Coaching is... a powerful partnership that helps individuals gain clarity, access their natural resourcefulness, take focused action, and become the expression of the life they deeply desire.

As your coach... I partner with you to create a safe, creative, non-judgmental playground that honors who you are and what you are passionate about. Together, we utilize our natural human curiosity, mindfulness practice, life balance tools, my asking of powerful questions and your willingness to connect with what's true for you as catalysts for change. I meet your commitment to yourself with my commitment to support and witness you 100% as you walk your path to creating or enhancing a dynamic, balanced life. 

Mindfulness is... the practice of paying attention (with non-judgmental, present-moment awareness) to the thoughts, feelings and body sensations arising within you and all that is happening around you. Explore other definitions at Wikipedia. As your coach, I support you in developing and/or sustaining your mindfulness practice. I have practiced meditation and mindfulness since 2002 and bring my own training and experience to our work.

The joining of coaching and mindfulness practice provides... focus and structure that supports your clarity, motivation and action on your path to creating or enhancing a dynamic, balanced life.

"The definition of mindfulness which I like most is the awake attention to what is happening inside and outside so we can respond from a place of wisdom." -- Sylvia Boorstein 
(from an interview by Dennis Hughes, Share Guide Publisher, The Holistic Health Magazine and Resource Directory)  

I work with individuals... who want to create and live a dynamic, balanced life. Those open to the aliveness of honest self-discovery. Those yearning to commit to living a life that is engaged with the present moment and our connection with self, others and the natural world. Women and men who want to become the expression of the life they are really wanting, including the expression of the innate human qualities they value most. Qualities such as clarity, vision, wisdom, compassion, ease and joy.

I work with leaders... ready to listen to the internal voice that knows that it is their commitment to their own self-nurturance that will increase their capacity to work with and inspire others from a place of greater clarity, connection, authenticity and passion. As your coach, I bring 14+ years experience supervising community recreation programs and mentoring leaders who provided youth and adults with opportunities to make positive free-time choices that support dynamic, balanced lives. 

I work with groups... ready to re-align with their true priorities, explore the power of perspective, re-connect with their natural wisdom, and be inspired by one another along the way. 

How do we get started and how often do we meet?
To inquire about the availability of individual coaching beginning the Fall of 2012, please contact me by phone at 707.258.6230 or by e-mail at Lori@bluewatercoaching.net.

Coaching begins with a free 30-minute meeting to determine whether we're a good match. This is followed by an initial 75-minute discovery session. In this foundational meeting, we explore your values, the dynamic/balanced life you yearn to create, what holds you back, and what lights you up. After this initial session, coach and client meet 50-minutes by-phone or in-person, 2 to 4 times per month. To give you opportunity to create the changes you desire, a 4-month, 8-month or 12-month commitment to the coaching process is requested. Please visit my services page to determine which package offering is the best match for you. Email support is available between calls to support your momentum and the honoring of your commitment to yourself. 

What about fees and scheduling?
My individual coaching fee during these complex economic times is $65 - $85 per 50-minute session (sliding scale) with a foundational 75-minute discovery session and free email correspondance available between meetings to support you in moving toward your vision. To give you the opportunity to create sustainable change, I request that we meet 2 to 4 times per month for 4, 8 or 12-months. Please visit my services page for package details. I offer both by-phone and in-person coaching, including the option of meeting by-phone in the evenings following your work day. My Meditation & Life Balance class fees currently range from $40 to $65 per 4 to 6 week series. Workshop fees vary depending upon specific needs of the group, number of participants and duration of event. Please contact me for more information.

If this work speaks to you, I’d love to hear from you.
