More about my coaching approach

Why neuroscience?

The way coaching is set up is designed to take advantage of the best of the ways the brain learns.

It’s scientifically proven that:

You can train the brain to better navigate change
Your brain is “neuroplastic’’. It has a great deal of capacity for change. And the more of the system you include in the change process, the more durable the change tends to be.
Novel experiences stimulate the growth of new neurons, developing new brain connections that will clarify your thoughts and help make you better decisions.
Planning and visualization of your future sets your brain to spot opportunities that will help you reach your goals.
By making a conscious decision to say ‘’yes’’ to things, you can override negative thinking that holds you back.

Why somatic/embodiment practices?

’’ Transformation occurs when the entire being of the person is addressed.’’ Richard Strozzi-Heckler
The brain extends throughout the body in multiple ways.
It goes without saying that the brain and body are inseparably interwoven. The brain influences and is influenced by the farthest reaches of the body via the central and autonomic nervous systems.
How many times, for example, have you learned a new idea and even known “what to do”, but found yourself unable to actually do it?

Through focused conversation,

movement, integrated body-

oriented practices you will be

guided to new ways of managing life’s

pressures and opportunities.

Embodiment coaching produces more rapid, effective, and lasting change that conversational coaching alone cannot produce.
