Simply speaking, Life Coaching is about raising awareness of how we can move from A to B. Sometimes we don't know what place B is, and we can use Coaching to gain clarity on what B looks and feels like. Life Coaching is non-directive, which means as a Coach, I help you to unlock your potential rather than tell you what to do. The experience creates a space for accountability and motivation to take positive action. ​ My role as your Holistic Coach is to provide you with a safe space for you to ground, explore & embrace your emotions, claim your personal power to design & live your dream life.
