A Coaching and Somatic Healing Program
for Radical Self-Trust
"The only true formula and way forward, is your own."
-Your Loyal Knight
|
We suffer when we're not living from our TrueSelf. My mission is to help you identify your TrueSelf and recognize how it speaks to and through you. My goal is to help you learn how to develop radical Self-Trust and live by it, step by step, until you cannot imagine any other way. |
|
Who I Work With and Why:
I work with spiritually-inclined Sensitives, Survivors, and Creatives who struggle to trust themselves, and are ready to learn how. I work with those ready to prioritize their wellbeing, identify their heart and soul desires, and act in harmony with their TrueSelf.
I use the term Sensitive as an umbrella term for my tribe and typical client. You have unique wiring, constitution, strengths and weaknesses. You are highly sensitive, perhaps identifying as HSPs (Highly Sensitive Person) empathic, kindhearted, caring, gentle and giving. You may be recognized as old souls and way-showers, even if we can't see that in ourselves. We are intuitive, deeply feeling, and have 'all systems on.' You are able to read emotion and energy, perhaps at psychic levels. You are the born healers of this world. You are Empaths.
Sensitives often struggle with trusting themselves. This is a travesty because you're born with a direct line to Spirit, and you embody unconditional love. But many Sensitives are insecure and filled with self-doubt, give their power away, and are unable to listen to their inner guidance. Without self-trust there isn't a stable connection to your Essence (your TrueSelf). Therefore, you struggle with hearing your TrueSelf, let alone make choices from it. You struggle to provide yourself with what you really want and need to thrive.
Everyone is prone to struggle with self-trust, self-love and self-worth. Disconnection from one's Essence is traumatic. Then we've all have personal traumas and adversities, but Sensitives have unique challenges:
The Mission of Keys To The Kingdom:
Give Sensitives the Keys to:
Empowering Sensitives will have a healing impact for us all.
It's my belief that Sensitives incarnated to role model what our world needs most right now. We naturally embody unconditional love, authenticity, vulnerability, empathic-witnessing, safety in equality, mutual appreciation, value and respect. We are born healers and New Paradigm leaders. For too long Narcissistic/ overly self-focused / superior-types have been leading without the qualities Sensitives are born with. They and all of us, need Sensitives to step up and teach these qualities, demand these qualities for all people, all living things, and our living earth.
My role is to help you see who you already are, whole.
You are ready NOW for what you long to receive, ready NOW for your dreams and purpose to be ablaze, ready NOW to lead, heal and empower others in a fulfilling way for you. My role is to support you in taking the keys to your kingdom, revel in the wellbeing, union and inner guidance of your True-Self, and step up as the unique and sovereign leader YOU are.
You dear Sensitive,
Are precious and fierce beyond all comprehension.
You are the embodiment of divine love.
You are the secret ingredient to make the world rise,
But first you must see that for yourself.
You must come home to yourself.
Not only is it difficult, it may feel impossible. The world teaches us to look outside ourselves. And you have been through worlds of pain, I know. My life's work is to make it easier, and I designed this Coaching and Somatic Healing Program for you. If you struggle with trusting and advocating for yourself, with seeing your inherent value, if you're overwhelmed by your sensitivity, or are healing from people, mindsets and commitments that hurt you, this program is for you. If you already trust yourself and want to go deeper, this program is for you. If you want a practitioner who supports your journey by focusing on your Sovereignty, (not their idea of what you need) this program is for you.
How Does This Program Work?
The Keys to The Kingdom Coaching and Somatic Healing Program is designed to be a multifaceted and comprehensive support system in developing RADICAL SELF-TRUST. Your TrueSelf is uniquely coded in your heart and soul. It's your Essence. It knows the way. Nobody outside of you can hold a flame to that. You are the one true expert of your life. My job is to hold some powerful and affirming space, provide life-enhancing information from an integrative perspective, and to help you reconnect with your Sovereignty.
Most of us understand that with more self-trust and self-love we can access what we want most from life. But we are not taught how to heal from an integrative perspective. Often we are presented with a mental approach, which is only one dimension and relies on over-thinking, analysis, problem-solving, constant effort, willpower and ‘white-knuckling’ it. This approach can do more harm than good. It does not address the root causes of why you may be stuck, suffering and repeating old patterns. It does not provide the level of compassion and understanding you deserve.
