Life Coaching

Transformational life coaching with a holistic mindful approach: 

For life & career transitions, personal growth & transformation

 

Helping you create and live a more balanced and authentic life, in alignment with your own unique values, strengths, goals and dreams. 

Are you navigating a life or career transition and ready to make a change?

Would you like more balance, meaning or purpose in your life or work?

Are you feeling stuck, blocked, resistant to change, or unclear about the path forward?

Do you need new clarity, perspective, tools and support to help you reach your dreams or goals?

 

Welcome! As a transformation life coach, I can help you through a life change, career transition or inner transformation to create a more balanced and satisfying life that feels authentic and aligned with your purpose.

Through coaching we uncover your desire or goal, clear and heal what is in the way, empower you to create a vision and take inspired action towards your next steps or life chapter.

My holistic approach includes positive psychology, mindset, mindfulness, energy balance techniques, visioning, and aligned inspired action.

I can help you reconnect with your true desires, create a new vision for yourself and your life and make the necessary shifts to move forward.

In Chinese Medicine this is called “living your Tao”, which means living in integrity, honoring your true self, and living your purpose. Taoist theory teaches us the seeds for our unfolding are already within us, and that life provides a curriculum for us to discover it.

I help my clients re-discover the seeds of their potential, nurture them, bloom where they are, and grow in the direction of their soul’s desire.

The Transformational Coaching Process

Change is NOT a linear path, but an unfolding process of gaining clarity so that any new action you take is in alignment with your true self and desires. 

Clarity & Vision
Coaching helps you get clear on your vision and create a road map for your journey. By listening to your truth, and reconnecting with your values, talents, strengths and passions you will see your life vision, goals and dreams more clearly. 

Inner Work
Coaching helps you do the inner work so your intentions and actions are in alignment. Through clearing any blocks or resistance to growth and taming your inner gremlins, you gain new perspectives and insights. You begin to access and trust your inner compass, wisdom and intuition. You will cultivate the courage, confidence and curiosity to find creative solutions. 

Take Inspired Action
Coaching helps you take action and create the life changes you desire. You will journey towards your new life, while living more mindfully in the now. You will make powerful choices and take new actions which give you feedback and insight. You’ll be supported to take risks and face fears while you explore options and create impactful changes. You will find your flow, shine your light and have a positive impact on the world by living your purpose and living in alignment with your true self.  

Navigating change with a life coach

I love to support people through change, transitions and transformation. There is so much potential energy available during periods of change, and the choices made made during these times can have a big impact on our health and happiness. 

As a transitions coach, I’m trained to recognize the stages of change, the challenges and opportunities at each stage, and provide support, guidance and tools for navigating the journey. During the dark or “winter” phase of change, it can hard to see what is possible. As a coach, I can help you navigate through the darkness to find clarity. I can help you nourish your personal and spiritual growth throughout the process.

During times of transformation you may shed old ways of being, perspectives, habits, situations, or people from your life to make room for the new. You might need more time and space to tend to your inner process. Your values and goals might shift. As a transformation coach, I can support you to make changes that will help you live in alignment with your authentic self and your unique purpose. You will be guided through the s/hero’s journey or butterfly chrysalis process with an experienced compassionate touch. 

 

“May I have the courage today to live the life that I would love, To postpone my dream no longer, But do at last what I came here for, And waste my heart on fear no more.”  – John O’Donohue

What Is Transformational Life Coaching?

Transformational Life coaching is 1:1 process that supports you in reaching your personal, professional, creative or life goals. Life coaching helps you build a bridge from where you are now to where you want to be. Coaching inspires you to be and do things differently so that you can experience more of what you want in life.  While getting clear, doing inner work and taking new action you will be supported and challenged to grow and create positive shifts in your life. 

 

What Happens In Life Coaching Sessions?

Life coaching involves a lot of open and honest conversation. I create a safe and welcoming relationship to explore your thoughts, beliefs, emotions, habits and actions that you can shift to make positive changes in your life. We creatively explore using conversation, visualizations, mindfulness, writing exercises, assessments, creative work, personal rituals and much more. You can learn skills and tools to better manage your stress, boundaries, priorities, life balance, and goals. In between sessions you have the option to continue your growth process with homework reflections, writing, reading, or action steps.

Testimonials

“I started coaching with Lisa because I was transitioning out of a job that had taken over my life and depleted me physically and psychologically. This wasn’t as simple as finding a new career. I wanted to break an unhappy cycle of making decisions driven by fear and social conformity in order to better align myself with my core values and live a more authentic life. In order to do this, I needed an outside perspective to help me reconnect with these values. Lisa served as a gentle guide and sounding board throughout this process, providing a fresh, objective eye on blind spots I hadn’t realized I had and mental/emotional road blocks that prevented me from making substantive change in my life.
 
She approached our conversations with a light touch, asking questions rather than providing heavy-handed advice. She also outlined a clear roadmap, hammering out key agenda items for us to work on together. The exercises she provided in between meetings were a wonderful complement to our conversations, helping me better organize my thoughts and feelings, and directing me towards practical approaches to making substantive change.
 
Ultimately, I was able to reconnect with those values that are most important to me, and see that by making decisions and steps according to those values (and not in opposition to them) I am closer to living the life I desire. I continue to carry the lessons I learned with Lisa in my life today and find our coaching sessions one of the more valuable experiences I’ve had in quite some time. I’d recommend Lisa without reservation.” ~Lenore
“Coaching with Lisa helped me trust my process and take some necessary risks. Some wonderful surprises have since come into my life professionally, and I am excited about continuing to move in this direction!” ~N.M.

“Because of coaching, I am creating a life that includes meaningful work but at a pace that allows for a richer life all around.” ~ Norah

“Those who progress along the transformational path become more intuitive and creative when facing problems of daily living; they seem to find solutions with greater ease than do others, and they feel the impulses of inspiration more frequently. There is more energy available, as well as a greater joy, peace, vitality and connection with others and the natural world.” -Leon VanderPol
