As a life transitions coach, I serve as a creative resource for threshold experiences so that clients can live with authenticity and a deeper sense of self.
Coaching is a co-creative and collaborative process. I provide mindful listening and questioning, compassionate consideration of your journey, and the wisdom of process skills towards change. I strive to encourage each client to cross the thresholds of change towards their own personal goals. A coach is an asset as you move through major life transitions. I can provide you with education, tools, resources, and support that will enhance your journey and growth.
My job as your coach is to provide witness, listening, help you identify your own personal power tools, and resources in support of your movement through watershed experiences. Life transitions can feel huge. And hard. Some come with grief while others invite our attention to changes we feel called to make. A coach is an asset as you move through these experiences. I can provide you with education, tools, resources, and support that will enhance your journey and growth.
As women over 40, we have or are experiencing seasons of change. From caregiving for small children to empty nesting to caregiving for elderly parents or health-challenged partners. Work-life transitions arise too – while retirement from a long career may be looming, you may also find yourself longing to continue meaningful work in another way. Aging itself involves layers of loss. Experiences draw us into seasons of transition and change where reflection and redefining are predominant themes. Again and again, we focus our attention on questions about how we can live an authentic life while gaining or maintain a deeper sense of self.
A life transitions coach is an excellent resource and sounding board for navigating change as we age.
A Discovery conversation is an outstanding way to learn more about me as well as the coaching experience. During our 30-minute call, we will explore what you are considering and how I might support your process. We will learn a little about one another to make sure that our collaboration is aligned with your needs and my areas of expertise. Together we can consider the co-creative process that coaching offers and how it might serve your goals in this season of life.
Please note that coaching is not counseling. Rather it is a present-focused, companioning approach to clarifying your vision for wholehearted living. Often clients work with both a therapist and a coach to maximize their growth experiences.
In his book Letters to a Young Poet, Rainier Maria Rilke writes: “…live everything. Live the questions now.”
So many life questions and so few answers! How are you navigating the big life questions you are in?
Losses and major life transitions, combined with everyday decisions make life overwhelming. Unanswerable questions pile up. It can be hard to know where to begin. If this is your present moment, join me in the process of uncovering your most important questions. After signing up, you will receive a brief self-assessment tool. Your responses will help us discern the top questions and the priorities they present. You will leave the session with insight, a renewed sense of hope, and encouragement for living the questions now.
Perhaps you find yourself in the choppy streams of a watershed moment. Or maybe you are downstream in the messy aftermath. A life transition coach is a resource for navigating the muddy, turbulent waters of your present circumstances as well as revealing your vision for the future.
One-on-one coaching sessions through Watershed Moments Coaching can assist you in regaining a sense of stability. Coaching is a co-creative process. Together we will explore your watershed moment to reveal unfolding values, changes you desire, and strategies for gaining strength and momentum in your transition.
We will build momentum toward living authentically and with a deeper sense of self. As your coach, I will provide confidentiality, encouragement, accountability, education, and resources that can serve your desired outcomes. We can choose to work together on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. You can determine what fits best for you. I look forward to planning our collaboration with intention, vision, and a desire for a wholehearted living!
