My Approach

My holistic coaching style utilizes an internal family systems (IFS) approach, combined with accessing your own unique innate wisdom, to aid you in discovering and illuminating a path to achieve the desired outcomes you hold in your personal and professional life. Bringing together the modalities of mindfulness, somatic work, inner child & shadow work, and even shamanic soul retrieval, this exploration promotes greater access to your own personal Self leadership and your own innate ability to heal.

What is IFS?

It is an integrative evidence-based exploration into one’s self that harmonizes the many differing parts of who we are as human beings. In turn, this promotes the ability to reclaim and live more fully from our truest and most fully expressed Self. This approach allows one to reach an open state of compassion and curiosity about the many parts we hold within us, liberating and transforming the limiting beliefs these parts of ourselves carry.

What Can I Expect?

This style of coaching derives from a form of psychotherapy where the goal is to allow deep healing through generating connection to one’s authentic nature. We are naturally a system of parts… for example, part of you wants to go to the gym, another part wants to stay home and eat sweets all day. Some of our parts hold wounding, others hold behaviors and beliefs that seek to protect us from that pain. In this evidence-based approach, all parts are welcome and in understanding these parts deeper we can liberate ourselves from staying in painful behavioral patterns.

This style of coaching is used to explore all areas of one’s life, including challenges such as trauma, anxiety, depression, and PTSD in order to bring one’s internal system into greater harmony. This in turn allows us to become more Self-led in the way we live our lives, as well as to more consistently feel the qualities of Self leadership.

The 8 aspects of Self leadership include:

1. Calmness

2. Confidence

3. Curiosity

4. Compassion

5. Clarity

6. Courage

7. Creativity

8. Connectedness
