FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is a Holistic Coach?
As a holistic coach I work with the wholeness of your being. I help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself to create awareness within, awareness about others, and situations you may have had or are struggling with. When we become empowered we shift to our authentic self, and it's here you feel fearless and more in control. Working with the soul opens your heart so you can achieve the goal that brought you to me in the first place.
Once you have 'self-discovered' you'll start to see changes and notice things you never noticed before because you're more comfortable in your own skin and you have learned how to consciously communicate from an empowered heart. You feel better about yourself and will have the spiritual tools to guide you during difficult times, and that's what creates resilience, inner peace and joy. So whether you're seeking closure, want to gain perspective about a personal issue, are afflicted by anxiety or simply want to learn and grow into the beautiful person you are meant to be - you'll arrive home to yourself and take away valuable information, tools and know you are a light meant to shine!
Why should I seek your services over all the other coaches out there?
Great question! I am not mandated by a specific method and believe that everyone is unique and requires an individual approach to achieve the desired outcome. I have also been there...I understand what it feels like to experience depression, anxiety, relationship issues, fear of change and a want for something more in life.
Apart from being a holistic coach I am a practitioner for emotional healing, Pilates Instructor, have done a lot of self-discovery and taken part in soulful workshops and experiences while in the jungles of Costa Rica. I don't just come with a 'normal' 'run of the mill' approach. I like to make it educational, interesting and comfortable.
How do you differ from conventional therapy?
As opposed to conventional therapy that works with mental and emotional health, I incorporate a spiritual element while guiding you to an understanding of where you are 'falling short' within yourself while offering useful tools and practices. My approach is love based because I feel that where there is love, you can arrive at your solutions, goals and achieve results better, faster and happier!
Why do you talk about the importance of self-discovery?
Self-discovery will show you how to use mindfulness, recognize your self-sabotaging thoughts, control your triggers, let go of your fears toward change and judgement while learning to communicate rightly and compassionately. Only through introspection are you able to make the changes you desire because we have a foundation to build upon. This work also allows us to uncover your purpose, what fuels you, what direction you want to take and what needs to be transformed so you can arrive at your destination.
How do you work with couples who are having issues?
First of all, let me begin by saying that few relationships are perfect and we have little information on how to maintain happiness after the stress of life sets in!
I love to work with couples for the sole reason that they learn how to consciously communicate with one another and communication is the #1 cause of relationship disconnection. When you know why you feel the way you do, why your partner doesn't see things your way, understand how to 'show up' for one another and get a deeper understanding about the importance of emotional support, you are able to see one another in the light and can move forward with tools that work!
While we're here, let it be known that some couples also see me to connect deeper to one another so they can prevent future disconnection which seems all to prevalent these days.
How did you start your journey?
I've always been intuitive and had a high EQ (emotional intelligence) so I could read people quite easily and I seemed to know what to say or what to do. My passion for behaviour and the human spirit lead me in this direction after an injury I had many years ago.
I was always that 'go to' person who helped others solve their emotional problems and relationship issues so as I continued to evolve, the Universe kept showing me signs and I followed. I worked hard at letting go of my fears, shifted my mindset, understood the power of vulnerability and recognized that I have always been able to connect comfortably with others so I followed my heart unapologetically.
I believe it's easier to soulfully connect to someone when you have 'been there' yourself, to be completely authentic and know how to hold space is key and I realized the ultimate goal for all of us is LOVE. Love was something that came naturally to me because my heart has always been full and it needed to be shared so others could achieve their personal goals.
