Being in and out of therapy for years without finding relief, Cassie had become entrenched in her story. Her anxiety and depression had crippled her energy stores and she was struggling to get through everyday life. She had no confidence in her own ability to create positive change in her circumstances when it came to her relationships at work and home.

WHAT WE DID:

We challenged her limiting beliefs to get her in touch with the immediate changes she needed to create in her life. She became clear about which conversations needed to happen, which behaviors she knew weren’t serving her that had to go, and how she truly felt about people and situations. We worked with her partner to emphasize the short-term solutions that would be implemented and get his support in order to initiate change for the long term. She reported that coaching was more effective than all the therapy and counseling she’d received, and she was feeling happy and empowered.

Samantha had waged an internal war with the different parts of herself. Shots were fired and blows landed - wounds came in the form of self-deprecation, emotionally abusive self-talk, and dangerous bottling up of emotions and truths. Her mind was divided by guilt and shame. She had truly lost touch with the champion inside who she thought she lost due to aging. In addition, she seemed to be attracting people into her life who would abuse her in much the same way, which reinforced her limiting beliefs that she was worthless and deserved to be unhappy.

WHAT WE DID:

We united the parts of Samantha to align with her essential self. She utilized tools for self-love and acceptance and began a practice of offering unconditional love and support to herself, and to connect to the parts of her that were strong, empowered, feisty, and brilliant. She began following her heart and trusting her own intelligence. Her confidence returned and she finished projects and began viewing herself in a much more adoring light. Major life decisions were finalized with love and she stopped letting fear and negative self-talk drag her through a life she didn’t enjoy. Along with self-love comes creativity, trust, and resourcefulness. Not to mention a deeper ability to extend love to others. All the sudden things fell into place, an ease returned to her life, and she stopped caring what others think about her choices because she is now being led by love.

Kathy called with major life changes going on: a relocation to another country for her spouse’s career (which meant leaving her own job), the loss of a dear family member, and an onset of highly distracting back pain. She was spending a lot of energy trying not to feel her emotions and was very confused about what actions to take. Now that her back was acting up she decided to take physical rest, so she had much more time to stew over her problems and she wasn’t getting the stress release of regular exercise. Decisions she needed to make seemed impossible, time was running out, and she was flipping back and forth through possibilities without being able to land on any single option. Every option to her felt like the wrong choice. The universe seemed to be dragging her forward without her permission and she felt trapped and devastated about the conditions of her own life.

WHAT WE DID:

Once she was able to explore her true feelings, the messages from her higher self began to arrive. She connected to her truth and landed on exactly what she needed to do and how to open herself to accepting what came next. The future became a friend, instead of a scary monster. She became empowered to take action and realized the power she did have to control her own life. After opening up to her partner and getting clear on what she needed in order to be happy, she abandoned the victim role and became her own hero. As she tackled getting another job in her new city, another opportunity arose, then a world of possibilities opened up again and she became indecisive once more. We worked to calibrate her body compass and used metaphor visualizations to help her get clarity on her desired feeling states for the present and future. She’s now moving forward with the guidance of her intuitive self and is exploring (with curiosity and enthusiasm, rather than fear and doubt) new dreams about a future that is much more in line with what will bring her best gifts into the world. All this with newfound courage and belief in her own wisdom and capabilities. We got her setup with stress management and mind-body techniques to reduce her physical symptoms to the point that she was able to move and lift heavy objects again without any discomfort.

About to graduate from college, Jen was excited yet totally lost on what to do next with a new career and how to manage her relationships upon her return to her hometown. Many fears and limiting beliefs were ruling her life and preventing her from connecting to her powerful higher self. Old attachments to an outdated identity enslaved her in the past and she was having trouble viewing herself through the lens of her present-day self; a bright, optimistic, and talented young woman ready to emerge as a new professional. Her deep desires to make a difference and change the world were being choked off by uninvestigated thinking and a shackled mindset. Strong yet highly sensitive, this beautifully empathic woman was longing to manage her intense and sometimes terrifying experience of the world with the momentum stirring inside of her that screamed, “Go! You can do this!”

WHAT WE DID:

Helped her get acquainted with her body compass and taught her how to tap into her inner wisdom through the power of tuning into her body sensations. Explored her deepest beliefs and fears to shine light on the real myth/truth of them. She absolutely blossomed, learned to trust her own knowing, love herself in spite of “imperfections”, and embraced her emotions as invaluable messages that can inform her rather than scaring or upsetting her. She wanted tools to use to maintain a lifestyle full of self-care and time for herself and to embody and preserve the positive changes she felt while being on her own. She found inspiration, bravery and eagerness to move forward and create the best possible life for herself. I’m excited to witness her forward movements and whole heartedly believe in her ability to change the world!
