My life coaching approach combines my training in body-based coaching and learning through the Academy for Coaching with Horses, the principles and practices of Non-Violent Communication, and Sarah Peyton's work on the power of resonant empathy to rewire our brains and nervous systems, restoring self-love and well-being.

This approach connects body, emotions, mind, and spirit, and creates powerful new neural connections that enable us to move towards calm, creativity, and wholeness. It's a simple, powerful, trauma-informed approach that supports a wide range of growth and healing processes that are essential to making sustainable change, including:

​

• healing self-criticism, anxiety and depression

• learning how to feel safe, grounded, and at home in your body and in life

• learning how to have a good relationship with your emotions

• building confidence and self-esteem

• developing healthier relationship dynamics - for example, learning to trust, set healthy boundaries, acknowledge and ask for what you need, and hear "no" without shutting down

• developing communication, conflict resolution and leadership skills; and

• grief and major life transitions.

If you have experienced significant trauma or life has been particularly difficult for you, you may need psychotherapy rather than coaching, at least to begin with. I am able to offer both, so at the start of our work together, we will explore what kind of support will be most helpful for you. Please see my Psychotherapy page for further details.
