Relationship Coaching encompasses all aspects of our relationships with other people including ourselves. Coaches are not counselors, advisors, consultants, therapists, psychiatrists and psychologists. Coaches do not provide answers.  We simply uncover old worn out views that no longer serve us by effective questioning.  Coaches open the doors to new opportunities and possibilities in all aspects of life including relationships. Coaching enables people to make effective decisions at crucial points in their life while maintaining balance in the six key areas which include healthy relationsihps, a fulfilling professional life, adequate finances, health/wellness matters, emotional security and spiritual growth.

Difficult times often require us to change.  My clients can expect to develop a deeper understanding of themselves and the people in their lives.  This will lead to open communication and a sense of connection you never imagined possible.

Having a coach cheering you on from the sidelines is the single largest gift you can give yourself and the rest of the world.  The dividends pay off for the rest of your life.

• Is your peace of mind worth it?
• Is your marriage worth it?
• Are you children worth it?
• Are your friends worth it?

Singles, couples, divorce, parenting, conflict management and communication coaching are some of the specialized areas within relationship coaching.

Self Esteem Coaching focuses on personal development, empowering people, motivation, stress management, and recovery from addictive behavior or abuse.

Through my life experience I have been able to effectively manage self esteem issues.  The most powerful investment we can make in life is an investment in ourselves.  Even taking 10 minutes a day for self care has boundless rewards attached.  It is the one tool available to all of us to help deal with life's ups and downs, allowing us to contribute to life more effectively.

Bereavement Coaching helps people manage grief in whatever form loss occurs.  It could be in the form of the death of a family member or friend.  It could be in the form of loss of your job or home. Grief coaching allows the individual to see through the obstacles of true healing in a timely, logical manner.

I have always been interested in the process of grief.  Especially in families that lose members at an early age.  Life does not always deal fair cards and forces hard questions on the existence of God. Coaching helps free your heart from hate and self pity.  It allows you to fill your life with love and scatter sunshine among the living.
