What exactly is coaching?

A life coach helps your bridge the gap between where you are now and where you want to be. Using "the bridge metaphor," a life coach helps you to clarify your goals, desires, and values as you cross. A life coach also encourages you to pay attention to who you are becoming as you journey.  ​

When might you need some coaching?

There are many situations that bring a person to a life coach.
​Below you will find 4 common ones where a life coach can make a difference in your life.

Feeling Stuck or Unclear

You're pondering a decision that is meaningful for you.
Should I go back to school?
Should I say 'yes' to this relationship?
Should I move? 
Should I change jobs?
Should I stay? Should I leave?
Should I ask for what I want?

There are so many questions and often when we are stuck, working with life coach can help bring in more clarity.

Working with me, we would explore how to bring more clarity into your life by:
mining for your deepest values
strengthening your internal guidance system
using pleasure as a compass 
building awareness around your inner saboteurs
developing rituals that invite clarity
​

Experiencing a Life Transition

Here, the decision has been made. 
Marriage. Divorce. Moving. Changing Jobs. Starting School. Finishing School. Caring for a Loved One. Changing Your Health Lifestyle.  Being Diagnosed with an Illness. Recovering from an Illness. Retiring. Going Back into the Workforce.

​There are so many moments where we are concluding one chapter in our lives and moving to a new one. There's a blank page between the two. We can work together to consciously honor the chapter (or book) that is completing, while intentionally designing what's to come in the next part of your life story. 

When there are life transitions, we go through a change in our own narratives.
Here you can get coached on:
honoring the change
creating space to envision what's next
intentionally taking action from a resonant perspective

When Things are Great and You Want to Take Yourself Higher

You just got promoted.
You're engaged.
You're moving into the place of your dreams.
You reached your goal weight. 
You got into a program/university that you wanted.

These are all peak moments where we are excited because we are getting exactly what we want.

So, imagine a sports team that just won a championship.
Once a sports team becomes number one, the sports coach doesn't go on vacation for the year. Neither does the team! They still train to stay at the top! 

Working together, we train to heighten your success.
This includes being coached on:
​
How to amplify your joy.
How to set higher dreams from this vantage point. 
How to ritualize celebrating yourself (and often)
How to use your pleasure and curiosity as your inner compass
How to get enthused about investing in yourself in ways that connect you with the wholeness of who you are 

Relationship Conflict or Change

Looking at all the previous reasons people often come to coaching, this one is a really common one. Unless you plan to live as a lone monk deep into the mountains, it's likely your decision, transitions, your goals and desires will involve people. 

People often seek coaching because there is something they want more of (or less of) and this often involves or impacts the relationships around us. 

Are you unsure if you should stay in your current relationship?
Do you want more intimacy in your life?
Are you good at asking for what you want?
Do you know your desires for the important relationships in your life?
How do you add value to all your encounters?

These questions (and more) we explore in the context of relationships - remembering that we are constantly in relationship to something (a person, ourselves, our money, our time, our energy, etc.)

So whether this is a friendship, partnership, family, or professional relationship that you desire change from or are experiencing a challenge, together we can co-create the best relationship possible, with YOU as the active change.

Relationship coaching with me involves:
learning about the Third Entity™  (an ORSC tool)
 enhancing positive encounters in your relationships
De-activating your triggers, Learning what breaks communication down
becoming educated about Roles and their impacts on relationships
Becoming aware of your high / low dreams in relationship

What Clients Say

"​Heather is a wonderful coach. She is wise, intuitive, kind, funny, and patient. She listens with an open heart, cheers and celebrates alongside you, provides sensitive guidance, and holds positive, encouraging space for you that allows you to open. In my life, Heather has made magic. I think of my life as pre-Heather and post-Heather! On the other side of our summer coaching experience, I feel new upwellings of clarity, celebration, and relief. And I also have come away with tools and inspiration to continue expanding. I know that she will ignite and transform many lives in her coaching career, and I encourage yours to be one!" -Laura King

"I didn't think I was going to open up. Heather made me think a lot outside of my boxes. " - Wenkai Tan
