 Coaching

Coaching services utilize knowledge of human behavior, motivation and behavioral change, and interactive coaching techniques. 

 The focus of coaching and yoga coaching is development and implementation of strategies to reach client-identified goals, including increased mobility, stress reduction, life satisfaction, and enhanced sport performance.  We will utilize movement practices such as fitness or yoga training to enhance well being.

 You, the client, set the agenda and the success of our work together depends on your willingness to take risks and try new approaches to your concerns. You can count on me to be honest and straightforward, asking questions and using sometimes challenging techniques to assist you to move forward. I will hold space for you to feel and think in a way that understanding, insight, and creative problem solving may be achieved. You are expected to evaluate progress and when services feel like it is not working as you wish, you should immediately inform me so we can both take steps to correct the problem.
