Determining if coaching is right for you depends on your willingness to explore personal or professional growth, your openness to new perspectives, and your commitment to taking action towards your goals.

What is your coaching approach or methodology?

I employ a somatic approach rooted in the Gestalt model, which emphasizes observing clients' thoughts, tonality, and body language to uncover their inherent truths. Through deep listening and powerful questioning, I guide clients in exploring these truths, utilizing experiential techniques like enactment and drawing. Each session is tailored to the present moment, prioritizing the client's expression in the here-and-now. Additionally, I utilize the Enneagram framework to illuminate fixed thinking, feeling, and behavior patterns. The Enneagram is a powerful human development system utilized by organizations such as the CIA, FBI, and leading tech companies.
