What is Life Coaching?
“… coaching is not about solving problems, although problems will be solved. It is not primarily about improving performance, attaining goals, or achieving results, although all of that will certainly happen over time in an effective co-active coaching relationship. We believe that coaching is chiefly about discovery, awareness, and choice. It is a way of effectively empowering people to find their own answers, encouraging and supporting them on the path as they continue to make important choices.”
I haven't found a better explanation of life coaching than that quote from Co-Active Coaching by Henry Kimsey-House, Phillip Sandhal and Laura Whitworth. Coaching isn't an outcome, but a process. And during this process, we both will change. Helping you discover yourself helps me discover more about myself. Healing you heals parts of me, too.
Coaches tend to pick a niche—career advice, health and fitness, financial planning. My niche? Spiritual life coaching, which is really about helping people navigate life’s big transitions and identity crises without losing their minds:
Marriage or divorce (the paperwork alone deserves a support group)
Empty nests (congrats, you survived raising humans—now what?)
Career shifts or job loss (yes, crying under the duvet is a valid step)
Sexuality or gender discoveries (because being yourself shouldn’t feel like rocket science)
This is a safe space where you can unpack what’s going on in your life—no judgment, no pressure, just honest conversations. I’m especially here for women and LGBTQIA+ folks, because let’s face it, life throws enough curveballs already.
If you’re curious about spiritual life coaching, book a free 15-minute discovery session. It's a no-pressure chat to see if we click - and if nothing else, you'll have a friendly ear and a hot tea.* And a better idea if coaching is the right choice for you.
We'll chat over video call - no awkward office visits, just you, me, and your favourite mug.
* tea not included 😆 that's the trade off for no traffic
