FAQs
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I am an open and honest person and I will always straight shoot you. I keep things very real. But the biggest difference with my life coach practice versus others is I approach coaching towards balance (harmony or wholeness) in all four body systems; mental, emotional, physical and spiritual. All of those systems are so integrated you must make sure you tackle each of the appropriately.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My certification is as an Integrative Wellness Life Coach which means when you work with me expect to walk away with a personal plan to move towards wellness & health in the areas of mind (thought life & patterns), emotions (emotions & relationships), physical (this can be physical health or physical surroundings/situations such as career or finance) and spiritual health (awareness & spirituality).
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
My entire adult life has been spent in the corporate world as a marketing professional, most recently as a digital marketer. Yes, you read that right – the same sites I’m telling you to step away from in order to spend more time being in the moment, were the ones that I used to place ads on for clients. I was also a national speaker on social media as well as analytics. I was good at what I did, but in 2016 life changed for me. It was then that I found myself stressed out in all components of my life. The stress was causing me to have illnesses so I did what any good digital marketer would do…I googled it. To say that I was enlightened and intrigued would be an understatement. I started to try aromatherapy with doTERRA oils, meditation, and breathing exercises. I felt better but still not 100%, so I continued my research and found courses I used to begin educating myself. I became certified as a Life Coach and that foundation helped me to help myself. I reprioritized the role of my devices (I’m still on them but not like I used to be) and began practicing the art of mindfulness. I then took a sabbatical for three months and focused on my nutrition and exercise along with the above-mentioned tools and found peace. I have a 9 year old daughter who is on the autism spectrum, lived through a divorce and I’m a single mom so I have as much peace as anyone in my position, but my brain is clear and I feel grounded. With my new perspective, I decided to start my own life coach practice to help others find the greatness (or peace, happiness, or whatever else they have been searching for). It wasn’t long before I realized that wasn’t enough for me. We are in a world where everyone is always on their phone and not experiencing the life that was in front of them. I knew the digital detox program that I created for myself could help others either in a work or personal setting. Last, but far from least, knowing how much stress affected my life and the sad statistic of 75%-90% of illnesses are related to stress, I decided to build a corporate wellness program. This program encompasses both the life coach and digital detox programs with tools for employees to lead healthier lives. This is not a profession but, a calling and a way of life for me. Together, let’s help you reclaim your life.
