Life Coaching
Life coaching is the practice of assisting people in clarifying and moving forward on personal and professional goals in their lives. Coaches use various methods of questioning and suggesting new perspectives to assist clients in reaching their goals. Coaches are not licensed therapists or consultants and, therefore, do not provide diagnosis or treatment.

How do we work together?
The coach and client are peers who both play an active role in the coaching process. As your coach, I will listen, ask questions, act as a sounding board and present new perspectives and options. If I pick up on clues to underlying thoughts in your voice or language, I’ll ask you about them. Often, it is the small insights that bring about big shifts in thinking. In this way, I will support you in finding and fostering your own solutions under the premise that you know what is best for you.
As a client, you will present a topic to discuss and explore new solutions. You will notice, with an open mind, what has heartfelt meaning in the conversation. With the guidance of your coach, you will empower yourself to make positive choices and take dynamic actions to achieve your goals.
To explore deeper using Gestalt methods, you and your coach can work together to identify unfinished business that is causing you pain or blocking your path. Through experiential exploration, your coach will guide you in clearing the blocks that have been standing in the way of your success and happiness.
Coaching with Horses
Horses partner with your coach to help you identify and heal unfinished business that is standing in the way of your wellbeing. Together they assist you in clearing whatever has been blocking your path. The horses’ prey mentality makes them very aware of the mood and intentions of those around them. You do not have to be an experienced horse person or know how to ride to benefit from equine coaching.
