1. What is a Spiritual Coach? Are you a psychic or a reader?
I will not tell your fortune, read your cards, do your numbers
or advise you about love. I am not a healer. As a Spiritual Coach,
I am a trained Professional Life Coach with a niche in Spiritual
Development and Connection. I help you understand and work with
universal principles to create more joy, more focus, better results
in living the life that makes you happy. I teach you to use Law
of Attraction in your life, all the time.

2. What would you do for me as my Spiritual Coach?
Our thoughts create our reality
- this is a basic law of nature called the Law of Attraction. People
who know this is true, often still have difficulty seeing and understanding
how they are creating their current life. We’re usually too close
to our selves to be able to see ourselves objectively. As your Spiritual
Coach, I will:
- listen to what you say, think and take for granted
and show you how those thoughts create and hold in place your
current life.
- guide you through exercises and processes that
effectively and quickly align you (your thoughts, beliefs, and
expectations) with your desires
- talk with you about
your understanding of the law of attraction and remove any fluff
or confusion in your mind about how it works
- give you a razor sharp
definition to know when its working for your good ( it’s always
working)
- give you homework -
so that you are reminded to actually do the things you say you
want to do
- create new habits of
thought with you to align you with your desires, and check in
to reinforce your progress with them
- help you find that
feeling inside of you so you KNOW when you are in alignment with
your desire.
- and celebrate with you your manifestations!

3. Who discovered this?
Well, there are two answers to this. The profession of Personal
Coaching was founded by Thomas Leonard in the early 1980’s to help
people have better lives, reach their goals, do what they love.
There are currently around 100,000 Professional Personal Coaches
in the US.
Spiritual Coaching that I do is a non-religious melding of
modern science with ancient wisdom. It is based in Ageless Wisdom,
sometimes called the Perennial Philosophy - those universal truths
that appear as a thread through all the world’s great religions
and philosophies across time and in all cultures. Aspects of these
truths are now being acknowledged by leading edge thinkers in all
realms of science. Did you see the movie, What the Bleep Do We Know?
It is physicists talking about how we create our reality with our
intention. Spiritual Coaching has evolved to help people find and
live their connection.

4. Do you follow a particular guru or spiritual teacher?
No, we have no affiliation with any guru or religious group
whatsoever. However, like all Professional Coaches, I have my own
Coach who I speak with several times a month.

5. How did you get into this kind of work? How did you develop this program?
Through using these principles, I’ve created my life exactly
as I want it and I get to do what I love each day. I asked myself
what would I do if I knew I could not fail, and what is the most
fun thing I can do even if I don’t get paid for it. This is it.
I’m living my dream life, making my living entirely on the Internet,
teaching and coaching, interacting with people who resonate with
joy and curiosity. I’m free to travel anytime, taking my laptop
and cell phone with me. I can work from Key West, Cancun, Greece,
Hong Kong or home.

6. Who are your clients? What kinds of people get coached?
My clients tend to be Spiritually
Aware, whether that be of a New Age Awareness or Christian Awareness
is irrelevant - but the common denominator is our clients are aware
of a higher power.
- They are bright, inquisitive,
committed, passionate people on a conscious spiritual path who
are feeling stuck or frustrated at this point in their spiritual
growth.
- They
are highly creative, intelligent, leading edge thinkers that have
a yearning for a greater understanding
- They are wanting a
guide and mentor to living a life of abundance and success, a
life of ease and fun, a life of living their grandest version
of their greatest vision.
My clients
are readers of Abraham-Hicks, Seth, Wayne Dyer, Lynn Grabhorn, Shakti
Gawain, Science of Mind, Carolyn Myss, Gary Zukav, ACIM, Deepak
Chopra, Marianne Williamson, James Redfield, Eckhart Tolle, Neale
Donald Walsch, Iyanla Vanzant, Brian Weiss, Jack Canfield, Edgar
Cayce, Catherine Ponder, Sanaya Roman and other contemporary teachers
of the Perennial Wisdom. People who are frustrated trying to implement
life changes on their own.
Candidates for coaching are success and goal oriented. Some
have had very successful careers and personal lives. Others have
uniquely diversified backgrounds. They may be old or young, but
all of my clients are growth-oriented individuals. They bring a
willingness to analyze their lives, communicate honestly and openly,
and are ready and determined to grow.