As a Certified Health and Wellness Coach, Advocate to End Domestic Violence, and Somatic Healing Practitioner, I support your healing process at a deeper, holistic and somatic level. I guide you in the process of coming back into your body, healing your nervous system, connecting with your authentic emotions and inner guidance, understanding the trauma of disconnection, and how safe relationship with yourself and others, naturally leads to self-love, self-trust and self-care. Also as highlighted above, we focus on the unique challenges, constitution and superpowers of being a Sensitive.
What Can You Expect From This Program?
You can expect the space, compassion and my ferocious commitment and belief in you, to take the keys back to your kingdom. My intention is that by the end of the program, you will have the confidence and skillet to recognize you TrueSelf and to embody Radical Self-Trust. In this glorious reunion your answers come organically, and they will be beautiful and entirely your own. You can embrace your unique nature and invite in what you need and want most to thrive and be happy. No healing practitioner, therapist, spiritual teacher, friend, relative, partner, coach or guru could have possibly predicted what is right, best and true for you. Only you will. <3

Everyone is prone to struggle with self-trust, self-love and self-worth. Disconnection from one's Essence is traumatic. Then we've all have personal traumas and adversities, but Sensitives have unique challenges:
- High Sensitivity has been pathologized and scapegoated in our families, communities and culture. High Sensitivity has been minimized, shamed, treated as inferior, and looked down upon by others.
- Sensitives tend to have an Inferior Ego wound. We are also born with tremendous humility which is a beautiful gift, but is often taken advantage of my those craving power and control.
- Sensitives absorb tons of information from external stimuli, emotions and energy. This information, sensory, emotional and energetic overload may block them from identifying their own experience, and therefore knowing how to act in their own best interest.
- Sensitives may have mental, emotional, and physical symptoms from absorbing other people's pain. The Sensitive may believe it's their pain and try and process and heal it, but it does not belong to them.
- Sensitives may be trying to live like non-Sensitives; too busy, absorbing too much toxicity, overstimulation and outside information. This prevents them from being in touch with their own rhythm, wellbeing and a centered state.
- Sensitives tend to be 'other' focused, and may get lost in codependency and care-taking at the expense of their own needs. Their ability to caretake others often started in childhood. Taking care of the 'wounded' may feel normal, expected, or like it is their responsibility (traumatic conditioning.)
- Sensitives see the best in others to a fault, often trusting people who do not deserve that trust, who may take advantage of, invalidate or abuse the Sensitive to the point the Sensitive's sense of self is damaged. Sensitives may often attract narcissistic/ overly self-focused/ superior types to their life because it feels normal to be looked down on, bullied or controlled, or by believing in that person's false confidence and connection to self.
- Sensitives are often spiritually-inclined and focused on self development. This combined with an inferior ego, humility, and the tendency to trust the wrong people, can lead to choosing teachers, groups, classes, methods, relationships, careers and communities that simply are not good for them. This perpetuates their inability to trust themselves and leads to disempowerment, codependence and the illusion that their answers lie outside of themselves, or have to be earned, endlessly worked hard for and suffered for. This also reinforces our 'expert' culture, that 'experts' have their answers.
- Sensitives may have internalized that something is wrong with them, not enough, or they are doing something wrong, and their answer is to 'fix themselves' and 'try harder'. Taking action from their wound perpetuates their pain, and the experience of being stuck in life. No amount of acting from a wound can give you the peace, healing, wellbeing and union with yourself that you truly seek (and truly deserve, dear sacred heart.)
The Mission of Keys To The Kingdom:
Give Sensitives the Keys to:
- Trust THEMSELVES, follow their own answers, develop confidence and embrace their inherent worth.
- Understand their unique superpowers while also recognizing and healing their inferior egos.
- Come to support and manage their sensitivity, creating boundaries on physical and energetic levels.
- Start making lifestyle choices that align with their unique constitution, instead of fighting against it.

