FAQs
What is coaching?
We're all familiar with athletic coaches - people who help other people become better athletes. These people have had training and experience in the sports they coach and have first hand knowledge about how to help others become better at what they do.
Life Coaching, in general, is the same thing; Life Coaches help people become better at life, better versions of who they are.
What is different about BodyMind Coaching vs Life Coaching?
There are many different kinds of Life Coaches ~ mindset coaches, business coaches, spiritual coaches. The list goes on and on! I'm a BodyMind Coach. What makes me different is the importance I place on the role your body, and nervous system in particular, plays in our coaching sessions.
Coaching involves a curiosity and a willingness on your part to believe you can show up in the world differently and more authentically, more true to your Self. It involves tuning into what you will no longer put up with, what you're ready to let go of or shift in order to open yourself to more joy, more connection and better health.
Often, a person who seeks Coaching has had some sort of reckoning or revelation that has made them question parts of their life or opened their eyes to a new way of being in the world. They see another path, one that veers slightly from the path they have been on, one that seems more aligned to the person they are at their deepest core, but they aren't quite sure how to get there.
That's where Coaching comes in. I help guide you towards your homecomeing to Self by asking you questions and helping you learn how to listen to your body which truly holds the answers to the questions you are asking. I help you discover your core desired feelings, as Danielle LaPorte calls them, and and values and how to use these to guide you. I help you find Yes and No in your body, tapping into your innate intuition. I help you combine your CDFs and your intuition to help you set your course towards your True North. And I help you do this by using your nervous system to your advantage.
Through a carefully crafted sequence of questions and conversation, interspersed with parasympathetic nervous system induction, we create real felt change in your body and nervous system. With continued practice, we lay new neural pathways that become new behaviors. And new behaviors become new habits and new ways of being that align with your true inner Self, helping you become the best versions of you.
How is coaching different from therapy?
BodyMind Coaching, then, is different than therapy because we focus forward and on creating change in our nervous system and body that lead to new habits and behaviors with how we interact and are in the world. We don't focus on fixing problems or talking about the past as much as we look to create a truer, more authentic connection to Self. While some therapy has elements of coaching in it, coaching should not be about analyzing the past or discussing diagnoses.
Coaching is always focused on helping you take aligned action towards your goals.
Your work is kind of expensive, isn't it?
It's so easy to look at a number and think "that's way too much", but I invite you to consider the costs associated with not dealing with your stress. We know that heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the U.S. and science has shown over and over again that stress is a leading contributor to heart disease. Reducing your stress can be helpful then in reducing your risk for heart disease and of course a myriad of other diseases which over time, and especially as we age, limit our abilities, shorten our lifespan and cost us a lot more than money (which can also be substantial!).
When we think of aging, I think most us wish to live a long, healthy life where we can be active with and in our children's and grandchildren's lives. In fact, most of us would consider these goals priceless. At some point, we need to make the hard choices and commit to taking care of our health and ourselves, commit to healing and do the work. I'm here to help you!
Is there a payment plan available?
I believe that everyone should have access to coaching, it is that powerful and I don't want finances to stand in the way of your health. I am able to set up automatic payments on a bi-weekly or monthly schedule.
