COACHING SUPPORT

About you

  • You may present externally as ‘the strong one’ in your circles

  • You may often get stuck in cycles of fight, flight or freeze

  • You may crave softness within survival, ease within the effort and joy within the despair

  • You may have difficulty digesting your stress

  • You may want to learn to approach your challenges gently to build your capacity to be regulated even when struggling

  • You may want to engage in practices to befriend your body, your mind, your emotions and even your darkness

  • You may want someone to witness your courage and concerns as you walk your own unique path

About me

  • Me too - all of the above!

About us

  • We meet regularly, in person or online

  • We communicate in a variety of mutually-determined ways (talking, sacred silence, meditation, shared mindful movement)

  • We listen to the wisdom of our bodies through movement (walking, hiking, yoga) and restorative practices

  • We resource ourselves with compassion and care

  • We build our capacity to face challenges skillfully

  • We both under that coaching is different from professional counselling

  • We understand that mindfully building awareness and regulation is a gift we give ourselves and other

IF THIS RESONATES WITH YOU, TAKE A CHANCE AND REACH OUT FOR A COMPLIMENTARY CALL!
