My Coaching Philosophy

​

Coaching is one of the most intimate relationships you can hope to have with another person. It's important to know what's in your coach's heart, and to have a sense of their aims regarding you during the coaching engagement. Trust builds from a sensed of shared values.

​

This is my heart. Here’s what lights my fire about coaching.

Everything Wants to Become Gold

​

My aim is to help people consciously individuate — to become who they are truly meant to be. That means:

​

  • Connecting with your inner knowing
     

  • Coming into relationship with your unconscious
     

  • Living in resonance with your values and life choices
     

  • Aligning with your own authenticity and meaning
     

Coaching, to me, is not about giving advice or telling you what to do. It’s about supporting a process that awakens your awareness, creativity, and resourcefulness. You are naturally whole — and my role is to help you listen deeply to the Self that’s yearning to be expressed.

 

The Coaching Dance

Coaching is co-created. Together, we’ll ask questions like:

​

  • What is it you really want?
     

  • How might you get there?
     

  • What will keep the magick alive?
     

The process is like a dance: sometimes we step on each other’s toes, but with trust and honesty, we keep spiraling forward. In this alchemical space — a container I think of as an alembic — your voice is amplified, your dreams are invited, and your wholeness is welcomed.

 

Shadow, Strength, and Soul

Coaching can be tender. We may speak of disappointments, lost dreams, or the gap between where you are and where you long to be. Vulnerability is part of the journey — and paradoxically, it’s where your strength lies. By facing your shadows, you discover the resources and imagination to move beyond them.

​

This is why I call coaching an alchemical process. It awakens imagination, and sometimes even summons “angels” of guidance and possibility. It’s not mystical for the sake of mysticism — it’s simply what happens when boldness, imagination, and trust come together.

​

As Goethe reminds us: “Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.”

 

The Benefits of Coaching

Research shows 96% of clients are “more than satisfied” with coaching. My belief? It’s because coaching is one of the rare spaces where you can drop all pretenses and be wholly yourself.

​

Through our work, clients often experience:

​

  • More joy, delight, and fulfillment
     

  • Clarity about values and the confidence to honor them
     

  • A stronger sense of agency and self-trust
     

  • Greater creativity, intuition, and inner wisdom
     

  • Deeper, more rewarding relationships
     

  • An expanded sense of meaning, purpose, and beauty
     

  • A closer, more intimate relationship with their soul
     

 

✨ Coaching is where imagination, transformation, and your deepest truth meet.
It’s where the gold of who you are is revealed.
