Something To Consider
"One of our greatest freedoms is how we react to things," said the mole.

Discover Your True Self
Identify Your Fear
We all experience fear. It’s standard issue for humans. Fear affects our lives in ways we don’t even realize – until we learn to recognize its many disguises.
Most of us recognize our physical fears, such as heights, spiders, pain, snakes, public speaking, sky-diving, wild animals, the sight of blood, etc. But what about other kinds of fears, the emotional, psychological, spiritual, and social fears that we all have as humans, the fears that stop our forward movement, our personal growth, our joy? How do we recognize those fears? And, even more importantly, what can we do about them?
Fortunately, there are practical, effective, instantly accessible tools, skills, strategies and ideas that we can use in all parts of our lives, for all of our fears. With these tools, and individualized tweaks, we can make permanent changes for the better and live a more balanced, satisfying, joyous life.
When you’re ready to take the first step towards discovering your true self – the self beyond your fears - and building the life of your dreams, the life your soul is urging you toward, call me at (206) 331-8012 to set up a consultation. We can then explore how my coaching services can support you and clarify the process of change. During this consultation, you can experience a shortened version of my coaching style and substance as well as ask any questions you may have. I’m here to support you in your self-discovery and growth in building a life that fulfills your soul’s desire.
Build A Fulfilling Life
Your definition of what constitutes a fulfilling life is the definition you and I use over the course of our sessions together. As a Life Coach, I am more interested in the “how” of your building a fulfilling life rather than the “what” or the “why.” Not that those aren’t important, it’s just that they’re very personal and individual to you. This is reflected in our sessions because every session is specific to you - your life, the challenges you face, the fears that you discover, the progress you make.
What I can provide for you during the process of building your fulfilling life is support and encouragement for you, your process and your progress, and a safe, non-judgmental space where you can express emotions, explore challenges, possibilities and opportunities, and take steady steps towards your goals and the life you desire.
My Own Experience
The idea of being a Life Coach came from being, in my own life, stuck in fear, frustration, and inaction, and noticing the same thing happening in other people’s lives. I wanted to be able to help myself, and other people, effectively, and do it in a way that was empowering rather than directive. Reading the plethora of self-help books just wasn’t cutting it. I wanted company, one-to-one support, and practice with my life. I wanted to make a change for the better in my world and in other people’s worlds, and to do it with real-life knowledge and practical skills to back up that knowledge, skills that would work whether I believed in them or not - like gravity works, whether I believe in it or not.
The choice to study with the respected Rhonda Britten and the Fearless Living Institute, which is often called the "Ivy League" of life coaching, was a no-brainer. The nine-months-long coaching education program challenged me in a good way, and I can tell my life is different because of it. Not radically different, but subtly and significantly different in ways I’m still discovering. Using some of the tools daily contributes to that difference. I am now a Certified Fearless Living Coach, and I'm committed to continuing my coaching education, to keep getting better at what I do, and to keep practicing transformational coaching.
I've come to realize that coaching isn't about giving answers from a place of authority or experience. Instead, it's about working with people to discover their own unique knowledge and strengths and answers, and to bring those to the fore. It's about giving them support and the simple, practical, effective tools they need to take control of their own life, to move forward toward the life their soul longs for. As a coach, this belief and this way of thinking are at the heart of what I have to offer.