Where I’m Coming From:
As a Health and Wellness Coach
First off, I am a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach. I became a Health Coach almost twenty years ago. I take a whole person approach. It’s not just about doing ‘the things’ to be healthy, but getting more in touch with what lights you up and makes you feel good. Approaches based on fear, 'shoulds', or 'not being enough', don't work. I relate to you as already whole, not someone who needs to be fixed. Also, unlike a Life Coach, a Health and Wellness Coach is trained in supporting your physical health and wellbeing as a foundational piece in moving forward. So I will keep an eye on the basics like your stress and activity level, relaxation, self-care, sleeping, eating and exercise patterns, as a way to support you. Based on your preference, this aspect of your program will take up as much or little air time as you prefer.
Health and Wellness Coaching gives you the support, structure, and safe space to prioritize your wellbeing. We work together to identify your main concerns. These can be in any area of your life; improving relationships, work, your health, self-care and lifestyle, navigating transitions and burn out, connecting to your creativity and purpose, enhancing your vitality and energy, self-esteem, emotional healing, developing a positive mindset, attracting more ease and abundance into your life, etc.
On our journey together, you connect with your ideal life vision. So unlike therapy as one example, coaching is forward focused and includes setting intentions, making goals and taking inspired action. I support you to move toward your ideal life vision and dreams, in the most empowering and inspiring way for you. We focus on building self-trust, listening to your inner-knowing, embracing that you're worthy to receive, and cultivating the skillset to coach yourself.
My goal is to help you create a lasting bond with your authentic, TrueSelf. Long after our work is complete, you can feel and honor this bond. After the program, you have the skillset to listen to yourself, and make yourself a priority for now on. You can rest and let go, embodied in radical Self-Trust. This dear soul, is what we all deserve. <3
As a Somatic Healing Practitioner
As a Somatic Healing Practitioner, I have a deep appreciation of how your sense of safety in your body, yourself, your life, your relationships, and in our work together, is a critical factor in allowing you to heal and access your inner wisdom. Processing your main concerns on a mental level alone can be draining and harmful. It could leave you stuck in old patterns and beliefs you’re not consciously aware are running the show, or you are aware, but not in how to free yourself. We all have a protective ego, it is to be human. In this program I will provide you with a basic understanding of how the mental body and it's need to understand, and how our defensive and coping mechanisms, can keep us trapped. I will show you techniques of how to drop into your body, connect with your authentic emotions, embrace your child self so that she is heard and loved but not taking over, how to 'feel to heal', and how to embody and be for yourself the strong, loving witness you always needed.
Depending on your comfort level and preference, we can devote as much of our session time in embodied practices as you would like. I will guide you through somatic healing, grounding and alignment. I will offer safe space so you can reconnect to your authentic experience in the present moment.
I have been training for 20+ years in Somatic Healing, through my own practice of healing embodiment, yoga, meditation, mindfulness, and holding sacred space for others in groups and individually. As a Sensitive, this has always been intuitive for me. Right now I am also in a graduate level intensive for Healing Practitioners called Compassionate Inquiry, with supervision and weekly practice. For more information on my training and experience see my Bio.
As an Advocate to End Domestic Violence, Coach & Somatic Practitioner
I will always relate to you as the expert of your life, and bring consent into every aspect of our work together. Especially when you are struggling, you are in charge of your life and deserve to be treated that way. Even when it's hard to make decisions or know what is best for yourself, my role is to see, reflect back and help foster your internal guidance. My role is to help you develop your inner knowing, no matter how dim that sense may feel in the beginning.
As a Survivor & Wounded Healer
I am a wounded healer. We are all wounded healers. In my opinion, the safest ones among us are honest about that, and would not claim to be 'awake.' Nobody should claim to know more about you than you do.
As a survivor myself, I know too well the pain of giving my power away to others, letting others tell me what I need, or letting others control me. I know what it's like to come back from that, after years of abuse, needing to work harder than most people to be able to trust and validate myself over self-doubt. I walked through the trials of all the external noise claiming to be the truth, expert culture, self development exploitation, false teachers, and relationships with manipulative, aggressive and predatory people. My calling is to help you protect yourself and your path from someone else’s projection, arrogance, control or search for power. Or more common and benign, (especially after some time healing from abuse, or not having been the target for abuse) to support you in trusting yourself when something or someone is perfectly ok or well-meaning, just not helpful or resonant for you. My calling is to help you develop the skillset of trusting your TrueSelf as the one true expert of your life.
