Life Coaching and Spiritual Mentoring with April

What is Coaching?

Coaching is a professional, personal consulting relationship, where the coach and client become partners in the client's success. The coach sees and holds the space for the client's potential-more and bigger than the client can! The coaching process consists of assessment, regular contact, persistent inquiry, goal setting and tracking, assignments, and follow-up.

What are the benefits to Coaching?

Coaching clients report clarity and focus in setting and achieving life goals. They are energized and enthused through the constant encouragement and validation they receive, and are highly motivated to succeed.

What could be achieved through Coaching?

Improved work performance, leadership, management, and interpersonal skills; successful life/work transitions; better, more effective business or personal relationships and communication; increased job and life satisfaction; fulfillment of one's goals, aspirations, and desires.

How does the Coaching process work?

An initial intake assessment helps the client determine what areas of focus they would like to address and that may require attention. Regular contact (phone or in-person) supports the client in setting goals; determining action steps; exploring barriers, visions, fears, and desires; and maintaining accountability through follow-up. The client may e-mail the coach during the week with completed assignments, accomplishments, or requests for support.

How does the Coach charge for services?

Coaches generally charge for their services on a monthly basis. 

How is Coaching different from psychological counseling?

Coaching is oriented toward action in the present and looking at what is desired in the future-while therapy usually takes patients to their past for understanding, analyzing, and then healing. Coaches work with clients who generally feel satisfied and healthy, but who want more from their lives or desire support in moving forward more quickly. Coaches may refer clients to psychologists when appropriate.  It is not a replacement for traditional therapy.

What qualifies someone to be a coach?

 

Coaching requires special skills and expertise. Coaches can be formally trained in coaching programs. Generally, they come with years of life experience in roles and life situations similar to those of their clients. Well-trained coaches, however, can coach on any topic. Coaching is not about providing answers-but is about asking questions and understanding what is happening with the client.

 

How long has coaching been around?

Coaching has been around for about ten years and began in the corporate world.  About five years ago, coaching moved into the personal realm and is becoming more and more popular because of the great results people achieve.

Will I reach my goals and get what I want?

That depends on your commitment, determination, and the willingness to show up. Coaching often has clients facing fears, realizing negative beliefs, and working through blocks to get to the other side. Sometimes it is scary and painful. If you stick with it and face the fears, chances are you will get what you want.

 
This is an inspirational item, thought, or quote that has some significance to it and is sent to you through email weekly.  At the bottom of the email, you will receive a question or an assignment that pertains to the inspirational item for you to write about in your journal. It provides you with an opportunity for reflection and awareness in your life.  This is a great connection for you if you are not ready to delve fully into a Coaching/Mentoring Relationship just yet.

Are there options for Distance Coaching?

Yes.  We can tailor a coaching program that is specific to your needs and circumstances.  Three ways of communicating in a distance coaching relationship are available: telephone, email  and/or instant messages session. 

How can coaching get me to a new place in my life?

With your coach asking you powerful questions, supporting, holding you accountable, and being there, you will be finding your own answers and moving in the direction of your desires. This extremely powerful method of inquiry and discovery can help you learn more about how you operate in the world. In the process, you will have breakthroughs on issues that will ultimately help you stretch and grow.

How do you define success?

Success in life is a process of getting in touch with who you are and creating the life you want. This includes knowing and living by your values. When you have success in your inner world, you have what you want in the external world. Inner satisfaction is like a magnet. You begin attracting what you desire.

How long should I work with a coach?

Everyone is different. It really depends on what you are getting out of coaching and how long you want to work with the coach. Some people go for many years with a coach and some just for a few months. Most people quickly see great benefits from having a coach and continue with the relationship because it serves them.

How do I know if a coach will be right for me?

You will usually feel whether the coach is right for you in this first session.

How is April’s Coaching different than other Coaches?

My background is what makes my Coaching practice different.  I am a Certified Holistic Life Coach, Energy Therapist and Teacher and a Spiritual Intuitive; Certified as an Usui & Angelic Reiki Master Teacher, Integrated Energy Teacher Practitioner and Quantum Touch.  I have completed a Pastoral Counseling Course through St. Francis Hospital.  My educational background is in government and politics and I have a B.A. in Political Science/Public Administration.  In addition to my training and certification, I am also a Spiritual Intuitive working with the Angelic Realm as a channel for the information the Angels would like to provide to us through automatic writing and live channeling. Through spiritual guidance, coaching and energy healing, my goal is to promote healing on all levels for my clients; helping them to look within and reconnect with their body-mind-spirit connection for self healing.  

 

As a Certified Holistic Life Coach, I can coach on any topic; however, my focus has been on assisting people with their goals of remaining in balance through body, mind and spirit.  With people “waking” and wanting something more in their life, seeking spirituality in a different way than they had in the past, or feeling like something is missing, my focus has been on helping client’s to balance their life by way of making more time for healing themselves and connecting with their intuition.   We all have the gifts of intuition; it is just a simple matter of reconnecting to it and allowing it to take place in our lives.   My Life Coaching uses all the tools available to me, including spiritual guidance and energy therapy to best assist my client’s in achieving their goals.  Often the starting point for many of my Life Coaching Clients begins with a workshop I channeled from the Angels: Fall in Love with the Spirit that is You!  It is the workshop that sparks your soul’s journey and opens your world to new possibilities.
