Well, look no further. For the past 25 years, I’ve been applying the most effective tools from Positive Psychology, Yoga Therapy, Life Coaching and Meridian Tapping to help individuals and couples clarify their goals, reduce suffering, and create the lives of their dreams. The goal of a coaching relationship is to help individuals clarify, tap into, and actualise their deepest vision of who they are. A coach acts as a facilitator for a client’s full flowering as a person — a Gardener of the Spirit. The key difference between coaching and psychotherapy has more to do with mindset than method. While both coaching and therapy can help people make major life changes, coaching liberates therapy from a medical, pathology-based approach and focuses wholly on human strengths, positive passions and the nurturance of untapped possibilities. Positive Yoga Coaching offers a dynamic, holistic, solution-focused route to a happier, healthier life. Relationship Coaching combines Yoga’s timeless principles and Positive Psychology’s evidence based tools for experiencing more intimacy, satisfaction and Joy in all our relationships.