As a Sensitive
Anyone who follows my work knows I am passionate about creating community and belonging for those of us who relate to being highly sensitive. I use Sensitive as a broad umbrella term for HSPS (Highly Sensitive People), empaths, deep feelers and thinkers, old souls, wayshowers, wounded healers, and kindhearted, giving and gentle people. I am a Sensitive. It's my nature and life path to support us. We have unique challenges as well as unique gifts. We tend to be 'other' focused, often giving to the point it's at our expense, perhaps even codependent. Part of my work is helping you prioritize yourself, and create healthy and equal dynamics in all areas of your life. Having been raised in an aggressive world, many of us struggle with, judge, reject and fight against our sensitivity. I’ve been there. So a huge part of this program is helping you reframe your relationship to being a Sensitive, and come to appreciate who you are. I support you in making life choices that resonate with your unique needs and constitution.
As for being Spiritually-Inclined & Taking 100% Responsibility
As for being Spiritually inclined, I have been talking to God, my angels and guides since I was a kid. I am not religious. Spirituality is personal. Being Spiritually-Inclined does not mean you are religious, or ascribe to a certain set of beliefs, or even believe in a God. To me, it means you believe in some version of a Higher-Power whether it is love, your HigherSelf, oneness, kindness, seeing healing opportunity in life’s trials, God, Spirit, Mother Earth, etc. I work best with people who relate to being spiritual on some level.
I believe a huge part of my role is helping you see your true Essence underneath your human suffering. Everything you need is already inside of you. Just looking for improvements, changes, happiness, etc. on the outside causes perpetual suffering.
Right now, what you are going through is the perfect opportunity. It's you gateway home. I believe everything you've been through, are going through, is an opportunity to heal and come home to your TrueSelf. Then, your life experience becomes invaluable medicine and wisdom you can share with others.
Life is hard. But without finding your own deeper meaning, or taking responsibility on some level, it can lead to staying caught in victimhood. I am not talking about justifying the actions of a perpetrator, everyone deserves to be held accountable for their behavior. I am talking about seeing things from a higher and more integrated perspective. It's about taking responsibility for your human life here on earth, and seeing your trials as part of the destiny of your Soul. It can be easy to get lost in feeling endlessly victimized by life’s traumas. And honey, i've been there. As someone who's been spiritually-inclined my whole life, I’ve still struggled with getting lost in the view ‘life is happening to me’ or ‘I’m powerless.’ We all get upset about our circumstances and stuck inside negativity. That’s ok. It’s the human experience. Freedom is not staying there.
Working with me is agreeing to work with a practitioner who will not only deeply support your pain in the here and now, fully acknowledging and holding space for you to feel and express your hurt, but also holding space for your limitless TrueSelf who has big plans for you. I will help you trust in the exact unfolding of what's happening as your path forward, that there is a deeper love and alignment happening for you than you can possibly imagine. From this empowered place, I will support you in consciously responding to your challenges, including where you choose to take action for growth, healing and change.
Questions and Answers:
What is a Basic Session Like?
Each session is completely catered to you. It's offered in a heart centered, listening based approach. We identify your intentions in working together overall, as well as your preferences for how the session goes. Many people find grounding and somatic based work is a great place to start. It can provide relaxation, perspective, and a deeper place of clarity. From there, we talk about your main concern, discuss materials, your goals and intentions, and actions moving forward. Everyone is different. Some clients like spending extra time exploring the additional information and structure provided through the program modules. Other people prefer to have less structure. Instead they choose a more organic, intuitive, feelings based progression. There is no wrong or right way. Together we find what an ideal session, and forward progression, is for you.
Each session lasts between one hour and an hour and a half, combining somatic healing work and coaching. The length of session and the combination of modalities used are the client's preference.
What Exactly is Coaching and How is it different from Therapy?
