What is Coaching?
Coaching discovers your obstacles and challenges while examining your personal and environmental conditions. We focus on what is happening currently, where you want to go, and how to bridge the gap to achieve your goals. Coaching is about identifying personal obstacles, assisting and providing motivation, while pinpointing specific resistance to change. Together we choose the right methods for a deeper understanding, and to bring back empowerment to live a more fulfilling life. Our Life Coaching, 5 Elements Evaluation & Spiritual Direction sessions are also available virtually for your convenience.

+ inner child work
Inner child work is a profound and transformative therapeutic approach that focuses on healing and nurturing the wounded aspects of our inner child—the younger, vulnerable self that resides within us all. This inner child holds the memories, emotions, and beliefs from our formative years, often shaped by early experiences, relationships, and traumas.
Engaging in inner child work involves acknowledging, validating, and addressing the unmet needs, pain, and unresolved emotions of our younger selves. Through various therapeutic techniques such as visualization, dialogue, journaling, and somatic practices, individuals can reconnect with their inner child, providing comfort, support, and healing.
Overall, inner child work offers a profound journey of self-discovery, healing, and transformation, leading to greater authenticity, resilience, and inner peace
