As with anything new and unknown, the first session can bring up anything from curiosity to anxiety, from fear to stress and tension for some clients. We invite you to relax. This is just your mind conjuring up what doesn’t exist. It is making pictures of what is not here. In our work there is only one rule – no judgment. So there is no need to fear you will be criticized, found wrong or misunderstood. We know life has its ups and downs, rough spots and pot-holes.  We also know each of us has those things hidden away in our ‘closet’ we wish weren’t there and never want anyone to find out. As the saying goes, ‘We’ve heard it all.’  So please remember…in this work there is No Judgment – EVER!

So when you come to your first session, do your best to relax and we will guide you gracefully and support you thoroughly into the work. This is how;

We want and need to hear it all. If you have a personal or professional problem, are upset with something or someone (even us or the coaching), are just starting to realize something you want to question or share, speak it out. We’re here for you. The more open you are the faster will be your progress through the work and ultimately achieving the results you came to achieve.

As we do our work together, we will draw on many tools and techniques gathered and experienced over decades of study, practice and mentorship. Each has a specific application and appropriate time and relevance to where you are at that specific moment. That is why there is no preconceived plan, no textbook programs to follow.  We follow your lead of where you are, where you want to go and at what pace you want to get there.

As your coach we will choose from among those tools carefully to allow you the best chance to move forward into the next place of openness, possibility or transformation that your consciousness may be ready and inviting you to step into. We will explain the various modalities that you may experience throughout our relationship as the time is right to do so and we welcome your questions about anything you would like to understand more clearly. Clarity is the foundation of a life of empowerment, freedom and fulfillment. We will do our best to help you be clear as we move forward together and will always ask you to be clear with us.

At times we’ll make a direct request, such as “I request that you accomplish X by the end of the month?” You may accept the request, counter-offer (say what you feel you can do) or decline (rare). No matter what you do, we believe that you will be doing what is in your best interest and the very best you can do at that moment.

We will often offer you an invitation to open into a new paradigm, or stretch a little beyond where you are in this moment.  You can accept the invitation or negotiate how you would like to move forward in your time at your pace. that may even be to to stretch even more! We always respect you know what is best for you at that moment and honor that knowing.

Much of this work is intuitive and based on many years of practice and experience. If you are open to it, we will gladly share with you information we receive in the form of hunches, inklings or intuitions. If you are not open to it, please let us know. In all of our work, please use only those requests, invitations and intuitions that resonate with you. We invite you to keep and use what rings true for you and discard the rest.

When we hear a funny tone in your voice, or hear you say something that we just can’t “get” or have the sense you are ducking or hiding, we’ll ask you about it. There is nothing too small or insignificant. Often, it is these small moments that offer the rare chance to understand, resolve or enquire about something. We don’t confront. We will invite you to look at whatever it is so that you can benefit. When something is arising in the moment it is for clarity or clearing.  Those are precious moments that can really be the launching pads for your next leap forward in evolution. We don’t miss much and won’t let you miss much either.
