it, and heal. Sometimes we know we have the potential to do more, to live in greater alignment with our true self, yet some unnamed thing seems to hold us back from achieving our potential and goals. 

We can have old limiting beliefs or stuck emotions, rooted in our past. We can develop patterns and habits based on experiences, which may have served a purpose at one point, but that are no longer effective or serving our highest purpose now.

We can end up living a life not of our own choosing, but based on the expectations of others, seeking external validation, or pursuing what we thought was what we wanted only to learn we never actually enjoyed, wanted, or needed that thing in the first place. We live a life based on this social and cultural conditioning, rather than one of our making, which aligns with our true self and highest calling. A clear and aligned life is where we can live most meaningfully and authentically, and where we can share our gifts with the world with the greatest impact. This can be in work, relationships, self-development, school, health, fitness, or pretty much any aspect of our life. 

But how do we resolve this? How do we learn to process, release, and heal from stuck emotions and limiting beliefs? How do we move forward in life with clarity, confidence, and ease towards greater balance, alignment, and wellness?

The Path of Self-Discovery, Healing, Growth, and Transformation

You have the answers inside. You have that inner voice – connected to our Source – that wants to guide us in the right direction, back to balance, wholeness, and clarity.

Sometimes, however, we were taught to dismiss “gut feelings” or “intuition”, or we were told to believe certain identities or ways of life weren’t okay, or that some paths in life were more acceptable, profitable, or successful than others. Years, even decades, of conditioning and suppressing or ignoring that inner voice can make it hard to hear it again.

It can feel difficult to gain clarity when there’s so much fog, or when we’ve walked someone else’s well-paved path for so long that we stopped using the map and compass, and then all the sudden realized we don’t remember how to find our own way.

This requires both un-learning and relearning: remembering how to relate to ourselves in a more authentic way, how to hear that voice, and orient ourselves on our own path. Sometimes we need some help on this journey to overcome what is blocking us, to see more clearly our potential, our gifts, and our path. 

The Value of Life Coaching

That is where I come in. I have experienced these exact things. I lived for so long seeking the validation and approval of others and following what I thought was the acceptable and safe path, only to realize I felt disoriented, confused, and unfulfilled. I am committed to a life of continued self-discovery, healing, and growth, and assisting others on their path.

As an Integrative Wellness & Life Coach, I will walk alongside you as a guide, as a partner in your journey of reconnecting to who you are. I won’t give you the answers, rather I’ll help you rediscover the answers that have always been inside you. You will remember your inner wisdom, innate gifts, and your own abilities to heal and achieve your potential. I will encourage you to take ownership of this power. You will learn to identify, evaluate, and choose strategies and actions that lead towards your achieving your goals with greater clarity, confidence, and balance in your life. 

I will share knowledge, tools, and techniques, which I’ve learned and practiced in my own life that you can add to your pack of resources for your journey. Life will never be free of challenges. We will inevitably experience things that feel painful, that are difficult, that disturb the waters. That is part of being human.

However, I hope that after working with me, you can walk through life with confidence in who you are, feeling encouraged and empowered, knowing you have the skills, tools, and answers to find your way no matter how unclear the path becomes.

No matter how stormy the weather, no matter what obstacles and challenges present themselves, no matter what happens to shake you, you will be able to calmly let the dust settle, regain balance in your life, and reorient yourself and your direction.
