In a nutshell, life coaching is a one-on-one personal coaching modality that helps you identify your barriers and remove them so that you can move forward with your life. Utilizing a Life Coach is a great way to have unbiased support in reaching exactly what you want for your life. At times it may not be the matter of a goal or vision, rather just feeling "stuck" in life. When that happens you may not understand why you are not getting ahead. The answer is that we consciously or unconsciously impose barriers on our lives, goals and dreams.  A Life Coach represents the catalyst to help you bridge where you are right now to where to want to be.

How will Life Coaching benefit you?

Life Coaching will benefit you as soon as you are ready and willing to make a change in your life. Making a life change means recognizing and releasing what hasn't been working for you and being open-minded to new possibilities; ultimately freeing yourself of limited thinking and behavior. There are many reasons people do not grow in life and reach their goals .. be it low self esteem, excuses, lack of motivation, lack of will power or self limiting thoughts and habits... the list goes on.

Think on this for a moment. Your past actions, thoughts and decisions have landed you right where you are "now". In order to break the cycle of past creation and move toward the direction of your wanting, you must change those negative patterns and create new thoughts, habits and behaviors. The work of a life coach is to help you see your patterns. My clients  have found that being able to view their situation through an alternative perspective can be very enlightening.  


Do you need a life coach? Answer these questions to find out:

    Do you see recurring patterns in your life that are unhealthy? In your relationships?
    Do you have a goal that you would love to achieve but seem to sabotage it as you near realizing your dream?
    Do you have lofty business or personal goals but are scattered and unsure of where to start? 
    Are you in a dead end job and want to branch out on your own?
    Do you want to find your "purpose" in life?
    Do you desire harmony, peace, consistency, confidence, success in your life?
    Are you ready to shed the old you and start fresh?
    Are you having a hard time communicating effectively at home or at work?
    Do you want to lose weight or have better health?
    Are you experiencing tons of stress and want to know how to effectively handle your stress?

What is my role as your Life Coach? 

My role is to assist you in reaching your own truth and answers. I promise to effectively challenge you by asking you thought provoking questions. Together we will unlock your potential.

How is my coaching different from others?

In short, I am different due to using several processes merged together to speed up the time it takes to set your life in motion. In scientific studies of the mind, we have come to learn that there are two major parts of the mind: the conscious and unconscious. The conscious mind is the reasoning, analytical part of us all while the unconscious mind is where all memories, thoughts and beliefs reside. As I mentioned on the home page; it is my sincerest desire to assist your growth as a whole person. The process of coaching addresses the conscious mind and hypnosis addresses the unconscious mind - by weeding out your limitations. By blending the two modalities together you get the best of both worlds. I have found that they work wonderful independently but when used mutually... the results are much more profound. *By no means are you required to have the blended practice. If you desire to only do coaching or only do hypnosis, you are free to make that decision.


How are coaching sessions structured?

Coaching sessions are structured so that you can utilize coaching based on your needs. Although most of my sessions primarily conducted one-on-one in the office, I also offer coaching by phone when you are unable to meet in person or if you live out of the local Charlotte area.

I request that you allow at least 1 hour per session. I highly recommend keeping a journal throughout your coaching process due to the dramatic changes in your life as a result of going through the natural progression of growth. Having a journal serves as a great reference to show you how far you've come. 

In order to build a solid coaching foundation, we will meet once per week for the first 2-3 weeks and then gauge your progress for the remainder of your sessions; possibly stretching them to once/2weeks. 

        Items included in your coaching package:
        
            * Assessments 
            * Free email contact while we are working together
            * 2 Free "in touch" phone sessions; after your initial package has ended (to be used within 1 yr)
            * Newletters, articles and information pertaining to your goals
            * Bring a friend session. (For your most committed support person to understand what you're learning)
