I will show up for you as an equal partner with curiosity rather than someone who “has all the answers”. I will elicit your own inherent wisdom about your vision, values, and motivation for change especially as it relates to health and wellbeing.

I believe that positive health and well-being is more than the absence of disease. Our physical health is only one part of a person’s overall well-being which also includes their sense of meaning/purpose, their environment , social and economic health, connections to friends, support and community , their spiritual health and mush more.

I believe the client is the one who has to initiate the lifestyle changes, not the coach, and the client is the one who has to live in their body and in their life. I will want you to feel empowered, motivated and will encourage you to sit at the center of your lifestyle and healthcare decisions. You will have an experience of building capacity to initiate positive change in your health.

Part of enhancing motivation has to do with aligning your vision and goals with your deeper values. What value would be served if you make a change? Does it have to do with family, work, our own health, relationships as a value? I will help you with identifying those values which will clarify your goal-setting process and discover a sense of meaning and purpose when making a change.

This is the central philosophy of my coaching process. I understand what it is like to not be heard, to be belittled, to have our concerns (even medical) to be minimized.

Have you ever had a teacher, mentor or coach who believed in your ability? I will hold a space of possibility for you so you can see your wholeness even when you may not see it yourself. I will bring your positive emotions that help to prime your brain to see possibilities and believe that change is possible. I will hold and create a safe space that is non-judgemental where you are able to learn and grow.
