Since I began this journey in becoming a life coach, I have heard over and over again, “ what is a life coach?” To a former classroom teacher, and now yoga teacher for  teens in a private school, I think “it’s what I’ve been doing my whole career!” Teachers who care about their students, like I do, spend much of their time being a listening ear, a guide, motivator, and someone gently holding them accountable to achieving wonderful goals!

 Athletes, and executives have used private coaches for years. Many parents get specialized sports coaching for their children. As an Orlando Life Coach for Children, Teens, and Young Adults I am so excited to be able to help them with goals concerning academics, organization, social issues, and health and fitness. I have been “coaching” my students for over 20 years with these issues, and through my certification training with Dr. Shad Helmstetter and The Life Coach Institute, I developed specific tools to work one on one with my clients. We will meet regularly to identify the goals they want to achieve. I will help them track their progress, take action steps to overcome obstacles, and be there for them through email, or phone calls to keep them moving in the right direction.

I intend to be a mentor who will help young people respect their own individuality, recognize their unique talents, and have the confidence to go forth in the world with a sense of self worth and the tools to face life’s challenges independently.

… On a fundamental level, that’s what Extreme Self Care is all about: extraordinary mothering. A good mother knows what helps a child feel whole in every way. She develops a finely tuned sensor that lets her know what her children need; and using a loving discerning eyes, does her best to meet these needs.” ~excerpt from The Art of Extreme Self-Care by Cheryl Richardson

When treating clients in my orlando counseling practice I often implement an empty chair technique (gesta developed by Fritz Pearls) in which a client can talk directly to/confront a person who is not in the room. After a brief meditation I’ll direct the client to envision this person sitting in an empty chair in the room and speak directly to them. This works well for situations including giving closure to a client who has lost someone they love,  abused by someone they do not wish to confront in the physical and various other situations. However, more and more often I have found myself using this technique in a completely different capacity.
