Holistic Life Coaching.

This is NOT a ‘feel the fear and do it anyway’ type coaching. This work is holistic, it works with your needs of as a whole person.  We delve into the past only long enough to understand the history of the blocks and keys.  We then apply incredible models to release hurts and challenge belief systems or schema that block you moving forward.

We all experience frustration. Whether it be in finances, relationships, career path, parenting or ‘fill in the blank’…. this journey is about unpacking your ‘blueprint’ (belief system) in that particular area and really understanding how and why you experience what you do.  Together we look at how you would like to experience that situation and create a new pathway that will invite new experience and new feeling.

This approach to life coaching is truly transformational.  YOU are the driver in the process, that way, we ensure YOUR needs are met.
I do not offer any advice or opinions; I believe that you have all the answers you need right inside of you; it is simply my job to help you find them.

Who needs a life coach?

Everyone!  You do not need to be ‘broken’ or ‘crazy’ or in a life-threatening situation.  It is healthy for everyone to understand themselves, how they tick, why they think and feel the way they do.  You can unpack any emotional, thinking or behaviour patterns, you can get clear about who you are and what you want out of life.  You can also gain skills to manage emotional triggers and communicate effectively.  These skills and tools radically change your experience of life.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Holistic Life Coaching?

Holistic Life Coaching is teamwork between you and me which allows you to remain in the drivers seat while we look at your life together. It is an opportunity for you to decide where you may like some change or shift.  Whether it is different external things such as a different employment, living arrangement or direction…. or whether you would like an internal shift such as to experience different emotions or thinking patterns.

YOU ARE THE EXPERT ON YOU!
You have all the answers inside you! I am there to support you as we journey together to find them! The experience of Holistic Life Coaching will be supportive.
How is Holistic Life Coaching different to other models?
Holistic Life Coaching is different to other models in that it looks at every part of a person, the body, mind, heart and spirit/soul! We look at how all these parts interact together and which parts are strengths and which parts could use some more loving! This can support the creation of balance as we all naturally have certain leanings. With a more balanced foundation, we can look at ALL the needs of a person rather than focus on one area such as goal setting or career.
How is Holistic Life Coaching different to Counselling?
With Holistic Life Coaching there is a different ratio of time spent in the past. Counselling as a practice, tends to be more focused in the past. While we acknowledge that the past sets up our belief patterns and that there is value to visit past experiences to have more of an understanding of ourselves, we live in the present and it can be easy to get stuck in the past and continue to re-live our story. Holistic Life Coaching, gets the keys and learning from the experiences and looks at how we can implement the learning into the future to find fresh experiences rather than living the loop.
Can anyone do Holistic Life Coaching sessions or do you need to be spiritual?
Anyone can do Holistic Life Coaching. Because you are the client, or the one being coached – it is all about you! The coaching offered will be to your understanding, level and depth. You will definitely find it a challenging process as change is not often comfortable, however you will never be forced to do anything you don’t want to do and all views, spiritual or otherwise are respected.
Are a certain amount of sessions required?
A Holistic Life Coaching package with The Beyond is 6 sessions. The reason for this is that it allows time for integration of learning's and it can sometimes take a couple of sessions to get accustomed to how it all works. The reason why it is not longer is because it is important for you to take the tools and apply them to your life rather than thinking that it is your coach making the difference! It’s all you baby! At the beginning of the package, you will be asked what you are hoping to gain or understand from your sessions. There are usually quite a few things on the wish list and its important that each hope is honored and given the time it deserves. Experience has shown that there is almost always a significant shift within these 6 sessions. There are maintenance sessions available for a refresher or a one-off after you have finished a package.

How long does a session take?

Usually a Coaching session would take 1 1/2 hours. I would recommend allowing 2 hours to give yourself a bit of time either side for a breather. Sometimes this work can be very sensitive or take us places that can surprise us so it is important to take care of yourself, particularly after your session. It would not be recommended to have a session on a lunch break from work for example or to go off to a loud environment afterwards.  Your coach will discuss self care with you at the time of your session.

Where does a session take place?
The Beyond Coaching room is here in Christchurch. Otherwise, if you live elsewhere, Skype Coaching can be available to you upon request.
How regularly to I meet my coach?
You can discuss this with your coach at the time of agreement. Usually Life Coaching sessions would be on a weekly or fortnightly basis. With larger gaps in between sessions 5 and 6. The reason for this is for a smoother transition into life without your coach which is really the aim.
Will my information be confidential?
All your information will be confidential. There will be an agreement to sign at the beginning of the coaching relationship which will indicate this and bind the coach to confidentiality excluding serious concerns of harm. This will all be discussed with you on commencement of your package.
Do you have a Holistic Life Coaching qualification?
Absolutely! I have a diploma of Holistic Life Coaching which was earned through the training course of Life Coach Associates. Life Coach Associates takes it’s clients and training very seriously and I can guarantee you that I won’t ask you to do anything that I have not done myself!
How much is each session?
Each session is $195 (including GST) Although packages are sold in a series of 6. You are welcome to have one off sessions once this initial package is complete.
Do you have different payment options?
You can pay either by bank deposit, cash or credit through this site. There are payment plans available. This will be discussed upon signing the agreement before you commence.
Does this work?
Yes it does! Because it’s about you, for you, driven by you, it has an amazing approach which gives you exactly what you need! We will be focusing on what YOU want to change – this is certainly not a ‘one size fits all’ kind of therapy! Every session is completely different as it is driven by the individuals wants and needs.
