Health and Wellness, Living with Cancer, Retirement and End-Of-Life Coaching

"Health and Wellness" covers a lot of ground.  To make it simpler, just remember that you only have one body, and everything that you do has an impact on that body.  I can work with you to identify and overcome the barriers that can prevent you from living the greatest life possible--barriers that can be physical, spiritual or emotional. We can focus on weight loss, increased exercise or even stress reduction. We will work together to be sure that you body works well and feels well, and that you live a healthy, spiritually fulfilled and meaningful life.

There are many frightening things that can happen in life.  At, or near, the top of the list is receiving a diagnosis of cancer-whatever the type and prognosis. Often, the reaction is fear, uncertainty and confusion. There are many decisions to be made, and the impact of a cancer diagnosis is felt in all areas of a person's life.

Questions such as, "What do I do now?" and, "How will this affect my family and friends?" and, "Why are people treating me so differently?, or even, "How do I deal with people who keep giving me their latest 'cure'?" naturally arise. Having someone to come alongside you and help you to answer these, and other, questions, and to help you decide on the path you want to take in the future, can make the journey ahead more focused, less frightening and can help you take charge of your life and treatment.

I can help you (and you family) during this difficult time.  Through our work together, you will decide on the path you will take as you face the future.  We can work together to take the fear and uncertainty out of the time ahead, and can help you take charge of the treatments and decisions that you will face. At the same time, we can work together on the changes in relationships that cancer can cause, and you can choose to live a focused, fulfilled and healthy life.

Retirement brings many changes to a person's life.  How you feel about, and choose to face those changes, will determine what kind of a life you will lead as you journey though this new phase of life.  We can address issues of health and wellness, spiritual fulfillment, purpose, meaning, relationships and anything else that could be a barrier to you living as confidently and purposefully as possible in retirement

What Is This Coaching Thing All About, Anyway?

Think of coaching in terms of "ABCD."  A coach helps you first figure out where you Are in a number of important areas of life.  Then, a coach will work with you to decide where you are Bound-what your goals are in your life.  Next comes the process of Charting your course to get you where you want to go.  Finally, a coach will work with you in an on-going relationship to help you live a life that is accountable to your Dream.