Coaching is future and goal oriented. It is focused on creating positive outcomes and enhanced performance. The people who benefit most from Coaching are highly motivated and ready to take a deep and honest dive into creating their ideal life. It requires willingness, honesty, and courage to uncover what you really need. It requires being 100% committed to yourself, showing up, being coachable, and to the process itself. It's not always easy; growth and change can be scary sometimes. But it's incredibly rewarding to make progress where you crave it most. And, the process is always directed by you. You are in the driver’s seat, you decide the pace, focus, and can end the program at any time.
Coaching is not therapy. While it is a welcomed, safe place for difficult feelings, vulnerability and looking at the source of old limiting beliefs that keep you stuck, it is not to be used in place of a therapist or a clinical setting. Some clients also have a therapist, previously have had therapy, and/or don’t need a therapist at this time. If you have concerns about your mental health, mental stability, or about being triggered by the deep dive nature of Coaching and Somatic Healing, my suggestion is to table a Coaching program for now.
What Will I Get Out of 'The Keys To The Kingdom: Coaching and Somatic Healing Program'?
The Keys To The Kingdom Program is a commitment to come back to yourself. It is an invitation and safe space, to hear the current that is YOU, underneath everything else in your life. There are few places like this. My approach is heart centered, feeling focused, and embodied. I relate to you as the expert of your life. I help you build the skillset of hearing your True Self. It takes practice. By the end of the program you will have the tools and confidence to live from your Essence.
I support you in self discovery and making meaningful, lasting change. Being able to coach yourself is a skillset you can learn. With my assistance, you make a vision of what is calling you. This vision becomes your compass. Over the next 10 Sessions, you build confidence and experience in how to best move toward your vision; identifying and prioritizing your needs, setting goals, taking action, and pulling in new resources and support as you grow. New challenges never stop. But by the end of program, you will have a solid foundation. You realize through practice, support and refocus, YOU ARE YOUR OWN COACH AND HEALER.
What if I still want to work with you when the program is over?
Great question. Many clients like to keep working together when they've completed their program. We've built a deep and meaningful professional relationship in the course of the program, and it can be beneficial to have that continued support over time, for as long as it serves you. I offer a reduced graduate rate for clients to make long term coaching more accessible. I can do this by forgoing the additional structures the original program included. Our graduate work together is done entirely 'in session'. We come up with a new routine in how often you'd like to meet, booking session to session with no commitment.
I want more information. Do you offer a free hour long consultation?
I am happy to provide more information over email or schedule a short phone call to see if working together is a match. I do not provide free hour long consultations at this time. I do provide single sessions, and that is another great way to see if the program may be for you. Email me here for more information.
Do you offer Single Sessions?
Yes. We explore your current main concern in our session together. I combine Somatic Healing and Coaching through the same listening based, heart centered approach consistent in my program. These stand alone sessions do not require a commitment or include the structure and materials built into the full program. Single Sessions are $300 for up to an hour and a half. Email me here to book a session.
Do You offer financial aid, a sliding scale or reduced rate?
I am able to offer financial aid to a few people a year through a reduced rate. Rates for the program are up to 50% off. These spaces fill up quickly and there is often a waitlist. Please take time to consider your level of commitment before applying for aid. I require a high level of commitment from all my clients, especially those receiving financial aid that someone else could also benefit from. In rare cases, I offer single sessions at a reduced rate. You can cater the below questions to your situation. Please take the the time to explain:
1. What you would like to get out of this program?
2. How do you feel it will benefit you?
3. How will you be able to make the program a priority if you are granted financial aid?
Email me here to apply for Financial Assistance with your answers to the above questions.

I have been training for 20+ years in Somatic Healing, through my own practice of healing embodiment, yoga, meditation, mindfulness, and holding sacred space for others in groups and individually. As a Sensitive, this has always been intuitive for me. Right now I am also in a graduate level intensive for Healing Practitioners called Compassionate Inquiry, with supervision and weekly practice. For more information on my training and experience see my Bio.
As an Advocate to End Domestic Violence, Coach & Somatic Practitioner
I will always relate to you as the expert of your life, and bring consent into every aspect of our work together. Especially when you are struggling, you are in charge of your life and deserve to be treated that way. Even when it's hard to make decisions or know what is best for yourself, my role is to see, reflect back and help foster your internal guidance. My role is to help you develop your inner knowing, no matter how dim that sense may feel in the beginning.
