Wellness coaching works because it is based on proven health behavior psychology methods used by coaches with health, nutrition, and fitness expertise who have strong “being” skills like mindfulness, empathy, warmth, calm energy, a nonjudgmental attitude while listening, and the courage and authenticity to be direct at times, as well as a belief in you.
(Before anything, please understand that I am assisting you and you will need to have an open-mind and dedication to change to see results. I will be there through your transition and support you in achieving your optimal goals whatever they may be.)
The Process
I use the following techniques in a planning process that help my clients' to develop their personalized wellness plan:
Completing a Well-being Assessment
At our Consultation, you will fill out a comprehensive well-being assessment. I will review it to get a sense of where you’re coming from and where you want to go. It will also serve as a learning tool for you, as you may be surprised by some of the results. This assessment is a small picture of your current lifestyle.

Creating a Wellness Vision
A wellness vision is uniquely yours and is based on your imagined future of health, wellness and the behaviors that you will incorporate to get you there. Motivation and values are key components and are included in your vision. Acknowledging and using the strengths you will use to overcome any obstacles will help you to move forward in the next part of the process, creating 3-month goals based on your vision.

Setting 3-month Goals
Once your vision is defined, you will work with me to set 3-month goals in order to move toward your vision. I ensure that these will be SMART goals, meaning that they are specific, measurable, action-based, realistic, and on a timeline. Then, they are broken down even further, to make small, manageable steps toward permanent changes.

Weekly Goals
After you have created your first week’s SMART goals, I can work with you on an ongoing basis to help you create an environment of success that is built upon your strengths. Goals are tweaked as needed in order to increase the likelihood of success. After a while, you may find that your 3-month goals have shifted. I will check in with you on occasion to be sure you are still going in the direction you choose. If you want to make any changes in your goals, it's your decision.

Life Coaching
As your life coach, I create a safe space where you can connect to your passion, clarify your vision, and begin taking the necessary steps to bring your greatest dreams to life. Together we will stretch the bounds of your imagination from the perspective that anything and everything is possible. Having participated in a wide variety of different transformational life programs, my approach is heartfelt, goal-oriented and honors each individual and his or her unique process.
The coaching relationship is a partnership of two equals. Through the use of probing questions, I help connect you with your deepest dreams and desires. Together we will plan the steps you need to take in order to bring your dreams to life. By challenging you to stretch beyond the bounds of what is safe and comfortable, I help you see that you can be and do more than you ever thought possible. Even when you're blinded by fear or lose your direction, I will help you feel safe and supported by reminding you of your strengths, values, and dreams.
I listen carefully to what you say so I can support you in choosing the right path for you; after all, this is your life. No stone goes unturned. Everything that you bring up in our sessions is important and needs to be explored. My role is to allow you to fully express yourself so that you can see the magnificence of who you already are. Once you see that, you can create anything, and all things are possible. It's my job to help you get there.
Relationship Counseling & Coaching
I am passionate about helping you create a playful, loving, lasting romantic relationship. Whether you receive coaching alone, or with your partner, I will show you how to make small changes that can have a significant impact on the way you and your partner relate. With my help you can heal old wounds and break unhealthy patterns. You will begin to view the past—and future—with new eyes and an open heart. The result? You have more compassion towards your partner and yourself, and you can make choices that support your relationship without feeling like you’re compromising or giving in.
Imagine if you could end the pain and suffering that comes from a lack of connection and love. Imagine having untold love for yourself, for your partner, and from your partner in a lasting relationship.
When coaching couples, I look at your relationship from three perspectives: you, your partner, and the relationship itself. Together we will explore important aspects of the relationship in terms of what's best. Not just for each individual, but for the relationship as a whole. As we explore your common complaints, repeated patterns, and unfulfilled expectations, you begin to take responsibility for your part in what works and what doesn't, you and your partner align, and the relationship grows stronger. Instead of feeling that you need to pull away from your partner, you learn to lean in and the relationship begins to come together instead of apart. Two lives merge into one, and love and romance flourish.
I can effectively coach either one or both members of a couple. The goal is to bring loving awareness to the relationship so healing can begin. And while one partner can't do the other's work, by changing their own behavior they can effect change in their partner's behavior. You'll learn how to:
Support your partner's growth with love and compassion
Own your reactions
See your relationship as a vehicle for your own growth and learning
Know when to stay and when to leave a relationship
Stay when you are hurt and not leave as a way
of punishing your partner
Resolve conflicts with one conversation instead of many,
and accept the answer you hear
Allow your partner to be right
Many people think of it as a luxury, but massage is much more
