Is Your Life during the pandemic Missing these Elements?
​
  • A sense of balance and groundedness
 
  • Feeling centered in your heart and intuition
    ​and acting from that center
 
  • A sense of forward movement and positive growth
​
  • A sense of meaning and purpose for your life​

Is this You?


​- Perhaps you think of yourself as a courageous and confident
but right now you feel lost, ungrounded and just can’t seem to figure out what to do.

​- ​Perhaps you have done a lot of work on yourself and are normally quite mindful, calm and centered
but right now you find yourself reacting to people and unable to find your calm

​- Perhaps you regularly use a whole toolbox of techniques and tools, and perhaps you even teach them to others,
but right now not much is working for you and your yoga and meditation just feel off

​- ​Perhaps you are used to a busy life full of accomplishments
but right now you can’t seem to get things done and when you do they just feel empty or pointless

​- ​Perhaps your home was once your sanctuary
but now that you are working from home you are feeling scattered and finding it hard to relax and enjoy your sanctuary

​- ​Perhaps you normally love self development work
but right now all the talk about ‘meeting the challenge with joy’ or ‘transforming during difficult times’ just makes you angry

​- ​Perhaps you have invested your free time by diving into self development work and love it
but are having a hard time putting it all together; you want to really change your life but how, and into what?
​
​- ​Perhaps you are thriving in this new way of doing things and can see the opportunities that are arising
but are  overwhelmed by the options and all the work that each opportunity requires

There is a Better Way


Balance and grounding arise naturally when you are able to live in mindful choice rather than reaction to the outside world.  This means that it is possible to stop waiting for things to change and it is possible to stop pushing against the changes that are being thrust upon you.  You can move into the balance and grounding that naturally grow from mindfully living in choice.
​
Setting and maintaining healthy boundaries allows you to hear your intuition and your heart’s messages. Acting from that center supports you and creates an environment where everyone in the household can thrive.
Coaching can
ease and quicken
the journey
back to balance
and forward
​into growth
When you learn to manage time with meaning then life aligns and you area able to move forward with a sense of positive growth.

Identifying  your missing ingredient for success can get you unstuck and start you moving forward. To get a taste of this powerful process try the following. Identify what is upsetting you. Write down the facts of the situation (not your interpretation of the facts). How does the situation make you feel? What does your heart need in this situation?

Living from your values and purpose infuses all of your life with meaning. You can realign by writing a personal mission statement that reflects your purpose and your unique way of enacting your purpose that is in alignment with your values and utilizes all of your unique experiences and strengths. Putting all of this together into a statement is just the first step. Really living with deep purpose raises a host of difficult choices as you realign your life. Active support can help smooth and quicken the process.
If this all sounds like things you have already tried,
then coaching is definitely for you
because there is something that is being overlooked.
​A coach’s outside perspective can help you locate the misalignment.
Everyone has a unique success formula so reading self-help books and watching videos only gets us so far. So often these resources are like a flash in the pan, they ignite our insight and inspiration but are simply not strong enough to really cook the meal. The tricky part is maintaining the inspiration and actually living from the new perspective. These wonderful resources get us focused in the right direction, but we are the ones who have to actually walk the walk. True change happens with ongoing support, through working with someone as you take the inspiration or new wisdom from a book or video and try to integrate it into your daily life. ​
​When you find inner peace, you move the world towards peace.

Get Support


​Growth and change inevitably includes struggle. Challenges arise as new ways of being and perceiving bump up to old ways of doing things, old ways of being with people, old ways of perceiving what is possible for ourselves and our lives. This is where coaching makes all the difference.
You can't see your blind spots.

You can't see your assumptions.

Your habits are invisible to you.

Your fears hide in your subconscious.
​
And your feelings just make a mess of everything.
A life coach helps to make visible the invisible​. A coach will catch you as you fall in to old ways of being and give you instant feedback, will keep you moving forward by helping you to maintain your inspiration and motivation, will help you navigate your relationships when the changes you are creating in your life begin to impact the lives of others, and will keep you ‘woke’ and living in choice as you create a life that is truly worth living.

There is no 1,2,3 process to leading a happy life. Each of us is unique. Each of our experiences and ways of being are unique, each of the ways we get in our own way are unique. A life coach partners with you to ease and quicken the journey toward your vision of a life well lived.
​
This is how I coach. Not as a bubbly cheerleader, but as a partner who befriends the highest part of you as well as the part of you that you have kept hidden away from the light; and as an accountability partner who is also your enthusiastic advocate along the road to wholeness.

Why work with me?


​I love helping you be who you really want to be. I love to see people’s gifts come to light and help them share those gifts with others. I love to help people untangle the knots in their self-beliefs. I love to help people find their ‘ah-ha’ of insight from which everything changes perspective.
​
I came to coaching through my own journey of self discovery and spiritual study and I love to share with others the unique power of coaching.

​I have always been a seeker, a questioner, looking for truth and how to live a better life, how to heal myself. I am an introvert who loves ideas. And I have lived with various levels of depression all of my life. In my twenties and thirties I sought to heal myself through investigating deeply into many Eastern spiritualities through reading, in depth classes, and retreats with masters. I was striving to fix myself through listening to the wisdom that has remained alive through the ages. I seeped my mind in interactions with different ways of thinking about and living in the world. That wisdom opened my mind to new perceptions and I did change; my suffering diminished and I began to move through the world in a different way. I was able to create Retreat Finder to help fellow seekers like myself. But struggle and depression continued to be my primary experience, and deepened with a series of health crises that I now understand to be Environmental Illness aka Multiple Chemical Sensitivity.
Certified Professional Integrative Coach
Read Alec's Bio
I mention all of this because it was not until I began working through my inquiry directly with another person that my life truly began to change for the better. There is a magic that happens when working with a trained person through the act of engaging in dialog; hearing responses from another person to my own thoughts, perceptions and interpretations of wisdom teachings; being directly challenged; and exploring through questions tailored to evoke an opening in my perspective.
I just needed a bit of assistance in 
getting out of my own way 
and 
​accountability to actually show up for myself.
Through this process I moved from living in what ‘could be’ or ‘should be’ and dropped into living in what is; the present moment, the truth of the lived experience and all the possibility that exists in every moment (if we are brave enough to see it), and the truth of my own heart. I began to live in my authenticity. I just needed a bit of assistance in getting out of my own way and accountability to actually show up for myself.

​This is why I became a certified professional life coach. I have experienced the power of coaching for myself and see that one-on-one or small group engagement is what is needed to move from just thinking about how things can be better to actually changing your life.

You are Invited


You are invited to schedule a free 25 minute consultation session to see if coaching is right for you.

The free 25 minute consultation is truly free of charge. It is just a conversation in which we get to know each other, discuss what coaching is, and see if we are a good match. I will ask some questions about what brings you to coaching and you can ask me anything about myself and the coaching process. I will be honest with you about what coaching can and cannot do.  I will tell you if I believe I can be of assistance and if we feel to be a good match. If your needs and interests are outside the realm of coaching or if we are not a good fit I will tell you and hopefully be able to offer some resources to support your needs. If it does seem that coaching is right for you I will tell you about the packages and options for support, but you are under no obligation to move forward.  
​
It can be intimidating to talk to a new person so please read around this site, check out the videos, and click over to the social media to read a few posts. When you are ready please complete the form to schedule a consultation, or send me an email with any questions.

Now is the time to invest in your Self.
​
You can’t afford not to get coaching. If coaching feels like it is just what you need right now, please don’t hesitate to inquire.