As a Survivor & Wounded Healer
I am a wounded healer. We are all wounded healers. In my opinion, the safest ones among us are honest about that, and would not claim to be 'awake.' Nobody should claim to know more about you than you do.
As a survivor myself, I know too well the pain of giving my power away to others, letting others tell me what I need, or letting others control me. I know what it's like to come back from that, after years of abuse, needing to work harder than most people to be able to trust and validate myself over self-doubt. I walked through the trials of all the external noise claiming to be the truth, expert culture, self development exploitation, false teachers, and relationships with manipulative, aggressive and predatory people. My calling is to help you protect yourself and your path from someone else’s projection, arrogance, control or search for power. Or more common and benign, (especially after some time healing from abuse, or not having been the target for abuse) to support you in trusting yourself when something or someone is perfectly ok or well-meaning, just not helpful or resonant for you. My calling is to help you develop the skillset of trusting your TrueSelf as the one true expert of your life.
As a Sensitive
Anyone who follows my work knows I am passionate about creating community and belonging for those of us who relate to being highly sensitive. I use Sensitive as a broad umbrella term for HSPS (Highly Sensitive People), empaths, deep feelers and thinkers, old souls, wayshowers, wounded healers, and kindhearted, giving and gentle people. I am a Sensitive. It's my nature and life path to support us. We have unique challenges as well as unique gifts. We tend to be 'other' focused, often giving to the point it's at our expense, perhaps even codependent. Part of my work is helping you prioritize yourself, and create healthy and equal dynamics in all areas of your life. Having been raised in an aggressive world, many of us struggle with, judge, reject and fight against our sensitivity. I’ve been there. So a huge part of this program is helping you reframe your relationship to being a Sensitive, and come to appreciate who you are. I support you in making life choices that resonate with your unique needs and constitution.
As for being Spiritually-Inclined & Taking 100% Responsibility
As for being Spiritually inclined, I have been talking to God, my angels and guides since I was a kid. I am not religious. Spirituality is personal. Being Spiritually-Inclined does not mean you are religious, or ascribe to a certain set of beliefs, or even believe in a God. To me, it means you believe in some version of a Higher-Power whether it is love, your HigherSelf, oneness, kindness, seeing healing opportunity in life’s trials, God, Spirit, Mother Earth, etc. I work best with people who relate to being spiritual on some level.
I believe a huge part of my role is helping you see your true Essence underneath your human suffering. Everything you need is already inside of you. Just looking for improvements, changes, happiness, etc. on the outside causes perpetual suffering.
Right now, what you are going through is the perfect opportunity. It's you gateway home. I believe everything you've been through, are going through, is an opportunity to heal and come home to your TrueSelf. Then, your life experience becomes invaluable medicine and wisdom you can share with others.
Life is hard. But without finding your own deeper meaning, or taking responsibility on some level, it can lead to staying caught in victimhood. I am not talking about justifying the actions of a perpetrator, everyone deserves to be held accountable for their behavior. I am talking about seeing things from a higher and more integrated perspective. It's about taking responsibility for your human life here on earth, and seeing your trials as part of the destiny of your Soul. It can be easy to get lost in feeling endlessly victimized by life’s traumas. And honey, i've been there. As someone who's been spiritually-inclined my whole life, I’ve still struggled with getting lost in the view ‘life is happening to me’ or ‘I’m powerless.’ We all get upset about our circumstances and stuck inside negativity. That’s ok. It’s the human experience. Freedom is not staying there.
Working with me is agreeing to work with a practitioner who will not only deeply support your pain in the here and now, fully acknowledging and holding space for you to feel and express your hurt, but also holding space for your limitless TrueSelf who has big plans for you. I will help you trust in the exact unfolding of what's happening as your path forward, that there is a deeper love and alignment happening for you than you can possibly imagine. From this empowered place, I will support you in consciously responding to your challenges, including where you choose to take action for growth, healing and change.
Questions and Answers:
What is a Basic Session Like?
