WELLNESS COACHING
WHAT IS WELLNESS COACHING?
Wellness Coaching helps individuals cultivate healthier self-care habits for long-term success in a way that creates more balance in their lives. Working with a Wellness Coach can provide the type of accountability you are looking for so you can connect with your body and mind more efficiently and live a more fulfilling lifestyle.
This type of therapy often comes into play when you have tried making changes on your own, or with other Providers but you are not getting the desired results and are ready to try something different.
​
My main focus is with helping people prevent, or recover from injuries. Wellness Coaching helps you achieve your goals faster.

WHAT ARE COMMON REASONS FOR WELLNESS COACHING?
Healing from injuries and trauma is complicated and it can be difficult to accomplish without specific direction. You may know which direction you want to go but things keep getting in your way. There are countless number of ways breaking through your problems can be blocked and it can be too easy to get stuck in fight, flight, or freeze mode before stability can be achieved.

WHAT IS HYPNOSIS AND HYPNOTHERAPY?
Hypnosis is a state of being, just like being asleep or being awake. Each of us naturally moves in and out of the state of hypnosis several times a day. While in this state, the subconscious mind is more susceptible to the environment around us for the good, or bad. There are many ways to go into the state of Hypnosis which is relaxing for the body and mind when done in a therapeutic setting.
The use of Hypnosis helps you connect with your subconscious mind to communicate directly with yourself to change old patterns that are no longer working for you faster than you can at just a cognitive level. During sessions, I will provide support and encouragement so you can create faster change in your life through the subconscious levels.
​
The term Hypnotherapy simply means using Hypnosis in a therapeutic setting for the purpose of personal development, working directly with your Physiology.
Coaching of any type should not be treated as a substitute for Psychotherapy which helps you unpack the past and understand yourself and others better. Wellness Coaching and Hypnotherapy are focused on goal setting and taking action steps toward creating a better future for yourself.
If you are currently actively seeing a Mental Health Professional you will be asked to fill out referral forms from them before we can begin working with each other. It is important we are all on the same page with your goals so as not to create confusion for you.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT DURING SESSIONS?
Before your first session there will be intake forms to fill out. Depending on your situation you may be required to fill out Medical or Psychological referral forms prior to your first session. There will also be financial agreement forms and other administrative forms to fill out for me to keep on file.
At the beginning of each session, we will discuss your current issues and will develop your plan based on your long-term goals. Depending on your level of motivation for change, some issues can be resolved quickly while others can take weeks, months, or years depending on how deeply your individual issues are rooted, and how motivated you are to move your life forward.
​
Before, during, or after sessions you may cry, feel physical discomfort, nervousness, excitement, or even in some cases nausea. These are all normal parts of the healing process and do not mean anything is wrong with you, or the activity. Any and all feelings you experience before, during, and after sessions are considered normal parts of the healing process. These types of discomfort or emotions are all connected to letting go and changing. Also keep in mind that this work is not guaranteed to be uncomfortable either! You could also feel a deep sense of calm before, during, or after sessions. It all just really depends on how ready you are to show up for yourself.
You got into the current place in your life through injuries or trauma. Those experiences likely hurt a lot in the moment and in order to move forward with your life it is a requirement for you to look at your current circumstances and let go of some things so you can see where you want to go.
This type of thing takes courage and why it is so important to be ready. If anything here seems overwhelming to you then I recommend not reaching out until you feel up for the challenge - otherwise it will not be worth your money, or my time. I can only show you the path, I cannot make you walk on it.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I SCHEDULE SESSIONS?
My ultimate goal for every client is to provide as much support along the way as possible.
Exploring problems that have been around for decades may require weekly sessions at first. I like to start with scheduling regular sessions 6-8 weeks at a time until clients become more relaxed in their daily routines and are no longer feeling challenged by the work between sessions. After that, we can move to bi-weekly scheduling until that spacing between sessions becomes comfortable. Then we can move to different increments from there.
