Why do I coach?

As a coach, I listen with my full body. I pay attention to what’s arising. I become a conduit for supporting the client on his/her journey of Self-expression.

I see this as applied mindfulness. Holding space with my Presence. And having faith that what is True, Beautiful and Helpful will flow forth from this sacred space between the client and the coach.

Feeling acceptance within a group, and openly contributing to the group’s well-being.
A source of peak experience for me is when groups come together with open hearts (vulnerability) and support one another.
I love it when I get to explore a new city on my own – walking the streets, looking at how people lead their daily lives, visiting the markets.
I love it when we go for expeditions, hiking and camping in mother nature – being fully immersed in the experience.
While we hold the space, we have no idea what may emerge from deep within the client.
Often, the message that emerges is a caring one, filled with kindness and wisdom.
There is a broader arc around the continued unfolding of the client’s life journey.
