What is Life Coaching?

Life Coaching is all about YOU and guiding you to get in touch with yourself and what you want out of life. I can help you to get in touch with your core values and overcome personal blocks that are keeping you from prioritizing what is most important to you.

Compassionate Dialogue

The first and most important part of my personal approach to Life Coaching is Compassionate Dialogue. When you are in the midst of a life crisis or trying to connect with your identity you need someone to listen in a compassionate way, so that you can feel validated. Feeling validated is very important to personal growth.

Overcoming Mental Blocks to Making Positive Changes

I can guide you into being able to envision changes that you want to make and to overcome mental blocks that may be stopping you from making them.

People Pleaser Syndrome and Co-dependence

You can overcome People Pleaser Syndrome and the tendency to end up in relationships with toxic people. If you have ended up in relationships with abusive, manipulative people, then you might have issues in your past that primed you for being targeted for abuse. I can give you methods and NLP techniques to overcome negative wiring that was set into your brain from a young age.

Self Assertiveness

Difficulty asserting yourself and setting boundaries is part of People Pleaser Syndrome. Your self esteem was probably crushed down by people during your lifetime. The ability to feel comfortable setting boundaries can be interfered with by trauma during childhood and abusive relationships as an adult.

I can give you a safe space to talk and feel validated. You have just as much of a right to set boundaries about your time, your schedule, as anyone else does. The people that are manipulating you feel that they have the right to set boundaries for themselves and you need to feel that you have the same rights.
