Life coaching is a collaborative process during which I help you build a life of authenticity and alignment in the very things that light you up. Sometimes, it's a matter of overcoming fear, attuning to joy and building a vision. Other times, you might know exactly what you want but seem to get hung up on something. Together, we discover and address whatever blocks you from dreaming and building your future with a compassionate and nurturing approach.

I provide you with tools and a safe space to help you access and deepen your personal wisdom and the soul-utions inside of you. I also help you strategize and fill in the gaps, discover or point out patterns and blocks, and hold you accountable to your dream. I cannot do the work for you, but I can support you and lovingly call you forward.

We set a goal that is focused on your values and aligned with your authentic self. Sometimes, figuring out that vision is the work.

Each session begins with a short grounding exercise, then we explore what comes up that prevents you from taking action or what might be energetically blocking you from receiving what life wants to offer you. I then offer tools to explore them more deeply, transform your perspective, or strategize based on the need that presents in each session.

I use my unique blend of tools to address whatever comes up as we move you toward your goals. I am certified in the Mastery Method and offer my personal experience. This includes years of meditation, personal stories, knowledge, whatever it takes to move you forward so that together, we address a triangle of change: Awareness, Acceptance, and Aligned Action.

Most often, each session consists of work within each one of these, but in one-on-one work, the process is highly individualized and we address what is necessary.

In general, nurturing your inner child means meeting unmet needs with the presence of a loving guide. What this means depends on what resonates with you, but we all have universal needs that, when met with love, move us forward in the most compassionate way.

Life coaching is future focused. While we may have to address young parts of you, I do not help you process your past in the way that a therapist does. Furthermore, life coaching is goal and action-oriented in a way traditional therapy is not, and a therapist is licensed to work with you on big traumas in a way that I am not.

The short answer is that no one needs coaching. You are not broken, you are whole.

The long answer is that life coaching is like salad. You won't die without it, but you will most likely benefit from eating it. Life coaching helps people go from good to great, great to exceptional, or even passably struggling to generally calm. Are you making it through the day without coaching? Of course you are. You're resourceful and resilient. Would you benefit from having someone who walks the path to guide you along? When it's the right fit, absolutely.

You can seek a life coach at any step in the journey, whether you're clear in your vision or not. Ultimately, when to seek a coach is up to you. Some points to consider are how long you've struggled with this issue on your own, if you're ready to receive professional guidance, and if you feel some sense of connection or trust to the coach.

Great question. While some life coaches may operate by advising you on how to proceed, a trained life coach will help you see blind spots and give you the tools to arrive at the answer yourself, helping you build trust in your capacity to solve your own problems and build your personal dream.

At times when a friend prescribes advice, a life coach asks powerful questions to help you get unstuck, or guides you in an exercise that gives you new perspective and helps you meet your needs in new ways.

Advice from trusted friends has a time and place, but life coaching empowers you differently by unearthing the wisdom already inside of you.

Inner child work involves establishing a connection to our most authentic self. As a nanny, I witnessed how raw and authentic children are. They know exactly what they want and have far fewer hang ups than adults do. For example, a 20 month old boy was inspired by all the things his girl nanny could do rather than feeling inferior or as if he should  do better. These ideas come later in life, with socialization, family and cultural condition.

So nurturing the inner child means addressing parts of ourselves as if they were a small child and providing the guidance that helps us be more compassionate, expansive, and capable, all while being the gentle-yet-firm guide a small child needs.

Sliding scale pricing allows me to offer tiers of payment prices. These are designed so that people of different income levels have access to the tools and support they can have. The tiers can be read as "supported, balanced and supported" which I draw from Caverly Morgan, my first meditation teacher.

I offer a pricing on a sliding scale for two reasons. The main reason is that it feels aligned. The second reason that gave me the push I needed is that, as I traveled along US HWY 82 from Tallahassee to Phoenix, I realized that minimum wage jobs aren't keeping up with a global economy and I wanted to be able to serve some of the very helpful and kind people I met along the way.

Please, do not let pricing be a reason that you do not contact me. If you feel the call to work together, we can find a way together. I'm always happy to work with you on increasing income as a first priority.
