Mind-Body Life Coaching in San Francisco and on Skype

Are you struggling with chronic pain and fatigue, stress, mild depression,or anxiety? Have you tried standard approaches to dealing with what’s bugging you, but somehow slipped through the cracks? Or maybe you don’t even believe in the standard approach when it comes to you, your life, and your body.

How it works: In Mind-Body Life Coaching, my clients discover how to be more flexible and resilient and to heal on a profound level. The work is based on a guided inquiry that uncovers contributing factors to ill-health along with developing skills and practices that help them to learn ways of thinking and living to minimize their discomfort and to heal on a profound level. The coaching relationship is a place where they tap into their innate wisdom so that they can create the change they seek in their lives and bodies and discover their innate healing potential.

I start by ‘unsticking’ you where you might be stuck by empowering you to recognize the control you do have in your life. And then I help you discover your life purpose, mission, and values. Finally you put your dreams and aspirations into motion through commitments and action. I help you get motivated, support you in handling fear and procrastination, and teach you how to be able to roll with things better.

An Example of what can happen in Mind-Body Life Coaching

Jean came to coaching in order to find out “what the flame inside [was] saying,” to “carve out a new direction in life.” She was also looking for skills to quiet the anxiety she felt, handle her stress, have fun and relax a little bit more. She recognized that most of her decisions were based on the fear of being poor and destitute even though she knew that her actual life did not match her fears. She wanted to figure out a way to let go of this gripping fear and, in addition, move in a new direction in her career.

Jean was really into the idea of incorporating yoga and meditation with life coaching. I worked with Jean worked for four months. Two of those months she received coaching weekly while she maintained a yoga and meditation practice designed specifically for her. In addition, out of our weekly coaching sessions, she was given various readings from books and articles. Sometimes she was asked to have a conversation with her husband or someone she was out of touch with. Other times she was asked to contemplate what it was that she was reading or discovering in her coaching sessions.

Within two months, she discovered that she could “let go.” Essentially she had found a place inside of herself where she could deeply relax, so when the going got tough and she would normally be stressed out, she was able to go with the flow more. The anxiety that normally had her not only mentally, but physically as well no longer controlled her. In addition, she now feels capable not only to make choices in life that inspire her, but she feels compelled to live from a place of inspiration. The fear of being destitute, while not gone altogether, no longer has the same power over her. As a result of these shifts, she has started a new business, one that aligns with her values. She estimates that within a year, she will be able to be completely supported by this business.

She now describes her life in the following way: “I used to feel unsure of myself whenever I had to make even the most minor decision. Because of coaching, I now make choices based on my values, as opposed to the anxiety and stress that was driving me. This has me living a very different life. In the past, my choices were based on avoiding my fears. Because I can no longer find these fears, my choices are based on I what brings me aliveness, excitement, and personal meaning.”

Coaching by Skype: I do coach people who are not local. I prefer to do it over Skype. I have found this to be an excellent medium for coaching.
