A little about Christy

I consider it a deep privilege to drop into your life and walk with you in moments of vulnerability, grit, courage discovery and growth! I believe you are the expert in you (no one knows you and your life better than you) and I am the expert in the coaching process where I bring in my life experience and wisdom of 35+ years being a spouse and mother, a leader and a business owner. I commit to creating a safe and brave space for you to be and discover YOU. . Coaching with me looks like a jazz riff that has different tempos where it slows down and speeds up naturally. We check in, then settle into the first phase of the session which is getting clear on what you really want to work on. This may take a while. You may go directly to a prior focus area from previous coaching sessions for your own accountability - and that is great - AND, I always meet you where you are in every session. I offer my presence and deep listening. I notice nuances by asking about the meaning of words, the source of beliefs, where you may feel tension in your body and what might be motivating you. We get to the heart of what you really want and how you will know when you are there. Then we go into the next phase which might include the discovery of blocks, how you might release them, identifying resources you have available to you, and even role playing for practice in difficult conversations. Learning and discovery happen naturally in our client-led coaching. We close our session with reflection and commitment of next steps towards your desired outcome. I measure my success as a coach by your clarity, discoveries, growth and overall experience. I bring over 2500 hours of coaching into our sessions. I hold a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) credential through the International Coaching Federation (ICF). I am also certified in Emotional Intelligence, Conversational Intelligence, Internal Family Systems (level 1), and most recently as a Mindfulness Meditation Teacher through Tara Brach and Jack Cornfield's program. I will be applying for the Master Certified Coach, the ICF's highest credential this year. I am a huge proponent of OPTING IN to living life FULLY with relationships, life-long learning, growth, and integration as cornerstones. I hope to journey with you on your life path!
