Stress affects us all.  How we view the stressors in our life impacts how we deal with stress.  If we view our stressors as negative, our stress response will create a negative by-product in our lives which often leads to increased illness – mental, physical and emotional.  This is where we see chronic injuries that do not heal, depression, anxiety and other mental illness.

Our Mind-Body Coach guides you to the awareness of how you view and respond to stress and provides you with the tools to create an empowered stress response in your life.

Each person is unique – we all have a different stress response to various situations and too often we judge ourselves on how we handle it compared to how others handle the same situation.  Stress can be very personal – many people struggle without really letting anyone know what’s truly going on with them out of fear, shame and “not wanting to burden others”.

We offer a judgment-free space that allows clients to explore their lives while offering new possibility created through the “coach approach” which is NOT therapy, counselling or psychiatry.  Clients are provided the tools that best serve their perspective and unique challenges in their lives.

DEFINITIONS:

Mindfulness & Meditation

Clients are guided in a one-on-one environment to cultivate their own personal practice of mindfulness and/or meditation.  The sessions are guided by the individual’s own unique needs, challenges, and goals.

A personal practice may include the use of mindfulness techniques, meditation, breath or breathing exercises (pranayama), and visualization.

Mindfulness and/or meditation can help to bring a client’s focus into the present.  It can reduce anxiety and depression by helping one to focus more clearly on the now and less on past or future stresses.  Mindfulness works to allow your body and brain to acknowledge these stressors which can reduce or eliminate the physiological responses that affect productivity, sleep, and wellbeing.

Don’t think you have what it takes to meditate?  Tried and failed in the past?  We invite you to explore meditation in a way that’s impossible to fail and educate you on the biggest misconception people have about meditation – think you have to “stop your thoughts”?…then we’re talking to you!

Coaching

Coaching is defined by the International Coach Federation (ICF) as “partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential”.

Our Coach specializes in the journey to healing and self-discovery, which creates health, happiness and flourishing in the lives of our clients.

Creating awareness, providing alternative perspectives, seeing new possibility, and taking empowered, inspired actions are some of the ways our coach supports your journey.

Positive Psychology

Positive Psychology is the scientific study of the strengths and virtues that enable individuals and communities to thrive.  This field is founded on the belief that people want to lead meaningful and fulfilling lives, to cultivate what is best within themselves, and to enhance their experiences of work, love and play.

Workshops

Our workshops are designed to support clients on their own journeys to healing and self-discovery, by offering the (simple) science of what’s really happening in your brain and body, creating awareness of the impact in your own personal life, and providing tools and practices to improve your own well-being.

Each workshop focuses on a specific topic that challenges optimal health and wellbeing in today’s modern lifestyle.  Participants are provided awareness and education, rooted in science, and offered simple, effective tools to up-level their lives.