Each session is completely catered to you. It's offered in a heart centered, listening based approach. We identify your intentions in working together overall, as well as your preferences for how the session goes. Many people find grounding and somatic based work is a great place to start. It can provide relaxation, perspective, and a deeper place of clarity. From there, we talk about your main concern, discuss materials, your goals and intentions, and actions moving forward. Everyone is different. Some clients like spending extra time exploring the additional information and structure provided through the program modules. Other people prefer to have less structure. Instead they choose a more organic, intuitive, feelings based progression. There is no wrong or right way. Together we find what an ideal session, and forward progression, is for you.
Each session lasts between one hour and an hour and a half, combining somatic healing work and coaching. The length of session and the combination of modalities used are the client's preference.
What Exactly is Coaching and How is it different from Therapy?
Coaching is future and goal oriented. It is focused on creating positive outcomes and enhanced performance. The people who benefit most from Coaching are highly motivated and ready to take a deep and honest dive into creating their ideal life. It requires willingness, honesty, and courage to uncover what you really need. It requires being 100% committed to yourself, showing up, being coachable, and to the process itself. It's not always easy; growth and change can be scary sometimes. But it's incredibly rewarding to make progress where you crave it most. And, the process is always directed by you. You are in the driver’s seat, you decide the pace, focus, and can end the program at any time.
Coaching is not therapy. While it is a welcomed, safe place for difficult feelings, vulnerability and looking at the source of old limiting beliefs that keep you stuck, it is not to be used in place of a therapist or a clinical setting. Some clients also have a therapist, previously have had therapy, and/or don’t need a therapist at this time. If you have concerns about your mental health, mental stability, or about being triggered by the deep dive nature of Coaching and Somatic Healing, my suggestion is to table a Coaching program for now.
What Will I Get Out of 'The Keys To The Kingdom: Coaching and Somatic Healing Program'?
The Keys To The Kingdom Program is a commitment to come back to yourself. It is an invitation and safe space, to hear the current that is YOU, underneath everything else in your life. There are few places like this. My approach is heart centered, feeling focused, and embodied. I relate to you as the expert of your life. I help you build the skillset of hearing your True Self. It takes practice. By the end of the program you will have the tools and confidence to live from your Essence.
I support you in self discovery and making meaningful, lasting change. Being able to coach yourself is a skillset you can learn. With my assistance, you make a vision of what is calling you. This vision becomes your compass. Over the next 10 Sessions, you build confidence and experience in how to best move toward your vision; identifying and prioritizing your needs, setting goals, taking action, and pulling in new resources and support as you grow. New challenges never stop. But by the end of program, you will have a solid foundation. You realize through practice, support and refocus, YOU ARE YOUR OWN COACH AND HEALER.
What if I still want to work with you when the program is over?
Great question. Many clients like to keep working together when they've completed their program. We've built a deep and meaningful professional relationship in the course of the program, and it can be beneficial to have that continued support over time, for as long as it serves you. I offer a reduced graduate rate for clients to make long term coaching more accessible. I can do this by forgoing the additional structures the original program included. Our graduate work together is done entirely 'in session'. We come up with a new routine in how often you'd like to meet, booking session to session with no commitment.
I want more information. Do you offer a free hour long consultation?
I am happy to provide more information over email or schedule a short phone call to see if working together is a match. I do not provide free hour long consultations at this time. I do provide single sessions, and that is another great way to see if the program may be for you. Email me here for more information.
Do you offer Single Sessions?
Yes. We explore your current main concern in our session together. I combine Somatic Healing and Coaching through the same listening based, heart centered approach consistent in my program. These stand alone sessions do not require a commitment or include the structure and materials built into the full program. Single Sessions are $300 for up to an hour and a half. Email me here to book a session.
Do You offer financial aid, a sliding scale or reduced rate?
I am able to offer financial aid to a few people a year through a reduced rate. Rates for the program are up to 50% off. These spaces fill up quickly and there is often a waitlist. Please take time to consider your level of commitment before applying for aid. I require a high level of commitment from all my clients, especially those receiving financial aid that someone else could also benefit from. In rare cases, I offer single sessions at a reduced rate. You can cater the below questions to your situation. Please take the the time to explain:
1. What you would like to get out of this program?
2. How do you feel it will benefit you?
3. How will you be able to make the program a priority if you are granted financial aid?
Email me here to apply for Financial Assistance with your answers to the above questions.
