Why I do both Coaching & Healing work
Major transitions can put us in "fight or flight" mode
Clients undergoing significant transitions may experience worry, anxiety and stress. This activates the sympathetic nervous system, triggering a shift to "fight or flight" mode. In this mode, the brain becomes more focused on threat detection, decisions can become impulsive and fear-based. In short, when people are stressed, they become less wise.
Ideally, we want to operate in a brain state where we can think clearly, and make decisions in a more balanced way.
When I recognized how much individuals in transition struggle with stress and its side effects (e.g. poor sleep, worry, fear, overwhelm, confusion and health issues), I decided to integrate my healing modalities and my coaching practice. Reconnective Healing and Access Bars sessions are deeply restorative and proven to prompt the kind of brain state that helps individuals heal and make better decisions. This is consistent with my whole-person approach to working with clients.
