A Blended Approach that can Help You Become the Highest Version of Yourself

What Coaching/ Transformational Coaching are? 

Coaching is a relatively new field and is growing fast. It is spotlighted on Oprah and CNN and written about in popular publications.
The International Coach Federation (certifying board) defines coaching this way:
“Professional coaching provides an ongoing partnership designed to help clients produce fulfilling results in their personal and professional lives. Coaches help people improve their performance and enhance the quality of their lives.”

Transformational Coaching offers a way for you to become empowered when old stories, beliefs and habits, that you may or may not be aware of, keep you feeling overwhelmed, frightened, powerless and stuck. This shift can be approached in a more easeful way than perhaps you may have tried before. With transformational coaching, you and your coach can discover root causes of these stuck points in the present moment, allowing the ability to move forward.

The coaching process includes setting intentions / goals/ desires, creating awareness, planning and carrying out actions that lead to powerful changes in your life, relationships or business.
Transformational Coaching again, is designed to add a deeper layer of looking at how you want to evolve in your life and offers sustainable results— With Transformational Coaching, you can shift not only what you do but who you want to be in the world. 

What Coaching is not?

Coaching is not Therapy: In Coaching the focus is not on dysfunction, mental illness or the past. Although the past comes up in coaching, the coach and client work to shift old childhood beliefs to new beliefs that will help to move one forward. Celebrating wins and receiving acknowledgements is another aspect of coaching that supports being in the present moment and creating strength to move toward what will fulfill you. 

Coaching is not Consulting: In coaching you are the specialist and the belief is that you, in your body/mind awareness already have all the answers you need to move along your path.  In the coaching process the coach guides the client by asking powerful questions and at times suggesting tools that strengthen one’s ability to move toward self discovery.
Coaching is not Mentoring: Your coach does not take the stance as one who is more knowledgeable but rather assists you in finding your own knowing and creating whatever awesomeness you desire.

Energy Modalities:

When we have experiences in life that are largely impactful and perhaps have been frightening or extremely negative to us, there is a freezing effect in the mind, in the muscles and even cells of the body. Meaning that the effects of the experience are “remembered” and get embedded such that we may get stuck in some aspects of the flow of our life. Some people experience emotional discomfort, physical ailments resulting from chronic stress, repetitive negative thinking and self limiting distorted beliefs. Many people feel frustration and like they cannot move forward no matter how hard they try.

Energy Modalities such as Meridian Tapping (Emotional Freedom Technique/Thought Field Therapy), Cellular Expansion and Brainspotting, can gently and quickly release negative events that are frozen in the mind-body system. Using energy modalities can assist you in changing how you see the world, relate to people and regulate your emotions.  Energy work offers an integrative approach to coaching and healthcare treatment and is rooted in ancient mind-body healing traditions going back 5000 years.

Benefits that can be attained with blending Transformational Coaching & Energy Modalities

This integrative approach combining Coaching and Energy work is efficient as one can work to release these frozen “capsules” of memory from the mind and body using energy modalities. For sustainable results it is necessary to address what we hold in our bodies as well as our minds.  Tapping (Thought Field Therapy), Cellular Expansion and Brainspotting can be used to address what old beliefs or memories we hold in our body as well as our mind.  Once fears and negative thoughts and emotions are released we may have the ability to live more in the present. From this place of greater confidence and strength, we are able to take advantage of the benefits of coaching….working toward fulfilling our life purpose and creating the relationship we desire.
