Life Coaching

What is Life Coaching?

Life coaching is a chance to step back from your life, assess how things are going and make changes that are important to you. When you work with me, we use research-based processes and tools to clarify and reconnect with your values, identify how you want to spend your time, who you want to spend it with, and any major changes you want to make in order to live in a way that is satisfying to you. Life coaching is a commitment to yourself. 

Life coaching with me is…

A partnership. We work together to identify your goals and create strategies to achieve them.

Client focused. You are the expert on your life. We base our work on what is most important to you. I bring expertise in how change works. Together we devise strategies that are consistent with your values and your reality.

Strengths based. I’ll ask you to complete an assessment to identify your top strengths and to share stories about when you were at your best. We’ll leverage your strengths and insight from times when you’ve succeeded to help you be at your best.

Integrative. We start by taking a look at your whole life. Relationships and communication. Meaning and purpose. Movement. Rest. Nutrition. Personal and professional development. Physical environment. Mind-body connection. We design change in the context of your life. We are aspirational and grounded in reality.

Meaningful. Setting aside a few hours to assess how things are going in your life - to understand where you are now and identify where you want to go - is a game changer. I help you break things down, strategize, and stay on track. One of the outcomes I see over and over is my clients' increased confidence in their own strengths and abilities. 

Flexible. We assume that there will be set backs. Even some failures along the way. We learn from them together. We let go of strategies that don’t work, and find the ones that do. 

Fun. We are exploring what’s possible - and going for it! My clients are funny, insightful, and creative. Every session is an adventure, and though a few tears may get shed, we often share a laugh.

My approach
I base my work on the best research and tools available to guide you through the change process. I draw on my training in positive psychology life coaching through Wholebeing Institute and as a certified integrative health coach through Duke Integrative Medicine. I combine tools from these evidence-based, innovative leaders in coach training with my life experiences and past work in international business, journalism and wellness in Paris, London, Tokyo and Montclair, New Jersey.
