Welcome to Silver Gate Life Coaching!  What changes are you ready to make?  Are you overweight and ready to commit to a lifestyle of regular exercise and sane eating?  Perhaps you 've been home with the kids for a few years and are ready to go back to work but you aren't quite sure what it is you want to do.  Maybe you're an empty-nester ready to add meaningful work and activities to your life, but up until now you've been too busy to figure out what those are.  Are you having a quarter-life crisis?  A mid-life crisis?

Life Coaching is an individualized personal development program that can help you assess your needs and develop a plan that is going to work for YOU (as I always tell my clients, it doesn't have to work for anyone else!).  Off the rack solutions often don't fit.  For example, you buy the latest diet book that everyone is talking about. They swear that it worked for them.  It requires a two week period of very restricted eating. The problem is, every time you have ever started a "diet" like this, you start binge eating after a few days or a week. Clearly, this isn't going to work for you.  Let's find out what WILL work for you!  I guarantee that no matter what change you want to make, if you listen to your true nature, there will be a solution.  

Coaching is a highly dynamic and interactive process in which the coach guides you through the cycle of change.

We use workbooks, interviews, and exercises, all in an effort to discover who you really are. We work together to discover talents, desires, and preferences. Maybe jogging isn't your thing, but dance is?  Maybe you are working as a Lawyer but long to be a Wilderness Guide?  Maybe you went to college to be a Teacher but you find yourself gravitating toward creative writing?  Maybe you live in Maine but want to experience another environment, maybe, who knows, South Carolina for a while?  Maybe you long to be in a lasting relationship, but haven't spotted a potential partner in months (years?)?                                

Who were you born to be?

You envision the changes you want to make. The life dreams that seem impossible can become a reality when you visualize them as possible.

We work together to set goals. We map out the many small steps it will take to get you to the spot where you are being and living your very best. We address obstacles to change such as fear, routine, and the expectations of others. As a team, we persevere to see the changes through!

Coaching requires regular contact. In addition to scheduled meetings, communication by e-mail and phone will be part of the coaching relationship.
