Ready to get unstuck and begin THRIVING? 

Then let’s get started! 

 

I coach from a whole being approach:

• Body,
• Mind (thoughts, emotions, will)
• and Spirit  

I use both mental (talk/cognitive) and physical (automatic – knee-jerk – reaction to stress) modalities to help facilitate this process.

Talk therapy – healing from the top (mind), down:

»  Using coaching, counseling, etc. to heal the mind (thoughts and emotions).

» Thinking creates feelings – Feelings push us to action – Actions give us our results.

» When we take repsonsibility for oursevles and begin changing our (conscious) thinking patterns by learning how to tap into our sub-conscious mind and our deep limbic responses, we will begin to create healthy thinking patterns – giving us the results we desire most.

Physical based therapy – healing from the bottom (gut), up:

»  Using methods such as deep breathing, relaxation techniques, polyvegal mapping, etc. to help us become aware of – and manage – how our gut instinct triggers us to fight, flight, or freeze before we’ve even had a chance to think or process.

I draw from methods from the following in my coaching practice

IFS

CSAT

S-anon

Switch – neuroscience

Gottman

Somatic – polyvagal, gut instinct, gut-brain

When any one of the areas of our being becomes stagnant (body, mind, spirit), dis-ease can enter in. Stagnation is the state of not moving – i.e. STUCK.

When one of these main areas within our being is stuck – all other areas are stuck along with it.  It’s a like tripod losing one of its legs – the whole thing topples down.

We’re not created to be STUCK – we’re created to MOVE forward; progressing in EVERY area of our lives.

In my personal experience in healing from chronic back pain to cancer to a broken and shattered heart and everything in between; I found if we purely focus on the ONE PART of our being that’s stuck or broken – that’s exactly where we’ll stay – stuck and broken.

HOWEVER, by using a fully integrated approach, it allows our parts (body, mind, spirit) to work together versus against each other – making the healing process much more successful and thorough.

HOW IS A FULLY-INTEGRATED APPROACH DIFFERENT?

Let’s take, for example, the impact anxiety has on our physical body and our spirit:

Anxiety defined: distress or uneasiness of MIND (thoughts and emotions) caused by fear of danger or misfortune.

Anxiety is something that happens in our thoughts, but has a direct impact on our BODY and our SPIRIT:

BODY:  In general, when our thoughts speed up (as they do when we feel anxious) our sympathetic system (fight/flight) kicks into high gear, preparing our physical BODY to fight or flee. This automatic “preparation” is our body’s natural way of surviving a perceived threat.  We feel this physiological response in such ways as our heart rate increases, we might feel a tightness in our chest, our breathing increases, our muscles tighten down, etc.

By treating both our mind and body in a moment of distress – using different modalities such as breathing, body rolling, fresh air, etc. – helps create a more immediate calming effect. This helps our entire system work together to slow down; signaling our nervous system to go back into a parasympathetic (resting, calm) state. 

It’s in this calmer state where we’re better able to process what’s really true and not true.

SPIRIT:  Anxiety scatters our thoughts in a million different directions – causing our minds to race all over the place with reoccurring intrusive thoughts. This keeps us distracted from focusing on Jesus – making it the perfect weapon against us to keeps us “chasing our own tail”.

Peace is the antidote to anxiety. We must train our spirit to let Peace be the umpire of our thoughts – not anxiety. 

It’s in a state of peace where we’ll find confidence with what’s really true. This state of being is KEY in regaining control of our body, mind, and spirit – empowering us to get unstuck and move forward in the better things life has to offer.

When we learn how to fully integrate our entire being into our healing process – our healing will not only be faster – but it will be complete.

WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU COACH WITH ME:

I’m a BIG believer in empowering others with the tools and know-how so you can heal yourself from the inside out.

I’ve found in my own healing journeys – the “magic pill” was actually in ME! Not in doctors or any other person.

When you look at how the physical body is designed as well as the neuroplasticity of the mind – you can see how God designed us to innately heal from within. We just have to know how to use the tools we’ve been given! And the crux of that is our spiritual connection to God.

We ARE spirits who live in a body and have a soul (mind: thoughts, emotions, will).

In our coaching season, I’ll teach you what I’ve learned that brought me healing and freedom. Then you’ll have the tools and the know-how to move forward in LIFE and LOVE whenever you need them!

How To Get Started:

STEP ONE:

What are you looking for: One-On-One Coaching or Group Coaching?

One-On-One Coaching:  You and I will work exclusively to help you get unstuck. We’ll use assessments and the first session to strategize a tailor-made plan just for you. You and your situation are unique and my coaching approach is very personalized.

Group Coaching: Although we are unique, there are commonalities to seasons of life we go through. If you are looking at coaching with 2 or more people, we’ll work together to come up with a strategy to meet the needs of the group as a whole. This is a great way to heal in relationships and have increased accountability.
