Life Transition Coaching

SO, WHAT IS COACHING?

It’s probably safe to say that all of us are in transition in some area of our lives at any given time. Even if the changes are positive, they can still be stressful and throw us off balance. Whether it’s work-related, or involving our intimate relationships, homes, or families, it helps to have a partner to help us sort things out, to brainstorm with and to formulate a plan of action.

Coaching is a powerful process designed to support and develop anyone who’s in transition (or who wants to be!) and wants to get to make it a truly transformative process. You want to move through those times with more awareness and focus, less stress and confusion, a stronger commitment to extreme self-care, and maintaining a deep connection to the your own inner wisdom. Coaching synthesizes the best from psychology, business, transformation philosophy, spirituality and finance. It's for entrepreneurs who want to improve some aspect of their business, writers who want to find time to write, or professionals who want to find a healthy balance between their business and personal lives. Coaching works because you and your coach become a team and accomplish more than you would alone. You're likely to think bigger and accomplish more because of the accountability that meeting with your coach provides.

As a client of mine put it once, having a coach is like having your own personal Tinkerbell -- to shine a light when the path is rocky, sit on your shoulder and cheer you on when things are great, tweak your ear when you fall asleep, and kick you in the head (gently!) when you're stuck or too hard on yourself. I’ve always loved that image… all 5’11” of me, with wings, flitting around encouraging you(!), but more importantly because it really does capture the multi-faceted benefits of coaching. If it intrigues you, too, then let’s look at some of the different ways we can work together.

SPIRITED LIFE AND RELATIONSHIP COACHING

I offer a range of different coaching modalities, from structured programs to more organic, intuitive methods. If you’re someone who likes having a workbook with specific exercises to focus on each week, definitely check out some of the Special Coaching Programs outlined below. .

If you’re looking for a more fluid approach to addressing goals and intentions in your personal and/or professional lives, we can do that as well. We begin by identifying those key areas of your life that you want to take action on, but haven’t for some reason. Then, in our weekly conversations, we review what you’ve accomplished and what actions you’re committed to taking to move yourself forward. And woven through the whole process is a real emphasis on maintaining a conscious routine of what I call “radical self care” – honoring all aspects of our SELVES… mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually.

Typically, this type of individual coaching is over the telephone, once a week, two or three times a month, with an initial commitment of 3 months. After you complete a comprehensive Coaching Welcome Packet, we begin with a one-hour orientation conversation (for a one-time fee of $150, and in-person, if you’re local), then move into the coaching “package” of your choice. Email feedback and "Coach on Call" (5-10 minute calls) between scheduled calls are also included in the monthly retainer, which ranges from $300-$600, depending on which of the following packages you choose:

COACHING PACKAGES

3 Coaching calls/sessions per month

2 Coaching calls/sessions per month

SPECIAL COACHING PROGRAMS

“Now What? 90 Days to a New Life Direction” Program
Are you ready for a life-changing move but not sure what exactly you want to do or how to move forward? This program is based on the book with the same title by Laura Berman Fortgang, well-known coach, author and speaker. I'm one of her four Senior Trainers and would love to guide YOU through this powerful new model, a structured, insight-producing process designed to help people chart a new course for their lives and work.

Typically, you’ll enroll in the online workbook system to guide you through the process (or a one-time fee of $30) and we work through the 12 weekly exercises in one-on-one coaching sessions using one of the above packages… you choose how quickly you want to go. By the end of the program, you’ll have a clearer idea of what’s next for you!

Wise Woman Leadership
My friend and colleague, Cassi Christiansen developed this spiritually-based, whole person leadership program for women and I LOVE it! It's designed to be a 9 month journey, divided into three trimesters: Discovering, Owning and Unleashing the Wise Woman within. Each trimester includes 12 weekly lessons, and there is a creative element as well: you will be called to bring something into the world. It could be a new profession, a business, a volunteer project, a book, or even a child. The focus is not on what you actually choose, but rather on the journey you take to make the choice. You also have the option of enrolling in the Wise Woman International Community Calls which consist of two 1-hour calls per month.

You’ll purchase a beautiful, comprehensive manual (for a one-time cost of $300), then we schedule 2 individual, one-hour calls each month for a monthly coaching fee of $400 for 9 months. I'd love to tell you more about it... just call or email and I'll give you the details!

Relationship Coaching for Singles (ReSTS Program) and Couples (PIL Program)
I offer the ReSTS program in "live" classes in New York City, or individually on the telephone through one of the above coaching packages. The PIL program is just offered for individual couples, either in person or on the phone. Click here for more information about both programs. Or, for even more resources, you can access The Relationship Coaching Institute directly at: www.RelationshipCoachingInstitute.com.

WomanSpirit Coaching
Ongoing programs are available for women who wish to deepen their personal spiritual exploration, their connection to the Divine Feminine and to the cycles of the Earth and the Moon. The Sister-Circle Weavers Program is a year-long journey that I developed and have been facilitating since 2000. It includes one "live" group meeting each month when we discuss a wide range of women’s spirituality topics, and the opportunity to co-create and facilitate three New Moon circles over the course of the year. A TeleClass version of the program is available as well. The Weavers curriculum can also be done in an individual coaching format in monthly one-hour sessions either over the phone or in person. Click here for more information.

Astro-Ritual Coaching
Coaching is available in person or over the phone. We talk once a month for an hour, exploring how the movement of the cosmos highlights your personal birth chart, then create simple, powerful rituals to best utilize those energies. A perfect way to learn more about astrology and how to incorporate transformative ritual into your life!
