Maybe you're feeling overwhelmed. Maybe you've been putting everyone else first and aren't quite sure where you fit into your own life anymore. Or maybe things are going pretty well but you know there's room to feel more grounded, present, at peace and connected with yourself.
That's where mindfulness coaching comes in.
Whether you're a student, young adult navigating new independence and academic transitions, or an adult balancing life's shifts, My approach is client-led, personal, practical and centered around you. There's no perfect way to practice mindfulness and there certainly isn't a one-size-fits-all plan. We'll start with where you are, talk about what's been weighing on you and figure out what you'd like to change or work toward. From there, we'll explore mindfulness practices and simple tools that make sense for your life.
Whether you're brand new to mindfulness or you've been meditating for years, we'll build from what you already know and find practices that feel realistic, useful and meaningful to you that will help guide you through you're journey towards inner healing and personal growth!
Think of your first session as a starting point, not a test you need to prepare for.
We'll talk about what's going on in your life, the areas where you'd like a little more support and what you're hoping to get out of coaching. Whether we are focusing on building sustainable daily routines for school and independence or finding calm amidst everyday adult responsibilities, we will discuss any experiences you already have had with mindfulness. From there, we'll choose a goal to work toward and create an action plan together. We'll explore tools that may be helpful for you that you can incorporate into your everyday life to help you manage stress, stay grounded and to help you feel an overall more positive sense of self. As we continue working together, your goals can change, your needs can change and your practice can change too. That's okay! This is your journey and the coaching should grow with you.
