Work With Me 1:1
The common thread of all my practices is to be in presence with you while you are in presence with yourself. This process allows you to reconnect to the wisdom of your own body— the ancient and essential part of you that “knows” without thinking.
“Knowing” without thinking is a superpower. Every session with me is like going to the gym or practicing a musical instrument, an opportunity for you to strengthen your trust in your “knowing.” Paradoxically, the sessions also give you the opportunity to strengthen your trust in “not knowing”—practice being in the discomfort of moving forward step by step without having “an answer.” As you deepen your connection with the intuitive wisdom of the body, you find your authentic Self, the essence of who you are.
And that’s where you find the juice of life, the vitality that we all yearn for as human beings.
...[T]here is an authentic self that’s got nothing to do with your life history. You can lose contact with it, but you can never destroy it…it’s always been there.”
— Gabor Maté
1:1 Coaching with Gabor Maté’s Compassionate Inquiry Approach
(Online or In Person)
Each of us is born in full connection with who we are and everything we are feeling. But over the course of our lives, we learn to disconnect from our true nature in order to fit in and survive. Unfortunately, disconnecting from who we are is a terribly painful way to live. I know it from having lived this way myself, and it’s why I offer Gabor Maté’s Compassionate Inquiry approach to coaching.
It’s not the kind of coaching where you “fix the problem” by defining a clear set of goals and the necessary steps to achieve them. That never worked for me. Even after following all my coaches’ prescriptions, I ended up in a life that didn’t fit who I was. So I’m definitely not going to pressure you by asking if you’ve achieved goal #2 or finished step #3.
You can’t get this wrong because there’s nothing wrong with you.
The coaching I do works from the inside out. My intention is to guide you gently back into connection with all of yourself. This happens first by giving you agency to choose what you want to explore in the session and how deep you want to go. Then, we work in an interactive process of inquiry that includes inviting you to notice what is happening in your body—sensations, impulses, emotions, thoughts—and the meaning you assign to them.
This process allows you to become aware of unconscious beliefs lodged deep in your autonomic nervous system. Knowing the truth of how and why you had to disconnect from yourself opens the path to reconnecting to your essential self without needing to “get rid” of any “bad” habit or “unwanted” behaviors. Instead, it is a process of seeing, understanding, and even appreciating the strategies that you developed in childhood for protection and survival, but that no longer serve. Once those strategies stop driving you unconsciously, you can choose to live in your authenticity—in the health, vitality, creativity, confidence, and clarity that is the real YOU.
