What is and isn't Life Coaching?

Life coaching is a practice of helping people to determine and achieve their personal & professional goals. Professionally trained coaches will use a variety of methods, tailored to the individual client, to move through the process of setting and reaching their goals with an over all intention of achieving fulfillment and balance throughout the process.

Life coaches are not therapists or psychologists (although some therapists have also gone into life coaching). It is not the coaches job to "fix" you. Life Coaches work from the assumption that people are naturally creative, resourceful and whole, and that most of us deep down inside, know what we want and / or need to do to be happy. Sometimes, we just need a little guidance to find out what those things are and a nudge or "kick in the butt" in the right direction.

It matters far less why you are where you are now than it does to discover where you would most like to be, what steps must be taken to begin following that path and what is in the way of taking those steps. The coach is not there to "solve your problems" for you. A coach is there to sit beside you and guide you to discovering who you are when you are your best, what are you truly passionate about and what your higher self truly wants and needs, and then helping you to discover what is in the way of you taking steps along that path to happiness and fulfillment in all areas of your life.

My Professional Life Coach Training

I am receiving my professional Life Coach training through The Coaches Training Institute which is an nationally accredited school recognized by the International Coaches Federation. I have completed the first two courses of their Core Curriculum and will be continuing on to complete that training from now through April.

Although I am still in training I am being encouraged to get out there and start coaching. While I continue to take classes, I need to stay in practice and continue to hone the skills I have been given and begin to help affect positive changes in people's lives!

I have every intention to continue this training right through the certification level to become a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC) and I am very excited to start attracting some coaching clients into my life!

My Special Talents, Abilities & Areas of Interest

Why should you choose me as a coach?

I feel that my background in the BDSM realms as well as my training in Sacred Sexual Healing work and Sacred Intimacy through the Body Electric school, gives me a wonderful background in this field already.

I have been gifted with the ability to connect deeply and authentically with people that I work with and be fully present with them in each moment, while attuned to the nuances not just of what they say but how they say it.

I have a tremendous amount of experience around helping people be open and honest about some of the things that are hardest to talk about by offering a non judgmental and nurturing presence to them. I would like for you to rest assured that you could talk to me about ANYTHING (especially the "kinky stuff") with out fear of rejection or ridicule and that anything you talk to me about is strictly between us. (More on confidentiality later.)

I have sincere and heartfelt intentions around helping people to "follow their bliss". I have found that doing what you LOVE to do is one of the surest paths to happiness and fulfillment and I LOVE to help others to follow their dreams and learn how to be their authentic selves. Together we can explore what it is you truly want from life, and then work out how you can make it happen!

A special area of interest of mine is working with men and women that desire a deeper sense of understanding and intimacy with their own sexuality as well as with their partners. I feel that my interest in the realm of Taoism and the work of David Deida helps to give me unique insight into the masculine and feminine dynamics that exist with in each of us and between us and others in our lives. Even in "vanilla life" their are power and energy exchanges at work that affect how well we connect with people we love, live and work with.

I also strongly feel that when we are whole, fulfilled beings unto ourselves, we are in a better position to move into loving and fulfilling relationships and my life experience has taught me a great deal about how to gain a greater sense of purpose and contentment as an individual so that you have more to offer to an intimate partner and to the world. I would love to share some of that experience with you and help you find your own path to that sense of joy that comes with living your dreams.

For more information on how that process unfolds in part plesase read on. Where do we begin and how do we get started?
