Introduction: Individualized Coaching is a cooperative personal journey between the client and the coach to promote positive changes in health, behavior and perceptions. It is a holistic, integrative process in which client(s) learn to focus with new, positive energy and intention on the most important parts of their lives or work, connecting purpose with their passion. This confidential process helps get you thinking and moving from where you are to where ever you want to be. We specialize in fitness coaching programs and hypnosis for weight loss and and life change. I enjoy working with the whole person, cooperatively working with individuals and families to identify core areas for change and developing a mutually beneficial plan of growth.

I went to my appointment thinking it was any other gym. I got there and it was a small studio with three rooms for workout sessions. The trainer that I met with was the owner and we sat down and just talked. As we did the normal gym talk and he asked why I was there, I gave the normal answer. John, the owner, just looked at me! Within five minutes, I was feeling like I could cry and telling him my whole life story. Yet, It was a happy cry, mainly because he was able to listen without judging me or giving me the normal gym staff lecture about diet and exercise. John talked about the whole person, the mind, body, soul is all a part of the goal setting process. We are now working together and doing a wellness progress in addition to two workouts per week. Thank you so much for setting me in the right direction.

Meet the hypnotist for my first session last weekend. I was kind of apprehensive in the beginning, but after talking I seemed to calm down. I really liked his approach, nonthreatening, yet to the point. I was allowed to ask him relevant questions as he kept asking if I wanted to know anything. After talking about my initial concern, I realized that my desire for coming there was not my main concern at all. We were able to trace a lot of my issues to the same recurring events or issues throughout my life. We ended up staying for two hours and did meditation techniques first and scheduled five additional sessions with homework in betweeen to help me with my self awareness. I actually look forward to this process, in the past I would have had lots of questions and complaints, this time I am actually looking forward to learning myself and my patterns that lead to my own problems in life.

Great experience! I started my first session very fearful. The staff was very personable and comforting. My first session was well organized and we made a plan to get me comfortable with the process and including exercise in my weekly routine.

I learned about hypnosis programs from my best friend. She told me about how she went to a therapist for anxiety and stress of divorce. I am dealing with the same issues and decided to give this a try. Funny, when I went to my first session, I was told that I was not ready for this process if I was there to try.... I realized that he was correct, I have to decide to "do" this mind journey and take myself and my happiness seriously. What a profound statement that has made all the difference. This was the most important statement I have ever made.
