Why Embodied Coaching?
Your Starting Point
You've just uncovered something profound. You are taking the first, second, or even third step toward finding mentorship and companionship on this journey of life. In my ten years as a healthcare chaplain – eight of which were spent exclusively with hospice patients – I have learned that many people die with many regrets... especially those whom dominant culture has labeled "successful." They regret spending too much time amassing wealth for their family when the family just wanted more time from them. They regret becoming an accountant or a [fill in the blank], but what they really wanted to do was be a conductor, a sculptor, a stay-at-home father... And they regret having few people surrounding them in their final weeks and days. So when I congratulate you on uncovering something profound, know that I see you, and I appreciate the journey you are on. Let's work together on your full story – on your mind/body/spirit – because it all counts.
On Joining a 90-Day Transformation
If you made it to this website, I probably invited you to try one of the 90-Day Transformation programs, such as the "Fabulous After 40 Total Transformation 90-Day Intensive." Aside from the week-to-week, supportive and embodied coaching I offer, here are the seven topical 90-day transformation programs, which I also offer:
- Fabulous After 40 (Health and Life)
- Body Transformation (Health and Fitness)
- Life and Career
- Life and Money
- Life and Love and/or Relating to Other People
- Life and Spirituality and/or Relating to God
- Working Through Grief
Here's a taste of my "Fabulous After 40" Program
Most people who come to me are intrigued mainly by the idea of health and life coaching being connected. So, what are some of the topics we might cover? We're going to talk about why nutrition is confusing and why it doesn't need to be. Think about diets and how they don't work. Different diets are basically moving around the ratio of how many carbs and how many fats to how many proteins an individual should be ideally consuming in a day. But what about what gives energy? What about water intake? What about exercise and movement? And what about addressing sources of stress and trauma, which lead to inflammation and intractable weight gain?
"I just want life coaching. Can't I get that without the Health and Spirituality Components?"
There are thousands of certified coaches who create a split between mind, and body, and spirit, as if they can be isolated in real life. My ministerial training has taught me that, in real life, everything is connected. Consider the typical "gym rat" who has a toned body and looks objectively great wearing anything. She has it all, right? But what if she is completely cut off from her emotions, has no direction in her career, and is $120,000 in debt? There's an imbalance at play, which is sabotaging her life. Or the "guru" who knows all about chakras and crystals, meditates daily, works out 1-2x/week, but rarely eats clean, and is 45lbs+ overweight with pain in his knees. Again, something isn't right. Working with Embodied Spirit is all about bringing full consciousness, embodiedness, healthfulness, and connectedness to all our participants. That's why you can't just do life coaching. Not here, anyway. One of the first exercises I have you complete is the Wheel of Life. Through it, you'll discover that you might have a "flat tire" in one or more areas of your life. But everything begins of the verge of awareness!
The Vision I hold for you
Life coaching is about personal transformation and following your heart's desire. Consider my five paradigms of coaching:
- You are completely powerful and capable in every area of your life already; you just need someone to hold your vision for you when you stop believing that change is possible.
- Change comes through curiosity and amazement, not judgment.
- Every step forward is a reason to celebrate!
- Let's focus on increasing your choice, not judging yourself for making a particular decision. And,
- Your greatest fears and struggles are actually your greatest opportunities for transformation.
Now is Your time!
Yes, coaching is hard work. But I'm here to remind you of the truth, which is you can do this. You are going to do a great job. If you think back in your mind to the last five, ten, twenty years of your life, and you think about all of the things that you've overcome — things you've done that were really difficult — chances are good that's a long list. So, you got this! You can do this. This is going to be fun. This is going to be easier than you thought. And I think you're going to be surprised at how well you do and how much of a good time you will have doing it
