What is Holistic Life Coaching?

I like to think of myself as a guide, someone who walks a journey with my clients. I let them lead and walk beside them; or maybe if the brush has overgrown, I’ll blaze the trail for a couple of steps to help them retake the direction.

At the start of a coaching relationship, I have my clients establish a focus for our time together. We meet in person or via Zoom, where they can feel at home and most safe.

I listen and I ask questions that can lead to deeper discovery as they answer, search and share the thoughts that come up for them. I use a variety of question styles from fact finding, clarifying, or those that have a client move out of their head and into the reactions of their body (somatic questions). I offer accountability and if needed, a little confronting with love and kindness for clients who are afraid to admit the truth. We work on creating the positive outcome they are wanting, in thought and in action.

At times we will work through exercises and there are times when I assign “grow-work” to help strengthen our conversation between sessions. But we are constantly moving toward the focus goal. 

I am Certified in various healing modalities and therefore I am able to take a holistic approach with my clients. I provide support that looks at the whole person taking into consideration their physical, emotional, social and spiritual wellbeing.

Each person will have a different journey and a path to healing that is influenced by their age, gender, culture, heritage, language, faith, sexual and gender identity, relationship status, life experience and beliefs.

A holistic approach focusses on a person’s wellness and not just their illness or condition.
