One-on-One Coaching

My coaching career started in 2005 as a compliment to the work that I do at my health and wellness studio. My primary focus within my land-based business is a manual therapy technique called Muscle Activation Techniques, which allows me to restore neurological communication to inhibited muscles. The reason why coaching became so important was I could see how stress affected someone neurologically, contributing to their physical pain. I could literally see their nervous system reacting to stress in real-time and wanted a way to help people change the way they were interpreting the events that were causing them stress. 

Having also offered personal training at our studio I saw the implications of changing the way someone deals with stress and their ability to transform their body and health. If they don't change the underlying causes of their body gaining weight and being unhealthy then exercise and diet has a very small percentage of long-term success (around 7% long-term success). The outside payoffs (food, alcohol/drugs, sex, TV, etc.) to feel better from their unresolved stresses and triggers were often greater than payoff of changing their body and health. So my initial aim at coaching was to help people change the stress to improve their health.

My coaching process was largely based on dismantling the belief systems that were causing emotional reactions and then creating a new way of interpreting the truth behind the language we use while recontextualizing the stories that we have been unconsciously and subconsciously living by. This led to the creation of totalmindfit.com as an interactive, step-by-step, self-coaching process where someone can take themselves through an entire coaching process at the their leisure. 

As powerful as that work was (and still is) I continued to challenge myself in deeper and deeper ways to get to underlying sources of some of MY OWN self sabotaging behaviors. What that has led me to is a deeper investigation of the organic, vibrational programs that seem to be at the source of most of our thinking. We can change our thinking and that can be powerful but when we get to the source of the energy behind the thinking and transform there the changes are deep and long-lasting. 

I've come to realize that we can't fix ourselves solely with the mind. The mind is a powerful tool but unless we get out of our own way with the deeper problems those problems will continue to effect the way we see the world and how we get triggered. And we can't do the work alone! We need help! Sometimes it's just another perspective that allows us a new entry point to our own healing. 

If we leave the our emotional triggers unresolved we will continue to try to control and manipulate the outside world to get what we think (unconscious payoffs) we need from the outside world, which is safety, security, love, or significance. 

The work I do now, through one-on-one phone sessions or through email coaching, is simply aimed at providing a voice and being a guide for your own spiritual process. Sometimes that's using coaching tools and others is offering insights and perspectives to contemplate. Or it could just be teaching you new tools to use in your own spiritual practice to go deeper with your work. 

We all have access to deeper wisdom and healing and it is my aim to help you discover that for yourself. Until you are able to fully tap into your own truth it is helpful to have help and guidance, just as I have had from those who had traveled the path before me. 

There are two options with working with me:

• One-on-one coaching sessions via phone or video chat. I do half and hour sessions.

• Email coaching where I answer your questions within 24 hours. I do this as a monthly, weekly, or one-time service.
