"Destiny is not a matter of change,

it is a matter of choice;

it is not a thing to be waited for,

it is a thing to be achieved."

What is Coaching?
Coaching is a dynamic and interactive professional relationship that is co-created by you and your coach. The purpose of this relationship is to forward the action in your life and to deepen your learning about yourself.   You acknowledge what is deeply true for you and make choices and plans based on what is true for you.    In the past, Coaching was used for executives and athletes to propel them into being their best, now everyday people like you and me are using coaching to reach their potential.  As a result of coaching, everyday people are discovering how absolutely extraordinary they are. 

What is Five Element Acupuncture?
Five Element Acupuncture is a style of Acupuncture that uses the energies of the cycles found in the seasons and applies those natural laws to human beings.  It is used to further your transformation as you journey towards being who you want to be.  

I often use the metaphorical names of the acupuncture points to integrate whatever process is happening in your life.   For example, if you are having a difficult time seeing the big picture of your life, I might needle the acupoint named "Wilderness Mound."    When you receive the energy of this point, you may feel as if you climbed upon a mountain top and can see the bigger perspective of your life.  What would you see?

Why combine Coaching and Acupuncture?
Great question! Each of these modalities is so powerful when used alone. And the combination of the two is as if 1 + 1 = 5.  Coaching has you step into your magnificence boldly and Five Element Acupuncture is used to integrate these shifts in your body as they happen. Energetic patterns shift as you begin to experience yourself becoming the beautiful and fully expressed human being that you are.   If you choose the Acupuncture for your Soul program, you will find yourself feeling very grounded and balanced as you create your life to look exactly how you want it.

How big are the needles? Do they hurt?
This IS the most frequently asked question (in case you thought you were the only one). The needles I use are about the size of a cat's whisker. Most clients experience no pain upon insertion of the needles. Some clients report a slight discomfort as the needles activate the energy called "qi."( pronounced "chee")

How long do the needles stay in?
Treatment time can vary from 20 to 40 minutes.

How does Acupuncture work?
Acupuncture is a system of Asian medicine that is thousands of years old. Tiny needles are inserted into specific acupoints along the energy pathways in your body called meridians. This safe and painless insertion of the needles unblocks obstructions of qi and restores the body's ability to heal itself at the levels of mind, body, and spirit.

What is Co-Active Coaching?
Co-Active Coaching is a powerful alliance designed to forward and enhance the lifelong process of human learning, effectiveness, and fulfillment. This method of coaching is taught at The Coaches Training Institute. It is a powerful model where the philosophy is that clients are naturally creative, resourceful, and whole and have all of their own answers.

What is the difference between coaching and psychotherapy?
Coaches are not psychotherapists. Coaching is for people who are functioning well in life and want to take their life to the next level of fulfillment and success.  Coaching focuses on who you are "being" in the world and supports you to achieve the goals that you are committed to producing.  Results and forward movement are an integral part of coaching, as well as being present to your moment-by-moment experience.

How do you know if Coaching is for you?


Here is a question for you:

"What does your heart want?"

Do you have your answer?

Consider hiring a coach:

  • If your heart's answer if different from what you are pursuing in your life.
  • If you are pursuing what your heart wants and not getting the results that you want.
  • If you are ready to have your full self-expression be alive and real in the world.
  • If you want to be known as a magnificent and powerful person who is out to make a difference.
  • If you are tired of the self-defeating voices in your head telling you the same stories and instead, you want to show up as you truly know yourself to be.
  • If you are interested in being present, being authentic, and following your heart as a means to success and joy.
  • If you want to get really great results on your projects.
  • If you are willing to stretch your boundaries and move "out of the box."
  • If you are a leader and you are ready to take it on.
  • If you are ready to discover and live your life purpose.
  • If you are tired of trying to do it all on your own.
