Coaching

Personal Alchemy

One-on-one skype sessions to:

unleash your power,
align your with your deepest wisdom,
and get you OUT of overwhelm
and INTO the groove of your own momentum.

(Some people might call this life coaching. Because it is.)

I like to call it personal alchemy, because we turn your dross into gold.

What the heck is personal alchemy???
Listen to a sample session.

This is a recording of a session with a client (who gave her blessing that I share it, obviously). I've edited out portions of our conversation, but you'll hear her examine her belief that lack of money is an obstacle keeping her from doing what she wants. Warning: you'll also hear us swear quite a bit, as well as crack each other up.

Coaching BY PHONE???

I know it sounds weird at first, but I adore it and I think you will too. It's an incredibly focused, potent way to do this kind of work. I usually don't even use the video function on my skype calls; there is a meditative quality to the work we do that is supported by the safety of a phone call. You're not out in public at a coffee shop or even sitting in my office, so you can show up as your most raw, honest, tangled self. It's a great place to start.

Single Sessions: one-time, 60-minutes, quick-and-dirty

Wary of commitment? Prefer one-night stands? Here you go. Dive in and work on something. We'll hone in with laser focus on one problem, decision, or dilemma. When you sign up for one of my six-session packages, I'll bring a lot of extra material to our work: my favorite books, exercises to do between sessions, and email access if you need it. These single sessions stand alone. I'll use the techniques I learned in my training with Dr. Martha Beck to get deep, quickly, and work on one particular thing that's bothering you. We'll come up with concrete steps for you to take on your own after the session, I'll send you a follow-up email re-capping what we talked about, and then you're off into the wild blue yonder. E-mail me to book a session or ask me a question.

Quick Fix

Stuck? In crisis? Have to make a quick decision? Or just plagued by a nagging sense that you're missing something? I'm a massively high Quick-Start on the Kolbe scale. (That just means that I like to get right to it, whatever it is, and do some fast untangling and problem-solving.) If you're in a hurry, I'm your girl. 60-minute session by phone or skype. $120. Email me to book.

What Is Luscious?

How long has it been since you tasted delight? Are you grinding it out day by day, working hard at your dreams and goals? Shouldn't it be more fun than this??? Time to reconnect with your joy again. Using your body as a compass, we'll identify the places where you're rubbing yourself raw and then come up with some delicious treats -- for your mind, body, and soul -- to make your days delicious again. If you're a solopreneur, a busy parent, or working at a lousy job when you really want to be making art, this is not decadence -- it's filling the well, and it's essential. One 60-minute session by phone or skype. $120. Email me to book.

Strange Dreams

I use Dr. Martha Beck's dream interpretation, which is based on Carl Jung's theories. This is some of the most potent work my clients do. When you listen to your dreams, you connect with your deepest soul and your highest self. If you are having nightmares, my guess is that your soul has something urgent to tell you. When you listen to your dreams, they transform into your allies. 60-minute session by phone or skype. $120. Email me to book.

Birthtelling

Birthtelling is a new kind of life coaching session. When we tell our story of giving birth, we claim our power for ourselves, our children, and the world. So this is a place to glory in your hero's saga of giving birth and celebrate the birthing goddess in you. It is also a place to heal yourself if your experience of giving birth was traumatic or disempowering. I don't care if you gave birth in a pool or requested your epidural before conception; if you have a baby, you have a birth story. These sessions are recorded, and they make an amazing baby shower gift. More info here. Price negotiable. Email me to book.

Coaching Packages

6 sessions of personal alchemy to revolutionize your life.

This is seriously juicy stuff.

We'll clear out the cobwebs, dream some rich starry dreams, and brew up some serious magic. More info here.

PS. You save some money when you commit to 6 sessions. And, I tend to throw in cool stuff. Just because.

How It Works

You email me. We set a time to talk. (Usually this will be evening in the US, and morning in Tokyo.) If you're scheduling a single session, I will email you a PayPal invoice and you will pay me in advance. If you're buying a package, we have our first conversation and THEN I'll send you that invoice, to make sure that we are a good fit before we get going. (I'll walk you through all this.) At the appointed hour, you skype me at my supersecret skype address. If you have technical difficulties, you'll call me using a backup phone system. (It is your responsibility to set this up; if you have wireless internet, it's MANDATORY.) I charge for sessions missed or canceled within 24 hours, unless it's a true emergency.

The Small Print

1. This is where I tell you legal stuff, only I don't have any, except don't be stupid. I'm a life coach, not a doctor or a psychologist.
2. If you don't feel that your session or product was worth the money you paid, talk to me about it. If you can explain to me thoughtfully and with a minimum of snorting why you're not satisfied, I will refund your money without question. I really want you to be satisfied. (Note: this does not apply to single sessions. On those, if you're not thrilled, we're probably not a good fit for each other. But you could still try talking to me about it. I might agree to a refund anyway.)
3. If you live in Japan or for any other reason would prefer to pay in yen, that's fine. I use a $1=￥100 rate, so go right ahead and make a killing off the currency arbitrage. You're welcome. We'll work out a payment method by email.
