Life is increasingly busy and complex. Compassionate Brain Life Coaching (CPLC), helps you to press the pause button, slow down and remember and or newly discover who you are. Science tells us that our brains at rest are actually programmed to be happy. But it sure doesn't always feel that way. CBLC equips you with the cognitive and mindfulness tools to counter the self-critic and manage difficult times. I will help you identify, name and validate the places you go under stress, with a view to exploring what works and creating newly, including moving from surviving to thriving.
Utilizing somatic and active techniques, mindfulness based CBT; and motivational coaching, I will join you in unearthing unhelpful beliefs, patterns and communication styles, to examine strengths and weaknesses with loving kindness. Adopting a compassionate, as well as humorful approach, together we will explore a purposeful life. Those from different cultures, and Middle East, welcome.
I specialize in helping individuals reinvent themselves in the workplace; and coaching couples and families to overcome the past by creating new structures and agreements. Together we explore topics such as emotional intelligence, the neuroscience of emotions, and explore ways to integrate mindfulness and acknowledgement practices into everyday life.
