I specialize in Coaching that:
Enriches & supports life transitions-- attracting & enhancing jobs or careers; attracting & enhancing relationships; planning for retirement; changing living environments; changing spiritual direction.
Rebalances your life (where do I really want to put my time, energy, and resources?)-- developing awareness of personal choices & commitments; decluttering; learning time management skills; connecting to a more authentic vision of living.
Opens your creative advantage-- developing & exploring your vision for fulfilled living; committing to choices that matter; asking directly for what you want; expressing your unique message; completing writing, art, other personal projects.
I also offer Body-Energy Therapy on its own-- and in conjunction with coaching-- for people who want to move with greater ease and depth through life transitions and challenges. In helping you feel and embody your energy for action, body-energy awareness is an integral aspect of bringing your goals to life and fulfillment!

The Value of Creating Your Life!
 I'm sitting outside on a sunny day, following two days of rain. Warmer-than-usual January weather in Northern California has plum trees in early blossom and a host of small birds trilling their mating calls through the balmy air. I'm struck by the intensity of biological enthusiasm in the experience of creating new life!
I'm equally struck each time I coach a client who wants to make some change to enhance the meaning or value of his or her life. Most people I see come with a desire to create something new that they can claim as their very own-- whether it is a new business, a new way to do their professional work, new photos on a new website, a new book, a new connection to somebody, or a completely new attitude towards the way they've been living. What they discover is that coaching encourages their creative potential for meaningful action.
Creating a new life, or re-creating and looking anew at your current life, also engages your heart in a new way. Creation is a process that taps into vast energy reserves, and demands commitment to enthusiasm and imagination. It is an act of learning to step past fear and look for the openings. A wonderful Mickey Mouse cartoon shows Mickey climbing a long ladder, leaving the familiar earth and headed for new realms of the sky and spirit. He climbs and climbs, then looks down and realizes, with a palpitating heart, that there's no ladder under his feet! He's left it far behind, and he's still going, creating his own path that's still unfolding for him.
Recently, I put out the following poll question with several possible responses for members of the online professional network, LinkedIn: "What challenges are you currently facing around life transitions and change?" I was fascinated that the response, "how to integrate creativity with my work and life" scored significantly over even such timely topics as "how to have enough" and "what to do about retirement." In other words, even in a time of overall financial and emotional stress, for a number of people, the desire to infuse work with individuality and aliveness continues to hold great value. As many of my clients have found, learning how to invest your work with zest and personal meaning is a creative act with valuable returns in the way of infusing personal enrichment into professional development and financial potential.
Through personalized life coaching and body-energy awareness with me, you can learn how to express your creativity and imagination in the ways you plan for transitions such as career change, retirement, and more meaningful ways of relating with others. Please contact me for a free consultation and join me for my next free, exciting teleclass on the value of creativity in your life (see below for more details).
With warm wishes,

Resource of the Month

Getting to know yourself well and being able to handle life's many choices and demands may sometimes benefit from seeking support from professional life coaching, somatic (body) therapy, and/or psychotherapy. In my experience as a certified life coach and body therapist, I have come to know some extraordinary psychotherapists who have provided the deep empathy required for people to heal personal, interrelational, and/or trauma-based issues. For some, psychotherapy can provide the emotional support and preparation needed for action-oriented life coaching or the "felt" experiences of body therapy. In fact, a number of people have come to me for life coaching or body therapy after or during psychotherapy, when they felt ready for a next level of action or healing.
I have been most fortunate in being able to learn from and share clients with the dedicated, vibrant psychotherapists that I will occasionally feature in Changing Your Life News. This month, I would like to introduce Linda Graham, MFT, a dedicated practitioner who offers empathic, cutting-edge psychotherapy that includes neuroscience, attachment theory, and Vipassana mindfulness practice . . . .
Linda Graham, MFT, is a licensed psychotherapist and life coach in full-time private practice in San Francisco and Corte Madera, CA. She specializes in helping individuals and couples heal into genuine authenticity and a healthy intimacy in their relationships.
"We all have innate capacities for 'relational intelligence.' Both therapy and life coaching can help people un-do old habits of feeling, dealing, and relating that don't work, and develop new approaches and tools that do."
Linda publishes a monthly e-newsletter: Healing and Awakening into Aliveness and Wholeness. Each monthly issue offers practical tools and exercises, stories to learn from, poetry and quotes to inspire, and reflections on topics such as Resilience, Shifting Perspectives, Healing Heartache, etc. For more information, please call 415-665-7765 or visit www.lindagraham-mft.com.
