MIND-CENTERED AND BODY-CENTERED COACHING

My coaching services include an unusually broad spectrum:

1.	Primarily mind-centered coaching (verbal, mentally focused)

	--	Leadership & business coaching
	--	Life coaching

2.	*Primarily body-centered coaching* (limited verbal or non-verbal, focused on the physical or energetic level)

	--	Assisted yoga
	--	Craniosacral therapy

3.	*A combination of* mind- *and* *body-centered* coaching (for clients who may benefit most from a more balanced combination of coaching approaches, with the mix depending on their particular goals and needs)

	--	ADHD / ADD coaching
	--	Stress reduction coaching

Mind- and body-centered coaching are complementary and often build upon each other:

•	Mind-centered coaching may include a body-centered component, such as learning to ground yourself so that you can think more clearly
•	Body-centered coaching may include a mind-centered component, such as discussing practical steps you can take to maximize the progress we have made in our body-centered work

Why do I offer such a broad spectrum of coaching services?

•	A flexible, individualized approach offers exceptional possibilities for powerful transformation
•	Offering broad options for mind- and body-centered coaching, as appropriate to each client, is the most effective vehicle I have found for integrating the mind-body connection
•	The variety in my work is fun and challenging, and keeps me on my toes!

	--	Convenience