7. SO, IS YOUR LIFE PERFECT?
Of course not. I’m human, and
I’m still here. But my life unfolds, for the most part, in ease
and joy. I use the spiritual laws to bring my desires to me and
to meet my goals. Problems and issues still show up, but they don’t
last as long, they don’t suck me into react mode and now I get above
them easily. Despair, depression and helplessness are no longer
a part of my life. I always know I’m creating by my emotions, so
when something ugly shows up I look at how I created that, then
I change it.

8. How does it work?
We will
meet by telephone, with you calling me at the agreed upon time.
Calls are generally scheduled for the same day and time each week,
usually three weeks a month for 25-45 minutes each. Whatever we
discuss is strictly confidential.
You will be supported with experiential,
right-brain processes, resources, readings, and intuitive insights
that will align your vibration with your desires. Your left brain
intellectual curiosity will be fed through understanding how and
why this works. Sometimes working in a structured way, sometimes
working in a more free-flowing way, you will come to understand
the principles, use the techniques, and learn to recognize when
you are in alignment with your goals and when you are not. You will
know how to bring yourself back in alignment to have flow and ease
in your life. You will know when to take inspired action, and when
action will not be effective. You will become more joyous, more
centered, more focused, more effective and more connected with what
you want.

9. Isn’t this just positive thinking? or like doing affirmations? I did
those; it didn’t work.
Neither positive thinking nor affirmations teach you how
to align your vibration with your desires so that they can flow
to you effortlessly. It is difficult, if not impossible, to think
positively when your reality is completely different. I show you
how to stay aligned when all heck is breaking loose around you.
Affirmations usually are done by rote and quickly get boring. There
is a key to creating effectively; affirmations don’t give you that
key - I do. Neither of these practices help you know when you are
in alignment. How do you know if you are doing it right? I show
you how to know.

10. IS THIS DIFFERENT FROM THERAPY? HOW?
There is a 2 page answer for this - click here.

11. What Would I Talk About With A Coach?
§
What you no longer want in your life
§
What you do want to create
§
Beliefs and ideas you hold
§
Breakthroughs, wins or insights
§
Where you are stuck
§
Inspired actions for you to take
§
Your dominant mood or feeling tone

12. WHAT IS LAW OF ATTRACTION?
Simply put, it means that “like attracts like”. Whatever
you are thinking, feeling, believing is what you attract. Coaching
is beneficial in discovering what you really want (really, really
want!) and then overcoming any limiting beliefs that might hold
you back from attracting what you want. Once your thoughts and beliefs
are truly aligned then there’s no stopping the unimaginable opportunities
and “synchronicities” available to you.
Top of Page
13. How much does it cost?
Most Professional Coaches charge fees ranging from $250 to
$500 per month. My coaching fees and programs are described on my
Services page and average around $350 per month, for
three 45 minute calls each month. There are no other charges and
clients may call or email me in between sessions if you cannot wait
to share a success, need advice, have a challenge or just want to
check in. I have time between our regular calls and enjoy providing
this extra level of service. I accept credit and debit cards through
PayPal, and I accept personal checks or money orders.
That seems like a lot of money.
Why does it cost so much?
How much is self-empowerment worth? Coaching is a relationship where the total focus is on you, on what you
want in your life, and on what will help you achieve it. It is time
that is customized to you and only you, looking at your patterns
and your paradigms. Through a co-active process of questioning, listening,
clarifying, and supporting you - I help you discover your personal
vision for success and overcome the obstacles and limited beliefs
that keep you from taking action.
As in any profession, I have specialty training covering
psychology, counseling, ministerial, and energy healing, with on-going
continuing ed through workshops and seminars. Coaching is rapidly
becoming a well respected profession yet coaching fees tend to be
less than in therapy, counseling or consulting fields.
The average length of a coaching relationship is 12 to 18
months, or $4800 to $7200. There is nothing else with a life-long benefit that costs so
little. Compare it to analysis, or a college education and see the
value in defining your life.

14. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?
There is no goal. I invite you to
think of coaching as a process. Many people create change for themselves
in a short time. However to refine and sustain the change takes
several months. Although I do not make formal time agreements with
my clients, I recommend you commit to coaching for a minimum of
three to six months in order to make this experience as valuable
as possible. The benefits of coaching build over time.
Top of Page
15. Why can’t
I do it myself?
Self-help often gets to be called “shelf-help"
to describe the fact that most people who buy books and audio programs
never actually use them. I once heard Tony Robbins say his research
showed that over half the people who bought his audio programs never
even opened the box! (Can you imagine!?) And, over 93% never
finished the entire set. They bought a program that has helped thousands
of people, but never found the time to listen to the information,
not even one time. Personal coaching is geared toward those who
read the books or attended the seminars and need a little help in
making it useful and personal to them.

16. How would I get started?
Does the thought of living a life
of Deliberate Creation answer a hunger in you? If you are ready
to explore more deeply I invite you to give me a call. The first
conversation is always free to see if we want to work together.
I only accept clients I will enjoy. If we chose to work together,
we will schedule an intro session and you will receive a Welcome
Pack with information, agreement, processes, and several Self Discovery
questionnaires for you to fill out and return.

17. How do I know If I'm ready for this kind of
work?
If you are reading this material
-- then you are, most likely, ready. It’s an ancient dictum - "When
the student is ready, the teacher appears." If you feel even
the slightest excitement about the possibilities then you are not
here by accident. If you are not quite sure, we
invite you to visit Manifestations! at www.transform-u.com. Read
some of our articles and sign up for the free newsletter. Just reading
through the site will give you a
gift of broader awareness.

19. How will
I know if I’m ‘geting it’?
You will begin to notice more ease in your life, less angst
and more synchronicity. You will feel more joy, have more intuitive
flashes, feel more confident and find yourself in the flow of good
things much more often.
Top of Page
20. Do You Have Openings Right Now?
My schedule is very flexible and while I keep a full practice,
clients occasionally reschedule. Give me a call. We can talk about
what you want for yourself and see if this is a fit for you. I only
coach clients that I feel can benefit and are ready. Our initial
conversation is always free.
A Spiritual Life Coach Is:
Someone Who Will:
~Give you direction when you seem
stuck.
~Provide a different viewpoint than you yourself have.
~See the value in you that you don't see.
~Empower you to reach for what you don't think you can have
~and to be who you don't think you can become.
~Be a source of connection to who or what you need.
~See what lies in the shadow of your ego.
~Have the courage to tell you what that is.
~Be more honest to you than any friend you've ever had.
~Accept you for exactly who you are--always.
~Be an example in his/her own personal growth.
~Want more for you than you want for yourself.
Top of Page
What a Coach Isn’t
A Coach Is Not Someone
Who Will:
~Do your life for you.
~Require anything of you that you are not willing to do for yourself.
~Provide therapy or counseling.
~Fix you--you are not broken.
~Break a confidence.
~Coach you when you are unwilling to be coached.
~Judge you as being wrong.
~Keep you as a client when you are not progressing.
~Be dishonest with you or of disservice to you.
~Buy your "act"--your excuse for not living life fully.
What’s the Bottom Line Here?
The Bottom-Line Truth
About Coaching:
It isn’t about
the time . . .
And it isn’t about the money.
It's only about the value it holds for you.
Coaching is a life
changing process--when you are committed to life.
The real questions one must ask are:
Is my life
everything I want--without change?
If not, how committed am I about changing my life?
How much is my life worth to me?
Take some time here
to ponder these questions. The only real requirement we must have
in coaching you, is your commitment to change. Without it, you will
always have just what you have--perhaps a little more--perhaps a
little less--but you will die having exactly what you have.
Coaching is one way
you can have it all! Not the only way--but there is NO way without
commitment!
Pretty heavy-duty.
. .YES! That's the absolute beauty of it. Commitment is just a simple
shift--a change of mind--to valuing your life above all.
