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!
